Well I tried soft scrambled eggs... Those came right back up :wacko:

Then I tried some soft cooked peas and carrots and gave me heartburn from hell....

Soooo..... I bought a creamy Peanut Butter Protein bar( the kind with no chunks of nuts or anything crunchy in it) and, as long as I chew it slowly, it has been the best way to get my protein in.

Hmm....only tip I have is make sure you have the foods you need for your diet afterwards. I actually found infant rice Cereal to be the most soothing thing to eat for the first week. Mix it with milk and you get a little protien. I'll be honest though...

The first two days after surgery it was absolutely excruciating just to swallow Water. I actually thought something was wrong but my doctor assured me it was just from all the swelling.

Make sure you have good post op pain drugs! :1312_thumbsup_tone3:

Most definitely! I've done all of my shopping. I can't even imagine how it's going to be or feel, but I'm still very very excited for long term effects. Even though I know it's going to be a lonnnng journey.

I found that Liptons chicken noodle Soup was soooo much better than just regular broth (I drained the noodles and my kids would eat them. Haha). It made me feel soooo full.

Update us when you feel up to it! Yay!

Well I'm 2 days after my surgery, and I honestly made my boyfriend eat a snickers so I could just smell it.[emoji23][emoji28] it's a little bit pathetic, but I'm so hungry. (Only mentally) does that go away after a while? My stomach is still full of gas and it just feels like someone is blowing bubbles inside of me, it's very uncomfortable. I'm still on Clear Liquids now, but what kind of foods can I eat when I'm allowed to eat food that has applesauce consistency?

I can totally relate! So I am just starting the pureed phase as of yesterday, and I found great recipes on Pinterest.

Ricotta Bake (pasta less lasagna)

Taco Bell has "pintos and cheese" which is about a 1/2 cup serving. I went and bought stuff to make that because I loved it so much!

There are awesome pinto bean and black mean puree recipes also on Pinterest. Oh! And crustless pizza!

      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
