Actually I believe this month I will be able to eat solid foods...during my check up. I eat pretty much the same thing everyday...protein shake for breakfast, lentils with ground beef for lunch and dinner, sf pudding, either sf applesauce or jello and 1 cheese stick. 40 ozs of water

Hi! What great news!!! Amazing to think that in 2 months I will be able to eat regular food! I'm doing well...today for the first time I think I felt hungry! lol I am still on purée foods and am having a bit of a challenge with what exactly to eat...I have been eating the same thing for about 2 weeks lol maybe next week I will venture out and try something different. The scale is not moving but I expected that and hopefully soon it will! So so glad to hear about ur success!!!

Oh no! Keeping your mom lifted in prayer that all works out well for her!

Awww thanks!!! I appreciate it! My face is looking a little thinner if I say so myself ??

Thanks!! ?

Hello Ladies....I hope everyone is doing well! I am feeling better and have managed to get in at least 3 small meals and 2 snacks per day...it does take me a while and they are really small but I did notice that after I started adding more meals my scale is moving!!! Wooo hooo I can't eat a lot maybe 2 ounces but I will take it! Hope everyone is ready for the weekend!

Wow keep it up! Congrats on the weight loss!

lol I got to about 232 and called it a day lol I'm exhausted!

First day back at work and I wish I had over 50! I have over 300 emails and I was checking them while I was off. I'm trying to take it slow today but I am exhausted I can't wait to go home. I miss my mid afternoon naps lol Hope everyone is having a great day!

lol yes!!! Nothing like mom's cooking lol

Omg ladies....After struggling to get any food down I FINALLY ate something today!!!! It was about 2ozs but I'm not complaining!!! Small victory for me!!! I had purée ground beef and lentils made by mom it was good!

I'm actually active and don't really get tired...it's just the food part!

Oh no I don't want that....I will keep trying to get food down...

Yes I will give my doctor a call on Tuesday...I feel like I should be making more progress than I am

That looks amazing!

No I don't actually vomit....I have the runs when I do eat something. I have been able to eat...jello, sf pudding but it's not everyday some days it's just liquids. What is a stricture?

Yes I have Zolfran for the nausea...I take it a few times a day but I really don't want to get dehydrated but don't know how to get my liquids in and food in when I just can't...

Omg I feel the exact same way and I'm 13 days post op....I have no idea when this gets better....I am on zofran also but I can't have anything near me because the small makes me nauseous

When does this nausea get better...I'm 13 days post op and have such a hard time with any food (I'm on purée) and now protein. I know for sure I'm not getting enough liquids in...not sure what to do at this point...any help would be great...everything I eat goes right through me and I have to run to the bathroom....I don't want to get dehydrated. I can get water down (about 32 ozs a day) but I can't live off of just water.

Yes I did burp and I stopped. At that point I had eaten maybe 1 bite of the mashed potatoes I just couldn't take another bite. I went back to my protein shakes and water for the rest of the night but I have been in the bathroom with the runs for the past 2 hours...on the bright side I'm not constipated

Maybe I feel horrible....I'm not throwing up but am in bathroom....feeling pretty crappy

My first full day on purée and I can't get anything down. I had 1/2 scrambled egg and 1 tablespoon of mashed potatoes earlier (not together) and now the thought of food is making me nauseous...do I need to ease myself into this stage? Did anyone else have this issue? Not feeling all that great today...

Went to my first post-op appointment today...down 17 pounds woo hooo and I can move to soft purée foods! I came home and made a small bowl of cream of wheat and my eyes definately eat more than my new tummy! I couldn't eat even 1/2 but I am adjusting to my new normal! Now to enjoy some purée foods

Where in NYC? I live in Queens

Isnt the strangest thing....of all things mashed potatoes! I don't really ever eat mashed potatoes lol
