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!!!

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 :P .

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.

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 :( .

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
