Hey i lost 15 pounds! yeyyyyyy

Hey guys, I had my first post-op appointment today im 1 week out, Dr. Goyal says im doing good, i lost 15 pounds and am no longer on just liquids! As per my doc i can now have pasta,veggies(boiled),tuna....basically anything i can chew real good! (no meat,rice or bread) Im sooo happy! so of course as soon as i left his office i made myself some pasta with butter! yummy! (he said butter was ok...just no sauce! ) I asked if i can have mac and cheese and he said yes! so that will be tomorrows dinner! yeyyyyy! I can also resume driving! yes!!! I must admit i didnt think i would feel this good 1 week out! Im so glad i had this surgery done!

You sound like you are doing great! I got moved up to the soft foods yesterday and my doctor just allows me to eat the "normal soft foods". I would love to have some mac and cheese! Be careful when eating pasta's, my wife had trouble with it until her 2 month. But everyone is different!

Hey Cynthia, Congrats on the 15 pound loss. I am two weeks out and have lost 19 pounds. I was moved up to mushy foods like those too. My doc said that I could also try fruits with a peel as long as I chewed them well. I have tried grapes so far and they have been wonderful. I thought that the natural sugar would make me dump, but I guess I didn't eat enough of them to make it happen. Anyway I am happy for you. Enjoy that pasta. Cathy
