Feeling Great! (8 days post op)

[buchannon 17]

Just staying in from lunch while co-workers have burgers and stuff. I'm 8 days post-op and feeling pretty amazing. People have told me that they can already tell a weight difference in my face and I feel like I have a ton of energy.

I started "puree foods and full liquid" diet yesterday and haven't even made good use of it yet. I tried to puree some Pasta salad yesterday but was so put off by the color and texture that I couldn't eat it - despite it being one of my favorite foods pre-op. You guys weren't kidding when you said tastes change after surgery!

I had a 150 calorie yoghurt 5 hours ago and still don't feel like I want to eat anything. Of course the thought of stuffing my face with french fries sounds nice and familiar but I don't have that hunger feeling that I usually have and get distracted with other things.

HOORAY!! I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling so well after eight days.... wait another week and you'll feel ready to go out dancing!

Get used to having one small yogurt fill you up... I'm nearly 3 weeks out and can just eat the teeniest amounts of anything... a few bites does it. I am sick to death of the mushies... ate a lot of "bites" of yogurt, cottage cheese, and mashed potatoes.... that was about all I could stand.

I feel luckiy that we both got sleeved during the "fat season," we are being saved from the holiday goodies!!

Keep up the good work...

It's amazing how different doctors do different post op diets. I am 7 days post op and start shakes today. I do liquids & shakes for 1 week, then move to creamed Soups. I can't have mushies for 2 more weeks.....yikes! I want more! I see my NUT today and since I feel fine and hungry, I hope she let's me try something early.

Wow my diet is pretty laid back compared to you guys. I have 1st week post-op = liquid diet, 2nd week = puree foods, 3rd week = soft foods, 4th week = whatever I can tolerate.

Your diet is much the same as mine. I am a little confused though. Is yogurt a full liquid or pureed?

I counted it as a pureed food. I think the heaviest thing I tried to consume during my full liquids phase was some chocolate milk - which my stomach didn't like too much.
