Hi guys!

It's almost been a week! I'm doing great, keeping all my liquids down, and meeting my liquid and Protein goals. However, it feels like it takes me all day to do it! Ugh. I'm so over drinking, I can't wait to finally chew some food, lol. How's everyone doing? Any issues?

Hey I'm the next day, April 19th. I haven't been able to meet my Water and Protein goals but I am staying hydrated by sipping, eating Popsicles, Jello, andI'm about to try some applesauce right now.

I starting to think my inability to meet my goals is more psychological than anything. For example, I probably can drink more but I'm scared I'll mess something up.

I'm on day 7 tomorrow and that actually starts my pureed/soft foods phase. I look forward to trying a mashed ripe banana and I might even try some watery oatmeal or scrambled eggs. I'm taking it slow!

When does your pureed/soft food phase begin?

if you are post-op the soft food stage starts 2 weeks out or after your first post-op appt with your surgeon. I didn't do the pre-op liquid, my surgeon didn't require me to, or he failed to tell me. But I now know it is a must as I suffered complications, an infected incision, because I ate the night before. It is not worth it. If you are pre-op, it is very important to be on that liquid diet.

Mine was April 18th as well. Tomorrow I start my full liquids. I've only lost 2 pounds but I'm hoping it's because I've been swollen and such. I've been meeting my goals but like you, I'm so tired of liquids ????

I can't wait to try scrambled eggs!

You really need to push yourself to meet your Water and Protein goals. For the simple fact that you don't want to run into any dehydration issues, I've heard horror stories about that. That's what keeps me sipping all day, I'm totally scared of dehydration. Good luck :-)

Actually my soft food phase/pureed foods start 7 days post-op, I have my nutritional bible to prove it...lol... and the meeting with my NUT a couple of days before surgery

I actually gained 7 lbs because of swelling and IV fluids. I was so annoyed, but it's been coming off daily. Don't get discouraged, we're gonna rock this!!! Going into this surgery, we all knew it would be very difficult, but I have no doubts that we can accomplish our weight loss goals! Good luck with everything! Reach out if you need to! :-)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
