For me I was on full liquids (milk, Soup, yogurt, pudding) right after surgery for two weeks, then two weeks soft food, then started introducing solids

Girlfriday, your post-op diet seems so much more doable. When did you have surgery? How much have you lost? How are you feeling?

My surgery was on April 22nd! I am down 29 lbs since day of surgery and 53 altogether! I really felt like my post op plan was very doable! The most important thing is to introduce new foods one at a time so you know what doesn't sit we'll! I am still having trouble with most solid Proteins but I do a lot of shrimp, crab, and tuna

My post-op diet is liquids for a month, purees for a month, then soft foods for four months.

      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!!
