So I'm 5 days post op and feeling ok, a bit sore around incisions a really bad wind pain but other than that I'm not bad.

I'm struggling to stick to the liquid diet and have had a few puréed/ sloppy foods, only small bits to test the waters and they seem to have gone down fine, I only have 2 small mouthfuls then I'm full but will I have done any damage? The thought of looking at another Soup or shake fills me with dread.

Anyone else had similar problems?

Do you think I'd be ok to continue?

after surgery, the inside is healing..testing waters is and could be dangerous. why chance it just after having WLS?? please dont.

immediately get back to the liquid and then soft phases as your doctor advised for best results and continue to follow their instructions.

and i dont mean to sound mean/nasty, but what would your doctor say if you asked him/her? i bet they'd say what i just wrote...call and ask them

hang in there

you only just begun

@@CarolinaGirl you're so right! What am I doing? I waited years for this opportunity and now that I have it im just leading myself down the wrong path, it's hard to break a habit of a lifetime but I need to try it or I'll just stay fat and miserable forever.

Thank you for replying <3

Agreed...5 days is nothing, or 30 days, compared to something you will have for the rest of your life....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
