This time last week I was just about to go under the knife and what a difference i feel already. I do think my recovery has been very smooth sailing, I haven't had a lot of pain since being home, I've gone from needing a walking stick to get around not very far to being able to walk today to the supermarket and back, which was just under a hour. I have a slight pain after walking on the right hand side of my stomach but I'm guessing that might be some soreness from my liver. I've hit 10 teaspoons of food, 5 times a day with no problem and getting a lot of protein in after some suggestions from here and others. I get a little frustrated with not being able to lift much as I'm bored just sitting around but emotionally I have not been this happy in years.

To anyone reading this, anyone who's thinking about going through with it, this is life changing in such a positive way and is so worth it 😁

I'm glad I read here that a week without going was normal but I was getting a little worried so got some stuff on amazon. Trust me not to need it now but I do feel better all around

Day 2 now of eating puree, having 5 teaspoons of mush, 5 times a day increasing by a spoon each day if everything is fine.

The problem I'm worried about is getting enough protein, I had cookie dough mush for two meals at 20g in total, a shake for the same amount then I made pasta sauce with mince blended down for the last 2 meal (no idea on protein there). I am missing a trick of getting more in? My dietician said I was not allowed to rely on shakes because it was to get my stomach used to solid foods but I enjoyed the liquid diet

I am just finishing my second week on the liver reduction diet and tried to use my scales to weigh myself (not been able to for a while but thought I'd give them a go). Managed to get a reading but if they are correct then I've lost 9kg in those two weeks, is this normal?

I will ask my bariatric team but it's a Sunday so have to wait till tomorrow
