Has anyone been able to eat solids on week 2 or 3. I have mostly liquids but sometimes I'll have an egg or a tiny piece or chicken or the soft vegetables from Soup. Also has anyone gained during their time of the month??

Let you body lead you in this. My surgeon has a schedule for patients to follow, I tried it but my body was not ready so I returned to liquids for an additional week. After that everything was fine.

And yes you can/may gain sure the time of the month. It should fall right back off once it's over.

I haven't gain during my period, but I did hit a stall.

Nto sure what your surgeon says but you shouldn't be eating solid food at 3 weeks. At this point I was on pureed. Don't risk harm to your tummy healing, stick with your pureed at this stage.

I haven't even started solid food yet and I am almost 5 weeks post op. It was 2 days Clear Liquids, then full liquids for 11 days, pureed for week and a half, soft moist foods (what I'm doing right now). and then in 3 days I get to start full foods.

I say follow your doc orders but its not uncommon to be on soft to solid food at three weeks I kno ppl who's diet progress fast you can't go on what others say cause docs have rules for their patients but its about listening to your body my doc said that I could advance as long as I was able to tolerate what I eat and just take my time do it very slow one food at a time so I'm 6 weeks tomorrow I'm on some solids and soft but I tried beef roast had no problem it was very tender I could only eat about a oz of that

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
