My surgery date was August 13th. It was a rough few weeks!!! I had a terrible case of the foamies and so much mucous --sorry/gross:( But after the 2nd day of my third week my new stomach began to open up and change a little...it let me get some more liquids in, some more protein and some soft foods. It took a great realization for me to understand that everyone won't be able to follow the diet without a little personal modification to suit your own circumstances. I'm positively on the right track now!!! BW 271 / PreOp 255 / currently 3WKs since WLS 236## SupaSTAR
