I am 8 days post-op and I can't have cottage cheese until October 20 and I can't have scrambled eggs until October 27. I'm not even to full liquids yet. (That starts on Saturday.)

Every plan is different though. I'd listen to your body and decide how to proceed from there (outside of the obvious of following your surgeon's plan...)

Good luck!

Well, nine days may be just a hair premature for your healing rate...listen to your body. Not everybody heals at the same speed. Have you been meeting your Protein goals? If not, that would contribute to slower healing of the wound on the stomach, and cause it to ache/hurt more when you fill it. So I think I might just cool it on the solids for 3-4 more days and then try again.

I'm 14 days post-op myself and I'm tolerating mushy foods pretty well now, I can eat 1/4 cup at meals with no real ill effects (except that the sensation of fullness comes on faster and is harder for me to feel coming, still). Also, when you try again, make sure you are chewing it until it's basically almost a liquid in your mouth before you swallow it. Will make it MUCH easier on your stomach, to work on it.

Don't mistake the rumbling for hunger, I've read that pretty much everybody gets that...it's not hunger. It can be a combination of acid in your stomach and gas. I actually get a lot of rumbling after I eat. The stomach is being retrained, since it's radically changed now. And also, you are probably going to have food on your mind for a little while, I know I did...it's a "mourning" process for your old lifestyle and eating habits, I think. About 4-5 days out, I was kind of obsessing about what I would like to eat. I also credit being on a liquid-only diet for so long with some of that :) But now that I can have some soft foods and I can actually chew again, those thoughts don't plague me so much anymore. I really don't feel anything like the traditional symptoms of "hunger" anymore. Hope it lasts a long time, it's super helpful with this low-calorie diet.

Had my sleeve on sept 28th....feel great... But just seems like I'm hungry a lot!!

      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.

      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! 😞
