Thursday it will be 2 weeks since my revision surgery on August 12, from RNY to Duodenal Switch. It was a 5 1/2 hour surgery, a little rough but my surgeon was able to do what needed to be done. I was in the hospital for 4 nights. So far since i've been home the only issue i've had with the surgery is one of my incisions started draining quite a bit. I went to the doctor to have that taken care of. It wasn't infected but to be cautious, i'm on antibiotics and gauzed up. I see the doctor again on Thursday. Mostly all pain is gone. I'm now on pureed foods. That is going a little tougher than i thought as far as what to eat. I'm eating slow but this morning i did throw up my Breakfast. i don't know if it was just stuck or maybe the puree was too thick so i need to be more careful. I also see my nutritionist on Thursday, i know she will have good advice. I'm getting in my Protein pretty good each day and really working in my Vitamins now too. I will update after my Thursday appt. Also, does anyone have some puree recipes? Thank you!

When I was on the puree stage after my gastric bypass, I would grind Soups in a bullet blender with some extra chicken. At that stage I could stand about 4 ounces of liquid. Progreso has some canned soups that are tasty.

Another thing I did is to grind Entrees like chicken curry or chicken marsala, then thin the sauce down with chicken broth to the consistency of a thick Soup.

You'll be moving on to soft foods soon enough.

Thank you Dave.... i just started pureeing Soups which is working well. I never thought of trying Entrees. Great idea!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
