I lost 24 pounds on that pre-op diet and shrunk my liver so they could do the surgery. I am amazed at the enormous differences from hospital to hospital on what diets should be. I never did pureed foods.

It is a great journey! I am 6 months post op and lost 80 pounds so far. I have more energy than before. Make sure you walk as much as possible after surgery to help with the gas pains. Warm liquids helps it to pass too. You will feel hungry post but make sure you have some broth it will help curb that hunger. If Protein shakes make you ill you might be lactose intolerant, it happens post surgery. Stick to your meal plans and follow with the NUT regularly. Chew slow and carefully because it will hurt if it gets stuck. Do not drink while eating it will re-expand your stomach and that will hurt. Good luck and feel good soon

I can understand. Winter will be brutal for me too trying to figure it all out. One last thing do not be surprised if your tastes change. Mine did. Things i liked before not so much now. After 44 years i now prefer the taste of coffee and i never liked coffee before. I liked ham and cheese nope cannot stand it. So do not be surprised.

I've heard that a lot as long as it don't change with my veggies I love Brussels sprouts I sometimes just eat them as a meal they r my absolute favorite lol but I can handle not liking things it might make things easier I'm sure. I am not alllowed to have caffeinated coffee after surgery but never been a coffee drinker can't have alcohol but not a drinker either can't smoke but not a smoker anymore had to quit to be considered for the surgery so I quit 7 months ago when I started my classes ect. I have lost 26 lbs so far just following advise of the nutritionist. Hoping time flies. I'm ready lol

sugar free popcicles were and still are a way to curb thirst and stay cool and stay within guidelines. Also about all you can eat at a time most of the time. 6 months out and I have lost 53 pounds just 20 pounds short of the "healthy weight" goal. I was 35 Bmi when I started. Off my Pre diabetes meds, blood pressure meds and allergy meds. I'm now 26 bmi .
