I had my surgery on 3-28 and I am already on the puréed phase 3. And I have no gas pain or anything. Thank God. Still a little sore but that's to be expected. I just get full after 4 or 5 bites. I am struggling to get my fluids in. Just get to full.

Had my surgery 3/29 as well. My surgeon has me on Clear Liquids for 10 days, full liquids would start tomorrow [Fri 7th] but I started today. I had to have something else. I woke up this morning and was just dragging my feet, like it actually took effort for me to pick my feet up as I walked instead of shuffle around. Full liquids is 10 days, soft/blended is minimum of 10 days and once I tolerate everything well in that phase then I can move on to the next. I haven't had any problems getting liquids down. Even managed about 100 oz on two separate days [no joke]. I tried an Atkin's shake today w/ 1/2 tablespoon GENEPRO added to up the Protein from 15g to 30g and it went down smooth... and stayed there. I will say I can only have 2 oz of the Protein Shake before I'm done, I may even decrease it to one ounce because I get full. So I've definitely had a harder time getting my Water in with the protein shake today. I plan on putting myself on a schedule to help. I'll see how it goes.

I'm 10-day post op and still on a all clear liquid diet, me and Isopure are best friends. I'm getting tired of the chicken broth. I'm also going to invest sugar free Popsicles!!! Do they make anything other than the chicken, beef, or vegetable broth? ??

I made a mushroom beef broth that was darn tasty (dried mushrooms soaked in hot beef broth and left for a few hours. Remove mushrooms)

I was Sleeved 8th March 2016.

Clear Liquids first 2 days in hospital, then full liquids in increasing amounts for 14 days.

Found out 10-14 days post op, that very acidic juices such as Tomato and V8 gave me nasty Acid Reflux. Even on my PPI. Had to give that up, even though I loved tomato juice.

My program changes every 2 weeks.

Towards the end of the liquid phase, I was really getting bored with it, but persevered.

Purees were heaven for a while, then had enough of "baby food" also, but persevered.

On Soft food now for 2 weeks. Really learning to eat very slowly, as I get reflux if I eat too fast.

I was always a slow eater, but now I am experiencing hunger pangs, hence need to be mindful of eating my mushies slowly.

Wishing everyone a great Recovery :)

The two week clear liquid diet is rough, but you will fight through it like I'm doing. Just stay head strong and keep busy and it will fly bye!!

      April Surgery

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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
