IM only 4 days out (liquids phase) and I'm just curious when some of you tried any "normal foods". Although I'm not hungry I am looking forward to having a grilled cheese! Lol can't wait till the 28th day so I can move to soft solids.

I has my sleeve surgery on January 17, and this liquid diet is hard, I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end. I am not craving food but I just want to chew something of substance. I had 4 days of pre-op liquid food and I am scheduled to stay on liquids until January 31 then move to soft foods. This phase we are in is all about letting your sleeve heal. U will have ur cheese sandwich again soon.

My surgery was January 22nd. I am on full liquids including cream cream Soups and cream of wheat or cream or rice. I am having some issues With skim milk being used instead of Water with my Protein Shakes. I have this gurgling at the base of my throat and also in my sleeve stomach. The same thing happens with the Greek Yogurt too. Sometimes it feels like the stomach is contracting. Has anyone else had this.? I think I am not tolerating the addition of dairy back into my diet. Any thoughts , ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

At 4 months or so I was able to eat a "meal," but remember that what we used to consider a meal is very different now!

Now a meal is a few ounces of Protein and a couple of bites of veg. I might steal a couple of bites of salad off someone's plate, too, and maybe one or two bites of roll if there is one (rarely). After that I'm done. Can't eat a bit more. If I eat too much or too fast I have to take a walk for 30 minutes or I am too uncomfortable.

I'm almost 2 months out and had my first real meal out yesterday. I ordered the kids meal grilled salmon and steamed broccoli from Woodranch @ The Grove. That small portion was way too much food. I had it for lunch and dinner and still didn't finish all of it.

This restriction is real and great! :)

I think you can try unsweetened almond or coconut milk I don't like regular milk so I use alternates, hope this helps! :)

Geez! You are a trooper, I am being very careful on my portions and so far liquids are easy, I know that the portions will decrease drastically, in definitely looking forward to an actual chewable meal lol

I am aware and happy of the new restrictions, I am Just looking forward to not having to drink Protein Shakes, I really dislike them (all flavors) I can hopefully replace them soon, I'll have to check with my doctor :) and I Cannot wait to be able to at least get out of the liquid phase.

Oh...I guess I should have mentioned that I still have a Protein shake for Breakfast. :) Since I still can't eat much, I like to start the day off with 30 grams of Protein.< /p>

You are a trooper! Today I had a zip of a protein shake and started to gag!! :(

I did see my doctor this afternoon and he told me that next week when I start my purée phase to blend chicken or fish with my purée so I can get protein that way :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
