I am in the same boat. Yesterday made 1 month post op for me and the scale has not moved since week 3...I am getting very discouraged and trying hard not to cry! 😢😢😢😢

Just take it slow and chew alot and you should be fine. I just started soft foods today after 2 weeks of liquids.
I had an egg and a string cheese. Went down quite well. Best damn egg I've ever eaten in my life. I plan on trying tuna tomorrow.

I understand perfectly how do you feel about eating soft foods. When I started that phase I quickly found out that certain things would not stay down, such as tuna and other things as I came across them. The important thing is to remember to chew your food really really well at least 20 times before you try to swallow. I can tell you from learning the hard way, and throwing up multiple times from trying to eat too quickly it is not a fun thing to spend the next two hours feeling sick.
Just take it slow and incorporate little things at a time to see how you do. Good luck.

Yes, I clearly remember being afraid of eating after four weeks of shakes (two weeks pre-op and two weeks post-op). They are so easy and there is no guesswork, whereas starting on soft foods involves measuring portions, calculating Protein content and counting calories. It's definitely scary at first, but it's all part of the process of getting to your new normal over the next few months. Just follow the program your surgeon/nutritionist gave you and you'll be fine.

yes very normal if heart burn continues call you doctor they will give you meds, It will only last a few weeks while healing

It came off! 😁

If it helps I weighed myself the day after I left the hospital (day four) and I'd gained 3 pounds. When I had my one week check-up three days later I was down 10 pounds from my surgery which means 13 pounds in three days. I think a lot of it had to do with the IV Fluid and the not being able to have a... um, well no delicate way to say this, a bowel movement, for the first few days. It DOES come off though so don't stress too much!

Thank you amberpons30!

I just started soft foods just remember to take your time and eat small bites and eat slow you will be ok i still have some pain if i dont chew enough but ive been doing pretty good. You got this

Not going to be easy I am going to take the view you did not tell anyone, Sip your broth eat your popsickles and enjoy the new found you!
You have to kick the head game food addiction so focus on your health and work

Sounds like a horribly cruel joke. I am going to assume complete ignorance on the person involved. Throw them away it is completely unsafe to even attempt that at 1 week out. Then go find their coffee and pour ex lax in it.

Your tissues and organs are still very swollen from the surgery will take several weeks to go down.

I never peed so much starting about 2 days after surgery. Couldn’t go at all right after surgery. Your body has to chill out a bit.

I was up 15 pounds when I got home and weighed in, so disappointing!

stay off the scale for the first week. But then, the Water from the IV fluids should have worked their way out of your system.

It's Water weight from the IV fluids!! Plan on peeing your brains out for the next week! LOL!!!
