First post. I’m having surgery Monday 3/26. Just wondering what you all consumed when you returned home? I’d like to buy some of it beforehand.

It depends on your Surgeon's program. Most follow this program:

Week 1: Clear Liquids (Water, broth, sugar-free, Gatorade or Vitamin Water, Protein Shakes)

Week 2: Protein Shakes (Jello, Broth)

Week 3: pureed Foods (Us can mix in Protein Powder with Jello and broth)

Week 4: Soft Foods (Scrambled eggs, chicken soaked in broth)

Week 5: Foods (You start testing foods to see what will sit well with you and will not)

For 10 days I have a clear liquid diet- broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicle, Protein Shake (2 oz - 4 times a day). I also can have juice (100% real juice no sugar added) diluted half with Water. That is one of my favorites- 1/8 c cranberry juice 1/8 c water. No more than a half a cup of liquids each meal.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
