Didn't you just have your surgery? How are you doing? I have been asking that a lot since I've been on my pre-op liquids. Seems to me it's a little bit out :(

Hey you and no they moved my surgery to Monday April 14th I'm on day 8 of liquid diet

We are the same day :) I have emailed a lot of patients that have had the surgery with my doctor and I am amazed at their results. Unfortunately they are all more than 8 months out, but they are all easily eating regular food. I am just looking forward to pureed foods or cream soups...something I can't see through. hahaha

Around 4 months is likely when you'll have your first sorta-kinda normal meal LOL. A couple ounces of chicken and three bites of veg. :D

It gets better every day.

I'm 8 days post-op, and I ask that question every dayI just don't do clear liquids, unless they have something in them that's good. Pureed food, is just awful, but I keep telling myself, it's not the end of the world. My husband made a big steak tonight, I actually bought it for him, because I felt so bad that his eating habits ( he's small framed) have been cut, because I'm not cooking, and it's just him, and I. OMG child when I smelt that steak , had to put the Vicks up my nose, and sucked down (sipped, slowly) a disgusting protein shke. Haha. Well I'm full now, and he enjoyed his steak, the dog's under the table enjoying the bone, and I just feel like shit, haha.. Hope all goes well for you. I love reading your posts cupcake. Bless you sweetheart on your journey! :unsure:

Hey Kelly. So how was it right after surgery how did u feel and how r u doing now? I laughed bout ur hubby and the steak because I have a strict rule since our daughter and myself can't eat from being on this liquid diet then no eating cooking or bringing foods in this house until this part is over. My husband and son are about to lose their minds as they LITTERALLY eaten out everyday since we started. I know it sounds harsh but the temptation or to only be able to drink liquids while the others are chomping down on regular food is just too much to ask. Lol. Monday will not come fast enough

Hang in the curvy!!! It won't be too long and all this will be a far and distant memory and you and your daughter will be laughing and saying " remember the time we thought we could never eat again" and you will laugh and laugh and CHEW!!! All in your new skinny clothes :) and then u will take a hot selfie and post it here :)

This is true lol. Lmbo

Where has the time gone? Almost 5 months post sleeve, and I have had my perfect dinner I wanted to share. A small saucer, about 1/2 cup of tossed salad, and about 1/2 cup of my fabulous chicken salad, eaten and savored very slowly. Yum! This is the new norm. Before you know it, you will be here. Hang in there! This is going to be the best summer, small meals, hardly any cooking, just relaxing by the pool.

I've been posting pics on Instagram of my meals at 6 months out. Feel free to search for me..I'm gomekast on there. A close up of my eyes are my profile pic and my settings are open so you're able to follow without my approval.
