Whatcha asking us for?? :P

But since you asked? NO :D

I would suggest you call your doctor..

At 11 day (the first month really) your stomach is still raw and numb so it's really hard to feel anything in there.

I would stick with the program the doctor gave. My doctor had me on pureed food after one week but I know many others have different policies.

Also everyone's body is different, they make these manuals for the mass population, bcause they have no way of knowing what your body will respond to. They and you don't know if you follow exactly the manual that all hell won't break loose at the next scheduled stage.

Try explaining that one to your doctor..

"Ummm yeah... Some chick on the Internet told me to go for it"

Hello, I am 13 days out and just came from my after surgery check-up. I've been eating small amounts of chicken, tuna, greek yogurt and mashed potatoes since day 9... I told my doctor and he wasn't at all mad, he actually told me that it was fine as long as it wasn't causing pain or nausea. Good Luck!!

Nice! I'm a girl that loves cars... When I was younger I used to have classic cars and even worked on them myself. My grandfather taught me because he thought I'd probably never land a man to do those things for me :P

My daughter is getting a car soon and she is displaying a unique taste in cars too.

These days I'm rocking my midlife crisis in Porsche boxster.

I went for my three month post op appt. I have had no pain, no nausea, a slight stall and I stuck to my drs directions even though I felt great. I have lost 73 lbs. my doctor thanked me for listening to him- he said, that's the secret- do what your doctor tells YOU to do and if you want to jump ahead, call him and get his okay. Don't take some strangers advise on your stages of eating. There are plenty of people on here who got a leak, had gall bladder issues etc- you don't want that because you had to have some mashed potatoes. IMO

I'd say to do what your doctor told you. My doctor has us on purée in the hospital the day after surgery, but all doctors are different.

      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.

      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!!
