6 weeks post surgery and things are going very well. I’m finally able to get my protein in, but still have to use a shake to get me there. Shakes are getting a little old but they still taste good to me so it’s all good. Had my first cup of caffeinated coffee yesterday and it was heavenly. I can have caffeine as long as I drink extra water and getting my water in has not been a problem since surgery. I don’t have to sip anymore either. I am able to take “normal” drinks without discomfort. So far the only thing that I don’t tolerate is steak. Everything else I have tried has gone well. I still time 1 minute between each bite and I think that has helped me not have any dumping episodes or discomfort when I eat. I still feel no hunger and I am going to ride that wave as long as I can because I know it won’t last forever. Overall this has been a great experience so far. I am 22 pounds down since surgery and 42 pounds down overall. I have so much more energy and can finally start to see some changes in my body. So glad I did this for myself.
