Today I am one week post op!!!! I feel great. I went back to work yesterday and that has been fine. My doctor released me to a full diet. Of course healthy diet but I don't have to do stages. Thank God!!! I really thought the recovery was gonna be so much harder. I know we all recover differently. I love being able to notice the changes already. When I would do a fad diet I never saw a change. I am so excited for this new life!!!

Congratulations and welcome to the loser's bench! Glad you healed so quickly with no complications.

A week and half post-op. Go to see my surgeon in the morning. I've done really well other than some constipation issues. I am getting my protien in every day in 2 shakes, but can't hold much more than that. I am on the soft diet stage 2 since Sunday, but can't get much down. No pain, just not much room. A couple of bites is all. If I weren't drinking my protein I'd never get it in. I guess I will end up going through the stages like most sleevers.

If you don't have to go through the stages what are you currently eating?

I am eating whatever I want. By that I mean healthy. I was on clears for one week and then moved to regular food. I had tune for lunch and chilli for dinner. My doctor feels you will know what you can handle. His feeling is "God gave you teeth for a reason." Today for Breakfast I had a slice of ham, for lunch I will finish the tune from yesterday and for dinner I will be having taco flavored chicken.

Congratulations! You are LUCKY, I'm still on pureed foods. Hopefully only until next week. What I wouldn't give to be able to chew a meal. I guess it doesn't matter since I haven't been able to tolerate anything but liquids this week. Yummmm, taco flavored chicken .

My doc just released me to advance my pureed as I want toward regular food. Said I should be on a normal healthy diet by V-day!!! Said he was very happy with my progress! Yay!! ♥

Oh I wish I could eat whatever I want! I'm 3 weeks post op and got moved back to full liquids. Was vomiting up my mushes except for mashed potatoes. Boo for being back on protein shakes! My nut wants me to try isopure to help get my fluids and protein in. I'm currently in the hospital waiting to be released.

So sorry your having a hard time. Just take your time and when your body is ready you will know. Good luck!!

Amanda we have something in common I am three weeks out too. I just left my doctor because I was vomiting for the last three days and I was put back on liquids too. Liquids for one week, then she said I could try pureed the following week. Then based on my next appointment if I am better (on the 12th) I can move to soft foods slowly. She gave me a prescription for nausea. If that doesn’t help I may have to go in for another Endoscopy. I hope you feel better soon. I feel your pain .

Oh no!! I am so sorry you are both having trouble. Hang in there! It will get better in time. You are both in my prayers!

I am in day 4 of my 2 week pre op diet. I am struggling and actually slipped up today and ate a peanut butter sandwich. Do u have any suggestions for things I can eat that will help me feel full or satisfied?

Greek yogurt, tossed salad with little or no dressing (I used pureeed strawberries), a boiled egg, a few bites of fruit, peanut butter on a spoon..... not on bread.

Thank you. I wasn't sure how much fruit I can have cuz it's loaded with sugar.
