I know how you feel! My sister-in-law had bypass, and she was on mushy food a lot sooner than I was, and she's also not continuing with shakes like I am (I had the sleeve). But you need to follow the diet that was given to you for your surgery. It sucks. It's hard. And yes, for a few days after my surgery (October 14), I was pissed I couldn't eat more than I was allowed to.
But you know what? I feel great!! I've lost 32 pounds in three weeks. I don't have the gas pains any more.
Trust that your doctor knows what's right for you. It's hard not to compare yourself to other people who have had similar surgeries, but you and your surgery are unique.
And keep coming here to complain and get help and support. We ALL need that!!
I feel my post op diet is a bit much sometimes. 2 week liquid pre op then 4 weeks liquid post op then 4 weeks pureed and 4 weeks soft food.
But I'm going to do it.
No one asked me what I thought lol.
