According to research ive done on the Keto diet suggests that having carbs increases the craving for carbs. Not medical advice.

Yeah, I think I am going to stay away from carbs. Has the Keto diet worked for you?

I know my surgeon told us in our pre-op seminar to not eat mashed potatoes. Not that they'd hurt you necessarily, but because they aren't good for you (carbs) and she didn't want us getting back to old habits of eating unhealthy foods.

No, you haven't stretched your stomach. It's pretty hard to stretch your stomach.

I'm surprised you're eating soft foods just a week out, but every surgeon has different recommendations. Take it easy. Take tiny little bites. Take it slow.

Congrats and best wishes on your WLS journey.

Thank you so much! I was surprised too but my stomach feels good so far.

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

I am a week out from surgery and I started pureed food this week.

I'm not sure if it's just my anxiety, but I'm kind of nervous that I gained a pound yesterday. I ate half of a deviled egg, mashed potatoes, and some egg salad yesterday, but it was my first time eating mashed potatoes so maybe I should stay away from carbs?

I also felt hungrier than normal. Is it possible to stretch your stomach a week in? My program is kind of behind due to COVID, so my apologies for the many questions.

Thank you so much!

my surgery is on the 17th! super nervous because I have tachycardia due to my POTS. any advice to anyone with similar issues?
