What R U Eating 11 Day Postop?

[Ymabme 7]

I had surgery on July 27. I was given purees in the hospital, and was on them for 2 weeks. Now I'm eating "soft food" which basically means no really fibrous things, only really well cooked veggies, canned fruit, or veggies. For dinner tonight I had turkey meatloaf and like 2 pieces of green Beans. It's crazy to me how different the plans are, but I'm following mine to the letter, so I'm ok with that.

I go to a support group every thurs at 6 pm in Edmond Oklahoma at Weightwise

When was your surgery? That's where I had mine also. I really need to get my butt to another meeting.

I had my surgery July 31 and you?

Me too! I'm sure I seen you walking the hall then. I had my 13 year old daughter walking with me. How are you doing so far? How much have you lost? I gained 10 pounds the day of surgery from gasses and such. I'm at 18 as of today.

Does any one know when our hair stops falling out.how many months?

Hair loss is associated with rapid weight loss so this varies depending on how quickly you lose and how long your period of rapid loss is (average is 70% loss in the first six too 9 months at which times things slow down).

I had my surgery on the 30th. My doc's plan is:

Week 1: Clear liquids only (not Soups, just broths, Water, Jello, popsicles, etc)

Week 2: pureed foods - foods have to be the consistancy of applesauce

Week 3-5: Soft Foods

Week 6: Begin regular foods

I'm on pureed foods. I do greek yogurt, Shelly's ricotta bake, Protein shakes, crystal light, Soups, broth, etc. Yesterday I did tuna fish/mayo that I whipped with a fork until smooth, and had some on some ritz crackers that I chewed until they dissolved before swallowing. 3 crackers topped with the tuna fish made up my lunch.

I gained 10 pounds after the surgery also but now I've lost 15 ......25 total if you count the 10 pounds from surgery

What? grits are great. However, I don't think I will be getting any of those anytime soon. I'm more than a week from mushies and In;t sure where my doc stands on them. I may have to find out.

I see Dr. Kim is your surgeon. You should have received a white book with dietary guidelines at one of your last appointments, usually "Bariatric U." All the post-op dietary requirements are in there.
