Luckily my doctor allowed me to do soft foods 3 days post op for two weeks. I’m on solids and can eat anything and gulp Water like a fish. But I’m hungry.

I done that tonight. 😊 My child left the crust from his pizza and ... I chewed it and spit it out lol. Thank god I'm not the only one 👍


I tried this yesterday and today. Yesterday I chewed up a chicken wing and was ok. Today I got greedy and tried it with a cinnamon crunch bagel. Now I’m super bloated and gassy.
It took some mind control for me to spit it out too. Muscle memory had me swallowing a couple of bites when I was distracted. So I’ll steer away from breads for an extended period. Learned my lesson real good.

Has anyone found that drinking Decaf coffee makes them bloated/gassy?

I'm not due to start pureed foods until Sunday, but couldn't face any more shakes. I had one scrambled egg yest (Wednesday) and today I'm having pureed veg with gravy. Anyone else started the puree stage a bit sooner, how are you getting on?

My doctor skips pureee and goes straight to sift foods. I started soft foods day five after surgery and I’m quite fine. Now three weeks out

I started puréed at the one week mark. So many doctors require different things. I followed my friends plan (i was allowed to start puréed on week 2 for me). I lost so much weight (not healthily) bc I couldn’t drink anything anymore I wanted to chew so I preferred not to eat and was starving. Nothing has felt bad so that’s good. I was on yogurt and stuff when I got home from hospital. My follow up is tomorrow so hopefully all is well.

listen to your body. If something feels like it’s not setting then remove it and try again at another time.

Has anyone experienced bad diarrhea postop with cramping bloated and even some red bright blood in the mucosa of colon???? I am starting to get a bit worried that I might have a leak no sure. I know diarrhea is not a common side effect or a symptom for it.

This is good to know. Thank you. I'm doing good with what I've eaten so far. So I think it's the right time for me

Hi everyone ! Just so happy bc I’m in ONEderland! Yay! I’m so grateful that I was approved for this surgery. I had posted my date was 10/19, since then I lost 31 lbs. No regrets, should have done this sooner! Only new challenge is learning to eat verrrry slowly since I started soft foods. Love this site, I’ve learned so much from you all! 😊

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
