I just started with soft foods today, but... I've kinda decided not to. They don't give enough bang for the nutritional buck. YMMV.

It was allowed on my plan at 4 months. I don't eat bread, rice, or Pasta very often, and when I do, I keep it to the minimum, maybe one of them once or twice a week, or maybe less.

I was allowed "thin" type breads at 8 weeks. I still avoid most bread, Pasta, and rice, although I have eaten all of those things since surgery. It honestly doesn't appeal to me- the "doughy-ness" of the bread is a turn-off. Hard to explain...lol

Hi!

I'm good. it's been very little drama. I have found that if I shift all my Protein Shake intake to the AM it helps with that weird bloating/over full feeling. if I drink them too late in the day i feel icky.

Are you excited Jessica? Did they tell you to bring your own shakes to the hospital. I was so glad I did, the hospital shakes are NASTY :P

Beyond excited! I never thought to bring my own. Sounds like a good idea! I'm a little nervous. My mom was supposed to be sleeved last Monday, but when they opened her up she had cirrhosis of the liver and has to be sewn back up! She was completely cut open too, not laparoscopic.

Oh no! poor thing! How is she doing now? You will be ok! When they did mine they found a cyst on my fallopian tube and had to call in a gyno consult while I was under but everything turned out to be ok. I felt really good after surgery, it was like blinking and it was over. my only bummer is I still can't really bend or lift anything but I am walking about totally fine. you will do great! Definitely bring your won shakes, you don't want to mess around with flavors when you are all layin' in that bed.

She's ok now, sore, but ok. I've had 2 csections so I hope the pain is similar or less lol!

I think it is less! I haven't had a c section BUT was with many friends who did and they couldn't walk for a few days. I literally stood up after surgery and walked myself to the bathroom right after I woke up. pain killers at home for only 2 days before bed and I only used them twice in the hospital before bed. i'm glad your mom is doing ok :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
