Way to early for food -you look at your plan and let you body decide when you are ready - For now i would suggest pureed and I mean really pureed foods - Broths with pureed stuff in them=

My savor at that state was broth with just a tad of lintels and pureed - Broth will fill you up fast but does go away fast also - slowly you will work your way to adding Proteins. I must have made 100 egg drop Soup pureed to get thru the first couple weeks

Mind of matter.

I am on a full liquid diet as of the 16th. Yesterday was the first day I real wanted real food. However, I am pushing forward by blending foods like "chinese chicken vegetable soup."

Also "egg drop Soup and wonton soup." What is also helping keeping a journal and walking my puppy. This is my second chance. I refuse to give up on my health.

My doctor gives patients clearance to begin transitioning to soft foods by day 4 if they feel comfortable with it. I was trying a multitude of soft foods within a week of surgery - eggs, cottage cheese, Soups, etc.

I’m on third week and basically still on Protein Drinks, and one item of food a day...which is a vegan meatball, spoon full of avocado, and i’ve had egg drop Soup. Being greedy and lack of good choices got me here. I’m blessed to have this second chance of life pain free compared to before. Each bite is a healthier me being born again. I’m going to be pretty picky, with each bite. Each time I write that, is another reminder.

It’s just a lot for me to handle tbh, I had to have the surgery so I can lose weight for my hysterectomy due to my cancer and I feel like I have no control of anything I’m really hungry now and all I want is some kind of food I tried baby food today but it made me completely nauseated and sick but I didn’t put into consideration that it’s not sugar free I guess that’s my mess up I’m so at a loss of what I should and shouldn’t be eating and my drs are no help

It definitely sounds like you have a lot on your plate. There is a dumping syndrome with sugar, so yes, check labels. Did your nut give you a menu guide to follow for the first month or two?

      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! 😞

      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.
