I’m also having a hard time with heartburn, I have to take Prilosec twice a day, but I was told it could be up to 6 months before it starts to subside and I notice if I forget to take it twice a day it doesn’t affect me so I’m hoping that’s a sign that it’s easing?!

I’m also 7 weeks out & have lost about 22 lbs. I keep trying to avoid the scale because of fluctuations. I’ll lose nothing one week & the 5 lbs the next & then gain a lb or 2. I don’t want to cause extra stress by continuously checking but my work desk is literally right beside a scale. 😩

I was going to say my plan is exactly the same & then I realized your profile says harrisburg, did you do surgery at Hershey? That’s where I had mine done!

Yes! Search "Shelly's Ricotta Bake" on Pinterest. I used lowfat ricotta instead of full fat. It was SO GOOD. Also, I'm a huge fan of Starbucks Egg White bites.

I had my post op appt yesterday, I was sleeved on 11/19 & lost 17lbs! I was genuinely surprised. I know my clothes are fitting looser, but I’m trying not to focus too much on my weight right now and focus on more of the nutrition. I can’t believe how much more energy I have and how much better I feel walking. I’m so excited to see how the next year goes. Has anyone made any yummy recipes for the soft stage? I feel like I’ve been boring and sticking to chicken, cheese sticks, yogurt & chili mostly. I need a little variety the next few weeks!

@meljbolles I am allowed to start week 4. I had liquids week 1 & pureed weeks 2 & 3. Next Monday I’ll be able to start the softs! I’m excited and nervous about the big step! However, with chicken salad going to well, I’m hoping the transition isn’t rough on my belly. ☺️

I start soft foods tomorrow (on my birthday!) and I legitimately asked to have the ricotta bake for my birthday dinner! I am looking so forward to no longer having to blend my meals. I also miss eggs and am excited about having that again. Baby steps, small bites, and chewing forever, of course!

I’m not sure how to respond to people on here. 😄 I am able to tolerate the refried Beans with enchilada sauce & cheese, chicken salad, a buffalo chicken salad, some cheesecake Protein pudding type thing & I tried a little bit of mashed potatoes, but I’ve been mainly rotating through chicken salads & beans! I’ve tried egg salad.. but it was store bought and made me nauseous.. I think it would’ve fared much better had I made it myself!

I'm not at that point yet, but found several recipes on yummly for post bariatric surgery.
