I'm 2 weeks post op now and moved to purée foods. Let me tell you all- keep plugging with the full liquids- Clear Liquids until it is time. You will SO APPRECIATE the added flavors! It's like learning foods again! I've spent the day getting very creative with my 1/2 allowance of foods and it's been fun. But stick to it- your new tummy will thank you. Good luck! Btw. My schedule was day 1-5 clear liquids AND Protein Shakes. Day 6-14 full liquids. 15-30 purée and very soft foods.

I am on day 15 and starting puree foods. I was on full liquids from day 4-14. I usually wake up with nausea when I have it. Looking forward to adding a new food a day, per my surgeon . Has the gastric bypass, down 25#!!

I had mine March 17th. I'm on mushy foods. Spicy stuff irritates my stomach.. and I love spicy foods.. I'm not have many issues other than a lot of gas pain and heartburn. I have heartburn sometimes when I wake up in the morning..

I was on clears for 2 weeks then put on them for an additional week because I was not doing too well post op - mainly just feeling lousy and very emotional. They did allow me to take clear liquid Protein so my body wouldn't freak out too much and think it was completely starving for 3 weeks and start to shut down :)

My saving grace was Isopure ready to drink. By itself it's awful! I made a mixture of mine that included 8oz of Isopure (about 1/3 bottle), 8oz same color Powerade Zero (about 1/3 bottle) and 8oz of Water. It didn't taste bad at all and gave me over 10g of Protein in each bottle that I drank. I would drink 3 of those mixtures daily and had 40g of protein in a day plus 48 oz of water/liquid. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

I am so sorry. It's crazy how much treatments can vary between doctors. I was on clear liquids for 3 days. The first day before surgery and the 2 after. I have been on full liquids since. My doctors let you start purée at days 10 post op. I'm not sure what weight loss looks like for you all but I am 7 days tomorrow and at 12lbs today at my check up. I can't imagine what you are going through.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
