Awesome!! So glad your surgery went well. I do have a print out for stage 3, I'll see if I can figure out a way to send it to you.

Happy you did well on surgery!! I'm 6 mo post op and doing great....100# Down. Dr. Cronk was my Dr as well. I had problems with refried Beans or any Beans during that phase so I would recommend trying a little slowly and see how your stomach and digestive system handles them. They can be a bit much at first.

How much time off work did your surgeons recommend? Mine says two to five weeks which I find a bit vague.

I needed the full five but Im a slow healer. I had a lot of muscle pain around my stomach area and had a hard time learning initially how to keep foods down. Glad I stayed home as long as I did.

I only took 1 1/2 weeks off of work, I have a desk job. I wish I would have taken just a couple more days and made it a full 2 weeks. I'm a little tired, but really having no issues being back at work.

I tried a spoonful of cottage cheese this morning and it sat really well, no issues. Think I'll try scrambled eggs for dinner.

Had my first follow up today, a few days shy of 3 weeks. Dr. Cronk was happy with my progress and said I'm right on target. Saw the Nutritionist as well. I was shocked to see that Phase 3 foods lasts for FOUR WEEKS :-( I was totally expecting 2 weeks like the full liquid diet. Oh well, gotta suck it up buttercup.

I must say I really like Dr. Cronk and his office, but I am just not a fan of either of his nutritionists..

I took one week off. I sit at a desk all day, so there wasn't really any need for me to take additional time off.

I'm right there with you. I love Dr. Cronk, but the nutritionists were brusk, dismissive, and didn't listen to any of my concerns. I just had my 3 month follow up this morning and am FINALLY restriction free. So, don't expect to go back to normal eating until 3 months after surgery.

I have only met with one of his nutritionist and I was not a fan of her either. Glad to hear you guys are doing good! My surgery is Friday with Dr. Cronk.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
