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.

My plan doesn't introduce carbs until your almost at goal

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

my office is the same, no carbs till goal weight. no fruit, no rice, no bread, no pasta... not even Beans or potatoes. the puree stage will be interesting.

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 :)

      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... :(
