I just realized in my paperwork.. that I go from the 5 wks of full liquids stage to solid food. There is no mushie/puree stage! WOOOO HOOOOOO

of course it says to eat tender things, chew 230942304 times, no steak yet etc etc.. BUT IM EXCITED. YESSSSSSSSSSSS :)

I guess I can live thru 4 more wks of full liquids :)

I am surprised you are on full liquids for so long. I would include a soft and mushy stage just to be safe. While you think you might be ready to move on your stomach may not.

I was only prescribed to stay on full liquids for a week, mushy/puree/soft solids for 2 weeks and progress to solid foods as tolerated.

Least to say, it took over 3 months for solid foods to be tolerable. You might find that even the most mushed up, chewed to cardboard tasting foods just don't work that soon.

Of course, we'll all cheer for you if you can eat 3oz of chicken that early, but typically that's not the case.

I plan on taking it veryyy slow. Like baked Beans, chicken salad, mashed potatoes etc... I am going to be thrilled with just that! The chicken can wait lol

I don't blame ya one bit. Those are all mushy/pureed by my guideline so I think you'll do great. Don't forget egg salad, and Greek yogurt YUM ! ! !

Chicken still sucks for me at 2 years out compared to red meats. Scallops and shrimp are both really good Protein soft Proteins that will help you not live on Protein Drinks for months on end.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
