Glad to see so many people are doing this. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago and have been enjoying eggs with cheese. Lox with cream cheese. Tuna or egg salad with mayo. I ate an avocado plain and it upset my stomach. I even did bullet proof coffee. I still do a protein shake mixed with cold cinnamon coffee, even though they don't encourage whey protein on keto. I can't choke down a protein shake by itself anymore though. I might be ruined from all the protein shakes ???? I also started walking today. I don't even think about bread or sugar really. I think I've just told myself that those are foods that don't fit into my lifestyle anymore. So far so good!

From the date of my surgery to when I went back to work it was 13 days total. Was probably perfect for me.

Gas pain for me was hardly noticeable. It just felt like normal gas.

2 weeks and 2 days post op. It feels like I had surgery a month ago, other than the scabs on my tummy [emoji4] I can drink water no problem. Only thing that has really irritated my tummy so far is avocado. Almost gave me instant heart burn. I hope it's not permanent because I LOVE avocado. I've tried mozarella. Olives. Cream cheese. Eggs, scrambled and over medium. Colby/jack cheese. Egg salad. Tuna salad. Mayo with both. All have been fine. I do find that my taste for certain foods have definitely changed. I would really love to have some cooked meat and veggies. I might be trying out some crockpot chicken and veggies. Protein shakes are basically gag-inducing at this point. I'm just glad that I am tolerating pretty much all foods so far. Oh and I'm down 27 lbs from the start of my pre-op liquid diet [emoji4] so that's 4 weeks and 2 days ago! HW 267 SW 253 CW 240

I'd say days 2-3. Probably 3 because that was my first full day at home without the glorious IV dropping pain mess into my system. But it really significantly improved every day. Day 10 now and I feel great.

Yeah, I was moved from the liquids to purée after 10 days, when I was initially told 2 weeks. Cant say I was complaining though! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Good to know. I just feel like I'm tolerating everything really well, and would love to try a scrambled egg or something other than liquid. Obviously don't want to damage anything, but I know some docs advance their WLS patients quickly. I'm struggling over here When's your next apt?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 5 weeks Oh wow, so far away! Is that when you're due to advance? (I hope not!) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Oh no! I'm supposed to advance in 5 days. I just find myself putting off the Protein shakes now. Having a hard time just choking down one of them. Yeah they get old after a while. What kind are you doing?

I was told only low impact (walking, elliptical, etc) for 6 weeks. My surgery date was 12/21 [emoji4]

I'm curious if anyone was advanced by their doctor to the next stage of their post-op diet before the original timeline. I.e. Advanced from full liquids to puree before 2 weeks?

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Were you eventually able to tolerate sausage? Or do you find that you still have that problem?

Anyone start eating keto right out of the gate? Like as soon as you were off of soft foods, etc? I'm still a few weeks away from the normal diet phase, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of living off of sugar-free/fat-free products. I'm a bit concerned that I won't be able to tolerate the fats associated with keto, so I'm curious what others' experiences have been.

So far so good [emoji4] came home on Thursday. Friday wasn't so fun... pain, a little nausea. Yesterday was much better, and today even better [emoji4]

Chicago area as well. I had my surgery on Wed 12/21 with Dr. Lufti at St. Joseph's [emoji4]
