I am 9 months post op but at 2 weeks post op I was all liquids. I drank Protein drinks that were recommended to me by my nutritionist, I tried to drink Water, even hot Water (it was very soothing to my stomach. I drank diet cranberry juice, hot chicken broth or beef broth. Week 3 I added yogurt to the mix. Dannon fit and light yogurt. Hope this helps.

I'm at the 1 1/2 week mark post op. Today it's sugar free Swiss miss with Unjury powder blended fine with ice and almond milk. Very good! I've been surviving on Sugar free puddings, jellos, broths, laughing cow cheese triangles, sf Popsicles that sort of thing. I made the family spaghetti and garlic bread tonight. It smelled fantastic but I had a tablespoon of sauce and was satisfied. It was the strangest thing!! ;) I didn't feel cheated because it's my choice, I can sure as hell keep pushing it until I can eat near what I did or not. So it's my decision not to and that makes it easier for me.

From the booklet my surgeon has it says day 15 post op is Stage 2-pureed Diet.

That's everything from stage 1, of course, and add:

  • Pureed chicken or turkey with no skin
  • Pureed fish (water-packed tuna)
  • These soft fish should be mashed very fine with a fork: Haddock, tilapia, cod and salmon
  • Pureed tofu
  • 2 scrambled egg whites or 1/4 cup of egg substitute
  • Pureed fat-free refried Beans
  • Cream Soups made with fat free milk
  • 1% cottage cheese
  • Ricotta cheese
  • no sugar added applesauce
  • mashed banana
  • mashed potato
  • canned vegetables pureed
  • pureed acorn or butternut squash
  • pureed sweet potato
  • cream of wheat
  • oatmeal

Eat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the pureed Proteins four to five times a day and 1/4 cup of the fruit, vegetables, and starches two times a day

GNC carry some great Protein Drinks with 40grams .. Try Isopure apple melon! Or their Quest Protein Bars are good also... No nuts but nut powders.. I am 6 weeks out and am eating most things.. Healthy and 1/2 cup max

      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... :(
