It sounds like everyone is doing well. Did anyone have a case of the "Foamies"? I just had my second time today at lunch. Not sure if the pain and the foam coming up was from overeating or what I was eating. Today I had 1/2 of a small veggie patty. It was soft but dense so I will hold off on eating this type of food for a few more weeks. Back to yogurt for lunch. Canned green beans are working out well. So I suggest those if you enjoy them and are craving something green.

Best of luck with your surgery! I am sure it will go smoothly. Most importantly this is a new step towards a healthier life.

I got VSG on 12/17, so not two weeks just yet. I have had little to no problems. Sent home from the hospital a day early due to no need for pain meds and I was walking a ton. I did have two days at home where all I did was sleep on and off all day. By 12/23 I felt back to normal and was able to sleep and walk a few miles each day. I know I am lucky after reading through other's posts. My concern is what to eat. My doctor's office told me anything soft enough to cut with the side of a fork. I am vegetarian so meat is out. I am craving salads but they said not until month 2 at the earliest. Currently I am getting about 500 cal per day due to the protein shakes. Only a few bites of homemade runny refried beans and ricotta bake. Just cleaned out my closet for the second time. I lost 50 lbs prior to surgery and got rid of many clothes but more needed to go. I have also pulled out the sewing machine to help get a little life out of some of my shirts and skirts.
