16 days after surgery and its hard to see and smell food. ..and then not b able to touch it..uugghhh...then.every other tv commercial is got something to do with food..no wonder the world is extra fat..they barely show anything healthy if at all..sept 6 will b the day I move to mushy stage..sumbody needs create a time warp...so I can hv more options..soup is wack

I have been planning all kinds of things to keep me busy so I do not have to see alot of food for post op. Of course I will still have to feed my kids so that is going to be hard but easier than deal with a lifetime of health issues.

It gets a little better every day and once you've racked up a significant weight loss you'll get very quickly to your "happy place". It gets a little tougher later on, but easier to deal with when you've fully recovered from surgery and have some more energy courtesy of weight loss. Good luck with it all.

I couldn't wait to move from liquids to soft foods (4 weeks of liquids)! The day before I was sposed to progress, I woke up nauseous. At 7 pm I realized I had only had 3 oz of Protein shake, nothing else to drink. I waas dehydrated. I was so scared I wouldn't be able to eat food cuz of nausea. But I managed to hydrate myself and enjoyed a scrambled egg the next morning.

I feel ur pain. No advice except to stay strong. U CAN do this!

Yeah thx yall imma hang tight. .I'm excited about being able to walk without the pains...shoot..I did the surgery so I dt plan on folding my hand...I'm smoke free now 1 yr 8 mnths & 21 days so the wait loss is part of a two yr life style change...I can't give up now...I hv never crossed my legs like a lady should so that's one of my goals..simple but huge..
