And i've stayed on the same weight on the scale for like a week now :(

i can finish a protein shake in maybe 3 hours? but i try to just sip on it to get my protein intake up. liquids have been easy for me. i also haven’t seen a change in the scale for the past week. i think i hit that “3 week stall” people mention

Having surgery Thursday. Can't wait.

My stomach did fine with bananas. My palate did not. I used to love bananas, but they taste very strange now.

You all, I had surgery a week ago- and it was really rough at first. Still trying to figure everything and my new stomach out. What does everyone’s post op diet look like? I am on the puréed stage day after surgery. Which is still a little weird Bc apparently you can put anything in the blender and purée it and the. Eat it? (Except like tough meat, unhealthy food, ect)
So can you not purée food in your mouth if you chew it like a million times?
Also- what happens if you do eat a solid food? Like what does it do to your stomach?
Need to know why so I don’t do it!!

Hope everyone is healing well and feeling better!

Lucky you. I just realized I still have another week of liquids. Excited about all the things I plan to make for the purée stage. If you eat something solid you could potentially cut open your incision where your stomach was stapled back together. Which could cause complications.

I have a question. I had the bypass surgery on 7/26/18. I have been so tired almost everyday since my surgery. I do not wake up tired but usually after I have been up for 5-6 hours I get really grouchy and tired. My hubby thinks I’m just “Hangry” since I can’t eat whatever I want. Maybe that’s part of it too but I do find myself tired a lot.

Me too! How are you doing? I'm trying to figure out eating again. What are you eating?

I'm not able to start walking or exercise right now because I had my big incision get a slight infection and it has a seroma and is still weeping fluid.
