Hi! How many days after my surgery should I be ok to try this? I'm at day 5 and am doing well with Jello & Atkins Protein Shakes.

first stage is Clear Liquids, next stage is full liquids, 3rd stage is soft foods. I would guess this is more of a soft food, but it would depend on if you were able to liquefy it. I am 8 days out and just started full liquids today

When you will be okay to try anything new is up to you, as no 2 people are exactly alike. My advice would be not to rush anything. The goal of bariatric surgery is not to see how soon you can start eating again. The idea is to completely change your habits. Thinking that there is something that you have to try is an old habit, even if that thing is completely fine for you to eat. You are 5 days out. Relax. Give it time.

Good advice. I'm just not eating enough Protein right now because I can't stomach 3 Protein Shakes a day, so was hoping I'd have more success if I tried to mix it up. Good to wait though.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
