I wanted to have a thread for the several of us with the same surgery date. How are you all doing? We are about 10 days out. I've lost about 20 lbs, but the vast majority was from the liquid diet Pre-surgery. I have a few more liquid diet days and then have 2 weeks blender food starting Friday. I feel pretty good. Still tired a bit and my stomach still is black and blue and a little swollen. Other than that I'm fine. How are you guys?

On my plan I can have Soup or V8. Yesterday I blended a can of Progresso Wedding soup. Wired color but not bad at all. Satisfied the savory craving and totally allowable. I can only get a third down anyway....

Was it low sodium? First 2 weeks my NUT said lower sodium soup is ok didnt think of something blended :)

It wasn't. There is really no mention about low sodium in the instructions I got. I know everyone has there own issues, but since we are having so little at a time, I imagine the sodium is also a smaller portion. Good luck!!

Hi everyone, wanted to check in again. I'm feeling much better. Tomorrow is 2 weeks. My only weird thing is that I'm losing no weight! I lost about 20 lbs on the Pre-surg liquid diet and I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing since then. Everyone says to be patient, but not even a lb. frustrating. Are you all dropping the lbs?

Remember ur not moving that much and ur healing plus they load you up with air/gas. You wont drop much in first 2 weeks so dont be alarmed i only dropped a few myself and todays 2 weeks as well. As long as you are feeling good. Then u can start adding the gym and im sure it will come off.

Well here is another update. Moving a lot now. Still no weight loss. I'm concerned my metabolism has met my 600 calorie per day intake. I'm hoping it's just an endless plateau, but it feels so unfair. I have not cheated. I'm exactly doing what I'm supposed to. Back to work on Monday. I hope you all are doing better.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
