Girly, when I woke up this morning I finally had a sense of accomplishment. I didn't feel so lost and adrift. I am so happy to begin working with my own body to get to live a full life again! Sheesh, it was really getting to me! Thanks so much for all your support. I appreciate it so much.

I totally understand because I felt the exact same way as you, you're going to do great!! message me or inbox me anytime, I'm just about 2.5 months out so I'm still new to the process and learning my body too, we can help and encourage each other 😉

Ok so I am officially on pureed foods as of today. I was burned out on creamed Soups for sure and the one lil cheat I had when I nibbled a cookie Saturday showed me that sugar tastes like crap now... so lesson learned.

So today I had....2oz of cottage cheese which was quite tasty and I wanted to eat more but nothing else was fitting in my new tummy. Then I had a scrambled egg with cheese on it, was right at 2oz there too and even yummier than the cottage cheese. And then I had spiced up tuna and mayo. The clouds parted and the angels sang! My tummy and mouth are happier than they have been in soooooo long.

Heh, who knew tuna with mayo was so good.

Tuna with mayo was the very first "real" food I had after the liquid/puree stage. I got one morsel into my mouth and started sobbing. My husband thought I was in pain but I just couldn't wrap my head around how magical it was to taste something flavorful that I could chew.

Hee hee, yes! You totally understand the nirvana that happened in my mouth at that moment! It was amazing!

Yes! The ricotta bake is soooooo good! I have done egg salad and refried Beans with cheddar and sour cream and chili (bean not meat) pureed and it's just made a world of difference in how I feel emotionally even.

@FlyAwayFree iv done egg slad too but still have a hard time with refried Beans :( wish i could eat them bc it tastes so good.

I put a small dollop of sour cream in them and it helped to thin them enough that they weren't hard to get down for me. But I seem to be doing super well with things physically now so I hope you are able to have the same luck soon!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
