The liquid diet was easier on pre-op. It's hard on full liquids on post op. I'm on day six. I had to have food. It was only scrambled eggs with cheese. My stomach is happy. It sent the full signal. I had three teaspoons. I will not go overboard

TRY TO AVOID SOLID FOODS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A LEAK

WHATEVER YOU EAT WILL NOT BE WORTH IT IF YOU CAUSE A LEAK.

IT WAS HARD FOR ME TOO AFTER THE SURGERY, BUT YOU CAN DO IT

I feel u! But....be careful!

I found out alotta my belly rumbling for hunger was gas. I tried 2eat solids...thought i could till i puked...NOT a good feeling!

I started making those Green smoothies (spinach, kale, mustard greens plus frozen pineapple &berries &lemon juice 2hide the taste) and now I get FULL!

Try that. I got tired of Protein powdered meals too....im 3wks post op. I feel ur pain. Discovered the green smoothies work abt 10days out &it has really helped. ????

And not just green....other homemade smoothies are good too...but that green really fills &stops that hunger with really low carb &the greens have "some" Protein. Also found some stuff at Walmart called "Live fit vegan Protein powder" in the baking isle. I tried that in Tomato Soup (eww...too thick) so 2day imma try it in a smoothie....see if thats better.

Advancing your food stages isn't a good idea, but do you.

Advance my diet because the nurse and nut told me to purée in a week. I am officially 1week out

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
