One week post op breakfast:

[kirsten_ 3]

I can honestly say I'm feeling great. The pain as subsided as of yesterday. Sure there's some discomfort, but going into this I was aware of that. I'm down 20.6 pounds since my pre op diet and I'm beginning to feel more like me.

I look forward to sharing this journey with everyone!

Stats:

Pre op: 274

Post op: 254.6 (and counting )

Hope that shake right next to that cottage cheese doesn't mean you are eating and drinking at the same time.

Glad you are dealing better with the discomfort. It really does get easier day by day. I really turned a corner in the feeling like myself department around 2 weeks post-op.

Clearly I waited the 30 minutes. Also I was only able to stomach about 2 oz of the cottage cheese.

But yeah, as you said it gets better day by day.

I cannot wait for cottage cheese....I'm jealous of all of you that can have pureed/soft foods early on!

I'm 11 days out and still in full liquids for another 10 days, then pureed.

Were you told to eat more than 2 oz. at a time? My nutritionist had me weigh out 2 oz. in the early weeks. I agree with @@camry2016 that you are lucky to be on cottage cheese so early! But every plan is different so we all just have to follow the plans we were given. The fact you can do 2 oz. of cottage cheese already is awesome! Seems like your recovery is going really well!

The more I read I see how different everyone's diets are! But as long as we are making progress that's all that matters. I just went to my post op doctors appointment and I lost 2 pounds over night. It's crazy!

Yeah, I've read about people on purees while still in the hospital. Meanwhile I think I wasn't on purees until like day 17? Every surgeon has their own plan for sure!

I start pured foods on day 8...which will be Thursday. I'm a little nervous about actually swallowing anything more than liquids!
