Day 8 post op. I started mushies yesterday. So far so good. No problems. I have way less hunger than I did the previous days. I am already down 11 lbs and that makes me pretty happy.

way to go I haven't weighed yet I have my appt next weeks so it will be a big surprise I was so swollen so I have no idea at all

I'm on day 8 as well but I'm not doing quite as well with my weight loss I've lost but I have another week before I can move to mushies.

Everyone seems to have such a different diet to follow. I only had to do liquid for one day pre op and 3 days post op. Then I went to full liquids for one day. Then onto to mushies for 3 weeks. I feel for those who have to do weeks of liquids. I don't think I could do that.

Still full liquids here. No mushers till next week. Today I could make mush out of a bone I'm so in the mood!!!! But I'll hold back , cause i know each day is its own journey. Lol. Yesterday Was a. Great day. today...eh. Can't believe it's been a week already though.

I totally get what you mean clarks4willie. The first solid thing I ate after my surgery (and week of liquid diet before it) was a scrambled egg, and it was so good that it literally made me cry. That still makes me laugh when I think about it.

D.

I'm Day 9 and saw my Dr today who said that things were going perfect. I wasn't sure because he likes u to be on a liquid diet until Day 14 Post Op and I started eating some mushys a day ago. I was getting hungry and so tired of Protein shakes and sweets since starting them 16 days Pre-Op.

He said if it feels okay to eat things than I can...just try getting lots of protein in first.

Next appt for fill is in 4 wks if needed...I guess if I am only eating 1/2 cup to 1 cup and I am used to eating a FEW cups of food.

I do get full after eating that amount - i just wonder if it should be harder for me to eat...ugh

Cheaslet, Dr. Woodman is my doc as well. I am 12 days post op and I'm on mushies. I ate a few bites of Pasta tonight, it was over done and so soft but I was still hungry and made myself quit. Scared me that I didn't get full. I think I have head hunger.

Aargh.

Pheath, did you have the plication, too? I did. I feel as though that helps with the hunger pains.

I did have the plication and this was the first time that I didn't get full super quick. Ive been getting really full on about 1/2 to 3/4 cup

Of food. When was your surgery?

Sorry I see you are 8 days po. I had mine on 8/10. I'm scared to go back to him though! I have heard that no matter what you lose he says it isn't enough!

I can definitely see him saying that, but you just have to let what he says roll off your back and be proud about what you have accomplished. He is intense. But his actions make me want to succeed even more.
