Day 19 post op Duodenal Switch ,gall bladder removal, and hiatal hernia repair

Day 19 Post Op, feeling better , losing weight everyday about 1-2 lbs a day it varies sometimes only 1 pound a day. im down about 35 lbs so far :)

I went to my soft foods class yesterday! Yay! I will be able to start eating softer foods but honestly i have no appetite at all. I am trying to get my protein as much as I can and stay hydrated as well. my tummy is still tender but no pain really. I am taking it easy. My surgeon says I am not cleared to do any long road trips yet. boo!

But I am now starting my bariatric vitamins. Got all those yesterday too. :) got some protein wafers too. yum.

Anyone on soft food stage? and if you are , what are you eating?

Hey Glamgirl! This is my first post since surgery on April 18th and I feel like I got run over by a truck. I hope that's normal! I'm exhausted and getting enough liquids is a challenge for sure, especially since I have the dreaded "D" (diarrhea). I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well! I keep telling myself it will get better!!

At least if you got run over by a truck, it wasn't a Good Truck and they didn't leave complimentary samples. Samples at the grocery were often my downfall, all I had to do was taste something and I loaded a 5 pound bag of it in the grocery cart. Made my wallet thinner and me fatter.? Hopefully I have reformed but it can be a struggle. Day by Day, baby, Day by Day!?

oh wow how did your surgery go? I know it does feel like we got ran over by a truck for sure!!! It's A LOT! im at day 21 and now I cant seem to get any food down even though I start soft foods today. its like I don't want anything. I am going to try and now I gotta start the vitamins so im hoping i feel better and get some energy once they get into my system. The liquids are very hard to get down... so yeah thats normal... I am just now getting mine down comfortably... well water only.
