Sleeved 12/15, and went to our annual Chinese Food dinner last night for Christmas. I discovered the joy of egg drop soup! It tasted great, and while everyone had their meal, I gently separated the egg bits from the soup and ate the one bowl. I was comfortable, not deprived and for the first time since the surgery felt like I had the energy I had pre-surgery. Getting better every day. Looking forward to seeing the doctor on Monday morning, and hopefully I can move to the pureed stage. Already down a solid 25 lbs from my all time high before the pre-op. Feeling hopeful.

Hi there - First post ever! I had surgery on the 15th of December, released from the hospital on December 16th. Feel pretty good - but having a lot of trouble with the protein requirement which is making me very tired and weak. I hate the shakes and got permission from my surgeon to drink the protein water instead. Now I'm beginning to develop an aversion to that. I go back to the doctor on the 27th. I'm hoping - hoping! - he'll release me then to start eating soft foods. I'm still on liquids only. How quickly were you able to eat soft foods? I see a lot of people eating eggs and yogurt far more quickly than the 2 weeks I've been told. Also, how soon do you start to feel...."normal" again? I just feel so weak and fuzzy.
