I'm a week out, had surgery on 9/30. I'm reading a lot of posts and I feel like my diet is different then a lot on here. I feel like I'm not doing this right. I'm depressed, I'm tired, I'm sore and so confused. I do however find relief in most the posts, so thank you...

You'll do great it's a big adjustment . I had mine the day before you . I'm pretty sure all the doctors seem to do a different eating plan but I'm sure they all know what they are doing. Just follow your plan . I'm so tired too but it won't last long. I'm very hopeful and happy . I wish you well !

I completely understand @@LykaCory ... my surgery was 9/29 and yesterday I felt like I'd been hit by a train. I could barely get out of bed, I was crabby, one of my incisions is killing me and I'm sick of not eating and sick of feeling sick. Today was a little better - hopefully tomorrow will be better for you! What is on your diet? I am on full liquids but think that I'm struggling in part because my calories are still so low. Hang in there - tomorrow is a new day!!

My surgery was also on 9/30 and I feel the same. I had a break down today and just cried and cried and then crying made my stomach hurt more. That is when I downloaded this app to try and find some kind of comfort. What is your diet plan right now?

Oh okay, I would die for some mash, or oatmeal. They told me not to do those until 3 weeks post op. Right now they said to do sugarfree Popsicles, sugar free pudding, sugarfree Jello, Protein drinks of course, fat free yogurt, cottage cheese, diluted juices, fat free refried Beans, and egg whites. Maybe you can add one of these to give you more of a variety. I do 1oz-2oz every two hours. I don't know how to explain it but my body feels like it just needs really food you know.

The first few weeks after surgery can be really tough. Physically thr body is healing from major surgery. Emotionally a person is dealing with ramifications of the surgery and new frustrations. I don't know if it happens for everyone but I also dealt with the hormone dump for a little while after surgery. Drove me crazy!

It does get easier. Easier to get in the fluids and Protein. Easier to deal with the changes. All the best!

Always, always do what your program dictates. They are the ones taking care of you, and are familiar with your individual case. There are SOOOO many different plans. The only one you need to follow is yours. It's dangerous to make changes based on someone else's plan. Trust your doctor and you'll be okay. Best wishes to you!

I had my surgery on 9/26, my Dr does baby steps, first wee hydration I felt really tired so I started on protien shake, at 2oz at a time and fat free milk, helped get my strength

Second soft, start whip yogurt, pudding, next week will be starting to introduce mushy food, protien, and veggies blended. srcrambled eggs, . Every program is different, so I think it is what you can tolerate.

Good luck on your new you

      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...

      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
