My bad time was the purée phase; could NOT do it! I chose more shakes instead. I’m not 6 1/2 week’s post op and can eat just about anything, but some things I used to like don’t taste good to me anymore. Starting eating salads this week and it tasted good. Down 41 lbs since surgery, a few waist sizes and feeling good.

I went poop this morning and I’m down 10 lbs. yessssss!.

Yayyyyy! Every day gets easier and easier!

I would play around a little with what foods your eating because it could be an intolerance issue. Since my sleeve I can't eat eggs anymore, unless it's straight egg whites, without discomfort and cramping. I'm 10.5 months out and I still have issues with eggs so I stay away from them. Also chicken is a big issue for a lot of people so it could be that as well. Keep trying and if it's uncomfortable back down to pureed for a few days and then try again.

Is it bad to say that I regret telling one of my friends? Just feeling super judged about it. I told her at the consideration point, and it looks like it's all green lights from here, but I haven't told any of my friends that I've actually been scheduled. We're all "big girls," but they are super set against surgery. I've tried my other options and they haven't panned out...I guess I'll have to wait and see if this surgery cause me to lose more than the weight I'm carrying (but my parents and my sister are my close support system, along with a very understanding boss and former boss).
