Once again here , today is my 20th day post op. Surgery date 12/29. Still can't eat anything other than yogurt 2-4 oz over an hour, protein shake same speed. Anything else( soup , mashed potatoes, Baba ganoush, ) I can eat couple of bites, after 5 minutes of that I start belching , severe pain in chest and eventually I throw up . Now I'm even getting hungry but can't eat anything as I'm scared of the pain.my doctor gave an OK to eat almost a week and a half ago but I can't [emoji853] Anyone else feeling that way ??

Thank you I had rice today as I couldn't down anything since morning, and I had cooked for the family so thought I'll try but boy did I regret. Lesson learned [emoji4]

And yes i have been chewing and eating really slow and small bites [emoji853] my doctor said I can start with food and see how it goes . Apparently it's not going good I guess ..

Ok so I'm exactly 2 weeks post op and wanted to know if this is normal, every time I eat something, (just had 2 teaspoon of rice) I have severe chest pain ( gas pain ) to the point that I throw up [emoji849][emoji853]

Going through the same thing 11 days post op, list 14.7 lbs, gains 3 lbs back and on a stall for 3 day [emoji849]

What's a belly binder ?

I've literally been taking baby bites eating with teaspoon or just licking [emoji4]

I kind of feel the same and yes the buzz was great[emoji7] but felt guilty with every dip. And the gas after that was wohhhhh!!! Regrettted it though [emoji4]

Wow u look great !! 1 week post op and getting worried about the stalls already. Your post definitely gave me some positivity [emoji4] Goodluck with the last 40 lbs.

I feel the same , I've been on liquid diet since 12/25 , surgery 12/29 and lost 14 lbs and yesterday was st a birthday party ate a spoon or 2 of mash potatoes ( hurt like crazy later) and a 5 oz glass of wine ( please don't judge) and gained 2 lbs[emoji849] it sucks . My doctor said I can start mushy food , it's difficult like hell to eat even s spoon and if I do , I'm up a pound [emoji15].

Ok so how much you should be down 10 days post op on average???

I tried chewing for quite some time and 1 spoon was eaten in multiple bites [emoji853]

So day 8 post op I tried a spoon of honey oat cereal in protein shake . Boy did I regret [emoji15] I had severe gas and pain . Is that normal ?

So I'm day 7 post op, dying to have some real food. Tried scramble egg made very soft, 2 small nibble bites , was bend over in pain because of gas or something [emoji15] Tried hummus, 1-2 tsp that storks fine if u take 15 minutes to finish that. Today tried mashed potato, no issues with it but felt guilty because of carbs[emoji853] Tried baby food .. goes well but yucksss . So far I try to take 2 shakes a day ( mostly finish 1 and 1/2 ) 1 Greek yogurt small cup and a cup or may be 2 ( total 8oz ) of homemade chicken broth . Any one has stage 2 post op diet to share? HW=255 SW=230 CW=216.4

Any ideas for breakfast other than protein shake? , Day 7 post op [emoji4]

Mine was in Dec 29 , I went to work on 1/1and prior to that have been on my feet as got 2 lil ones. Today since evening my extreme right stitch/incision hurts , really bad to touch and otherwise [emoji853] not sure if I overworked it??

I'm 43 6 days post op and of course need a strong support group. I was missing solid food today like anything and now one of my stitch, extreme right one [emoji849] I've been on liquids, 1-2 shakes , broth and Gatorade. I did have a spoon of hummus today kind of licked it for 5 minutes. Am I on track or doing something wrong ?
