Below you'll find my regiment over the next several weeks... I'm curious as to what others look like and how you're managing. I'm 2 weeks out. Original weight 428 Sleeved 1/23 at 388 2 weeks post op 368 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm at 2 weeks but I'm not allowed to have tuna until week 6. I just added blended Greek yogurt and sugar free pudding and on Wednesday I will be able to have oatmeal and fruit blended into a Protein shake and half a banana. A week later I can start to add my veggies and such. I've included some photos here of what my regiment looks like cause the idea of trying to eat tuna right now sounds terrible.

I am 2 weeks out and doing pretty well, though I forget to take my Vitamins I'm trying to do better about that. I find I can take in a lot of liquid but trying to eat a yogurt or a snack pack pudding and I get nauseous. It is however easier to eat those things when I Water it down with Protein. On Wednesday I will be able to have fruit in protein smoothies and oatmeal. I'm really looking forward to having something not sweet that has some texture. Including my pre-op diet I went from 428 to 368 in 2 months. 60 pounds!! Here is a picture from September and a pic of me from a week ago! How's everybody else doing?

This is exactly what I've been looking for I haven't hit oatmeal yet that happens Wednesday and in another week I can have egg which will make a huge difference for me. I swear everything right now is sweet and tangy making me crazy. I want to eat something salty that has texture to it not just liquid Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What Vitamins do you take how many times a day? I know I have to take my Multivitamin 3 times a day and my Iron twice a day but I also have B12 and Calcium and unsure how often to take those. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

How are you feeling? Misty Pretty good. I have been able to get 25-30 Protein in the last 2 days each and around 45 oz of fluids, but I'm struggling with the fact that I miss chewing. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery yesterday. It went smoothly. I'm sore, but the gas pain hasn't been as bad as I expected. I've had some chicken broth and a no sugar added fudgesicle and now some beef broth. Anybody else have surgery yesterday? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

It went very smoothly. It took about an hour and I slept on and off most of the day yesterday. I have a bit of gas but not too bad and I'm sore as hell but I have meds for that. I'm already home. I'm sipping on beef broth and Water and I'll have a popsicle later. I'm so excited to start on this journey. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Surgery in the morning!! I'm hungry and nauseous from anticipation all at the same time! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I'm excited for you! I was scared and thrilled at the same time too! I am only 5 days post op, but honestly, so far I have had no problems and very little pain. I never even had to take the pain Meds they sent me home with (I did this as outpatient surgery.). Don't be scared, it was way less painful than I imagined.I guess I'm more nervous about the after effects. Today I'm hungry and have a headache. I still have to make my bed and take the shower with the special soap but I'm so ready to get this part done! A new life even if it will still be hard work! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App The pre op diet was the worse part of the whole thing for me. I was so freakin hungry! The post op has been a piece of cake in comparison because I have zero hunger for the first time in my life! My understanding is that hunger does eventually return but I am enjoying the hell out of it right now!How long were you on preop I was high Protein low carb for almost 2 months Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

What does your liver reduction diet include? Does your doctor want you to lose a specific amount? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

Yes they can. I have some of that already with protein shakes. Drink them very slowly and that will help Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

How are you feeling now? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Still having some gas pains no matter how much I am moving around; haven't been able to keep anything down except water. Doctor said most important thing is to stay hydrated. I am trying my best to keep at least 64 oz down. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App It'll get better I'm sure. I know it's hard.

That sounds amazing actually. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I don't have to be on strictly liquid diet until the day before my surgery. I've had all sorts of delicious things and still lost 34 lbs in 4 weeks and still have a week to go before my surgery is set. I know I will still have delicious things after. I don't want to go overboard with a last supper but I do want to have my goodbyes. I'm from New Orleans and my last supper will include King cake. Just not sure what else.

I'm starting out at a 32, I'd be very happy to be a 16/18 Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Then again I've always been larger. So I guess it doesn't bother me as much as it does some folks Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App
