Suddenly (yesterday) , I was able to eat Spinach before no problem or even my morning smoothies with no issues. Since yesterday this discomfort has happened. When I drink my smoothies I usually poor it in a cup and takes sips but since yesterday anything that enters my mouth leaves a discomfort.

Right !!!

So I’m 2 1/2 post op and as of yesterday 6/15/21 , anything that I eat or drink is causing a discomfort. If I try drinking water , there’s a discomfort then pain, not to mention food even a salad causes the same discomfort then pain. Anyone else experienced this? And could give an insight to what this might mean? I texted my doctor and waiting for a response but still wondering what this could be.

Great news

I’m on my second week of purée and my third week post op. Has anyone find that they are able to eat a little more than 2oz? I can maybe manage 2-3 sometimes 3-4 but no more. Has anyone has the experience? Also maybe cause I’m not eat as much protein that probably allows for this ? Just curious.

Well I went down two pounds but it’s still a slow progress. Today I had my type of favorite chicken , I didn’t purée it . I just cut it up really small and chewed it a lot. Not eating food is a bummer but the reward will be great

??? oh no ...

Yes I went from 312 to 290 in the first two weeks . Yesterday I weighed myself and it went to 289 but I’m looking for the same weight lost as the first two weeks.

Thanks

Well I’m three weeks post op and I lost 21 pounds now I’m at a stall ?

Yea I’ve been holding onto ice pops and Bai drinks and protein drinks during that first couple days. I’m going to be on purée for about two more weeks. I’m not sure if that’s longer or shorter than average but some days it feels like torture.

Thanks ??

All of this? I had 2.0z of salmon and avocado puréed together and 1 cup of protein shake mixed with yogurt that took me about an hour to drink. I think that’s very minimal compared to what I should be eating . I’m on week 3z

Yes. I’m not hitting my protein but I’m trying

This made me so nervous today , I decided I’m going to go full on liquid today in hopes to move the scale down a notch or two .

Today I’m 3 weeks post op and I’m also on my second week of purée foods. So far I’ve lost 20lbs pounds, however on 4/6, I weighed myself and the scale indicated I gained a pound (yikes ), yesterday 4/7, it remained at the 1 pound gain and this morning 4/8 it still remained at the one pound gain, however I peed and stripped myself naked and it went down some ounces for a pound difference. I haven’t ate anything out the norm of tuna or salmon with pumpkin or avocado puréed. Anyone experienced this? Or have advice?

Sigh I can relate . But I’ve upped my protein intake and a little less hungry, I just want to eat regular food at this point .

Try and see

Yes it’s so hard

Trying cutting your carbs , no bread and adding healthy starch like pumpkin, broccoli, Brussel spout, spinach.

Today I upped my protein . I had half of premier protein with some Greek yogurt and made a shake and I was pretty full off that and then I had some salmon with avocado. I think the shake helped to cut down some of the hungry. I’m new to this and figuring it out as well. Have you tried that ?

Wow I would love to hear the responses on this.

I’m going to try this in the morning with my protein shake and yogurt as I wake up and then an egg with avocado for breakfast and try to finish my protein/ yogurt combo throughout the day and see if it makes a difference along with maybe tuna and pumpkin for dinner and another meal if possible.
