I have a question for those of you more than a couple months post op. My hubby and I are going on a little vacation to New Orleans in November. I will be 5 1/2 weeks out. Can you all tell me what my diet will be around then? I know everyone is different and I plan on making smart meal choices, but I was just wondering if I will be able to eat regular food, not mashed or pureed? Thanks!

I live in New Orleans. I won't lie -- food and drink is a major part of the city, and is what most tourists are really attracted to, but our music and cultural scenes are pretty awesome, too.

Have a good trip!

I wasn't off puréed food until my 6 week appointment. Even after that it was a soft food diet for another 6 weeks.

I'm 9 weeks out and have been going out with friends and my DH for about a month. I bring along a powdered Soup and get hot Water. Then I pay for an extra plate and usually take a little bit from my DH plate.

I'm still only eating about 3-4 ounces so if I do order my own meal I take most of it home and have leftovers for a few days.

You are the first person I have come across on here whose plan sounds more conservative than mine! :-)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
