I found full liquids to be really tough, because it felt like everything I could eat was sweet-jello, pudding, Popsicles, Protein shakes... I wanted something savory so bad! Thankfully puréed foods have been much easier to handle and allow for much more variety! Hang in there!!!

I took some pinto Beans added chicken broth blended and strained it. I actually started purée earlier than my doctor ordered but I needed something. Started w a scrambled egg and are it very slowly. The liquids were definitely the hardest phase. I REALLY struggled w it so I can relate. Luckily I had no issues w nausea gas etc but I felt ok moving ahead a couple of days early.

Liquid is a tough stage. I'm on puréed and I can have cottage cheese, tuna fish, chicken salad, mashed potatoes. Soups with soft veggies, and scrambled eggs.. It's a lot better than the liquid stage. I have ate too fast and got sick so it's important to remember to eat slow and space it out.

So do you purée all that up before you eat it ? I'm not sure i can stomach blended up meats-- are they bad ?

I made creamy Soups, blended, then strained it. Helped a lot with full liquids.

      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?

      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... :(
