Hello is there any people on here for real.... or is this just all old stuff

I had mine 6-30-2015. Feeling pretty good and happy with my decision.

I had my surgery on 6/29/2015. Surprisingly, sticking to everything suggested and it all agreeing with me well. Feel great down 17lbs. So happy with my decision! How's are you doing?

I had my procedure done on 06-29-15

hi, had my surgery the same date! How are you doing?

@@jewels711 I am doing great... I haven't had any issues... And going forward I hope I don't have any. So far all the foods that I have eaten cooperated. I am sometimes find that my mouth is really dry, but I consume more fluids. How are you doing? Which procedure did you have?

My surgery was May 22, 2015

@@RobynS01 how do you feel?

Way to go!

I'm not to bad, however at least once a day I get nauseous. I'm starting to wonder if it's a gallbladder issue?? I'm down 42 lbs in 7 weeks.

@@IamKe69 I'm doing great too! Surprisingly...I thought this was going to be much harder. Heard a few stories. But was willing to take the chance. I had bypass RNY. All my incisions are completely healed no scabbing, all skin. Went in my pool first time yesterday. Felt great! All foods I have tried have worked great with me. Having a difficult time finding a tasty protein drink. But getting it down. Water too. Dry mouth also here once in a while. Drink more. I started infusing fruit to my water for some flavor. Cucumber is great! What surgery did you have?

@@jewels711 I had RNY procedure. I didn't think of the infused Water, but I will try that to see how it goes. It's not dry all the time, but when it is I feel like I need a whole gallon of water. I am glad that you are doing well. I'm two weeks post-op today. I also get to start on my soft diet today. Any suggestions on foods?

At first I had mixed emotions about it, but I know I made a great decision to better my life.

So did you already go thru mushed foods or were you still on liquids? I started mushy stuff last Tuesday, 8 days out of surgery. I've been eating, tuna w/lite mayo, egg salad, yogurt, cottage cheese, I had some tilapia, and yesterday my husband sauteed me shrimp w/ pineapple and cauliflower. All going down good. No pressure. Definitely chewing a lot to make sure everything goes down. I also have blackberries and blueberries. I tried cantelope but got gassy. Try that again later.

I finished the puréed portion of the diet. I'm now on soft foods. I haven't had any fruits yet. Although I do plan to have a smoothie this week. I really haven't had any meats either. I had bake beans with a little bit of chicken, but it wasn't much. I also have been eating mash potatoes.

My doc didn't have me go on pureed. But of course I'm still making sure the soft foods I eat are still pretty mushy. I got tired of cold foods that's why I started the fish and shrimp. Needed to feel normal. My family cooks out and does sausage and hamburgers on the grill every Sunday and we swim. I had to figure out things I can pop on the grill so I feel normal and still enjoy the grilled taste. That's where once sauteed my husband put the shrimp cauliflower and pineapple. They were great and soft enough. I'm glad he is a chef. Helps make my foods more tasty instead of bland. Makes eating healthier easier!

Do you still drink your protein shakes? If so what kind do you drink?

I do still drink the protein drinks but like I said they sure don't go down well! I was drinking whey protein, and I could barely get it down. Found a new one that's premade. Called Coco plus protein 80 cal and 20 mg protein per drink. Flavors in vanilla and chocolate. This one goes down much better. I get these at the rancho market.
