I skipped the puréed stage. For the first two weeks I lived off of Water Protein Shakes apple sauce and Sugar Free Chocolate. One day I woke up and ate scrambled eggs, and I've been on a normal diet ever since. Today I had about four bites of a Hardee's lo carb Breakfast cup, four grilled chicken nuggets from chick fil a, a small handful of cashews, and a ton of water. I feel like a normal human being again.

I don't think you're hurting anything. I'm 8 days postop and on eggs, cottage cheese and refried beans already per my surgeon. I do fine with it. I think it's just a different opinion of surgeons.

I'm 11 days post op and I started eatting yesterday. First thing I had was an egg I was so excited then I got kinda sick. And my heartburn was soo bad I tried tums, pepto, "OTC", and some others but the only one that seems to work is my moms prescription omeaprisol or something 20mg worked in seconds literally lol I also ate cottege cheese , humus , applesauce, frozen yogurt. But all I really wanna "eat" is my sugar free Popsicles and WATER! I'm NEVER hungry which is weird for me haha. I think your good. I had a little baby bite of a cheese ball 6 days out. It was the BEST THING EVER! Lol hope everything goes well with you!(:

I have the body aches too, almost like the flu that comes around each day, but, I have to say, I was sleeved on the 11th, and though my recovery has been slower than what I wanted, I do get a tiny bit better each day. It'll all come in time, just try to be patient.

I can't remember who it was, but someone on here mentioned about the "eat slower" app. GENIUS and thank you! I needed something like this and I love it. Seems crazy that a grown adult needs to have an app to tell her how often to eat, but with this new lifestyle, until I get used to it, I am going to use it. THank You, thank you, thank you. I am sure I can ween myself off of it in time, but for now, it iw really helping me a lot,

kisses to all

Hi all! I am 16 days post op today. I had a little set back with surgery and required 2 things of blood and had to stay 2 days longer than I planned. The concern I have is that I still don't have any strength and was wondering if everyone else is having the same problem. Maybe I'm just too impatient but I'm normally a very busy active person.

Hello every one, I had my surgery on March 7th and the Unjury chicken broth Protein has been my saving grace. It seems I have developed an intolerance to milk since my surgery and I can't stomach anything with milk. . .just the thought of any milk products makes me sick which sucks because I use to love milk. But oh well. . .if I have to lose milk to my journey to a healthier me. . then so be it.

I was told not to try roast until week 8 because its hard to digest.

I was told no more than 30 grams of carbs a day until you meet goal then they will be slowing added in until you have a gain. Everyone loses at a different pace also. But 12 pounds is not bad at all in a little over 2 weeks. I have lost 17 and 5 was pre op. I went to the doc today they said that it was a good amount ( my starting BMI was 38.1) The doctor also said I should lose another 15-20 by my next appt on April 19th. I know it can be discouraging though. I have gained and lost the same pound for the last week :( but I know it will get better and we will be skinny in no time! Keep up the good work:)

I too am not to drink milk for 10 days since I had an intolerance to it my very first shake I made. My dr said I hv to build my flora back up so im taking 2 probiotic balls 2x a day. And I LOVE MILK! Booo...it may not be permanent so I am praying to 'get milk' again!

I had the same "cry" but it didn't last long b/c we have to re-direct and sip, sip, get your Protein down and sleep and rest and recover. Walking a few times per day. Just think one day at a time. Don't get too far ahead. The sad feeling leaves faster than it hits. We are going to be HEALTHY! I know you will feel better and better! Hang in there, better days ahead....

I love milk too but it has upset my stomach so bad that I'm back to Clear Liquids. Just thinking about eating/drinking anything besides clear liquids makes me sick to my stomach. I hope you get to drink milk again :D

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
