Hi. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and have done tremendously. No pain, easy to eat, felt great. Today after work and keeping my grands for my daughter i am completely washed out I just want to crawl into bed and stay there a long time. But we have the two year olds birthday party tomorrow. I hope this is temporary. When did you all start on soft protein. I feel ready and like this would help.

Hi. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and have done tremendously. No pain, easy to eat, felt great. I started at 300 and including 10 pounds lost preop now weight 272. Today after work and keeping my grands for my daughter i am completely washed out I just want to crawl into bed and stay there a long time. But we have the two year olds birthday party tomorrow. I hope this is temporary. When did you all start on soft protein. I feel ready and like this would help.

I started on purees at two weeks out... refried Beans and ricotta cheese fall into the category.

My energy was great for four weeks, but I think everything caught up to me a couple of weeks ago. I still have a lot of energy, but I seem to poop out faster and be more tired at the end of the day. I've heard that it can take several weeks for the physical effects of the surgery (anesthesia, bodily stress, etc.) to leave the body, so I'm resting when I can and going with the flow. You're normal! Have a fun party!

I too started pureed foods at two weeks out. I will start soft foods at 4 weeks.

I can really relate to that wall of fatigue. During week two I worked in my office and on Friday I worked from home. Friday afternoon I hit that wall and stayed in my jammies watching movies until Sunday morning. During week three I hit that wall one day after lunch in my office. It passed the same day.
