Supposed to start "normal" foods this Thursday, but I didn't have anything ready for lunch so I had a rotisserie chicken thigh without the skin. Ate the whole thing, but I am stuffed. My stomach is handling well though. It is amazing. Before surgery I could eat half a chicken and still have room for potatoes, veggies and bread.

That's awesome! I can't wait to eat some real chicken. Have you tried anything else now that you're cleared?

Technically I am not cleared for regular food until this Thursday, but I have had some bites of things. I can have low fat cheese, so I have had some weight watchers string cheese with a couple of slices of deli turkey for a snack. I would love to have som fruit, but I don't think I could fit it in and still get all my Protein. I just can't eat enough yet to have both.

Getting the Protein in via food is so difficult especially in the pureed stage, can't wait for solids

What Multi-Vitamin is everyone taking? The one I've been taking, given to me by my nutritionist is a chewable that's chalky and nasty and I think I think to change. Thanks!

How are you guys able to eat raw vegetables so soon? My surgeon says no veggies for 6 months so I’m afraid to eat them. I LOVE asparagus and broccoli!!

Everything is so different! I am basically on no restrictions except salad and a lot of raw veggies and am 4 weeks out today.

I got a women's daily Gummy from costco bc I couldn't stand the chewables. I'll take the few grams of sugar in order to be able to get the Vitamins in !

I purchased the Bariatric Multivitamin with Iron from this site. I bought 12 months worth for $99, so that seemed like a deal and the vitamin/mineral amounts met the guidelines I was given by my surgery team. They are a capsule, but easy to swallow for me.

Wow!! My surgeon says “NO GUMMIES” and “NO RAW VEGGIES”!! No rice, no bread, no popcorn, basically no starch. Everything is so different with every surgeon.

Even veggies that are cooked until soft? Wed. will be 30 days for me and I begin regular food starting with soft Proteins and veggies.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
