@@irishaggie & @@edie091371 You guys are making me hungry!!! My doctor won't let me have soft food until after Wed when I see him ;-( Getting tired of the Protein Drinks & broth! I think when we leave the dr's office were heading for taco bell for the refried beans! Has anyone tried guacamole? & how soon to be able to eat?

Did your doctor give you a puree stage or do you go straight from liquids to soft foods? I'm in a week of puree (the pintos (mashed) and cheese count as puree) then start soft foods in Thursday. All the docs are so different!

Quick question - My puppy sleeps with us. I'm getting ready for my antimicrobial shower tonight and am wondering if that means my puppy shouldn't sleep with us tonight even though I take another antimicrobial shower in the morning before surgery. Any thoughts?

@@Miracle - Our puppy sleeps with us, but I still wanted to play it safe… My husband slept out in the living room on the couch with our dog and in the bed with he freshly laundered sheets :)

@Miracle. I wouldn't worry about it, but that's me. They told me at the hospital you have a chance of getting a whole lot more there than at home!

Thank you all! I was worried more about his feelings than any possible 'microbes' he would be sharing. Stands to reason, and after all the trials and tribulations it's better to be safe than sorry. But if he goes, so does the husband. (LOL)

@@irishaggie No puree foods just straight to the soft foods at 2 weeks for up to 3 months. Not much longer, 2 weeks will be here Thurs.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
