HI. I had plication on the 14th of April so I am still in the liquid phase as well. I had a very similar experience when I tried a yogurt, milk, and peanut butter smoothie. Only a few bites and I was sick. I have found that foods high in fat do not sit well with me...but thats the idea right? If I have a bad experience with a particular food, I just usually sip on some clear liquids and usually Im ok in a bit. I am down 8 pounds since surgery and feeling great! Best wishes to you!

Hi. I had my plication on April 14th and I have had nothing but liquids since. The post surgery instructions say if you cant drink it, do not eat it...for 21 days. Did you puree these foods down to liquid or what? And 15 pounds is excellent weight loss!! Yes!

It is great to do your research, but do not let the "horror stories" freak you out. There are possible complications associated with any surgery. The surgeon you are referring to in Ohio is inexperienced with the plication surgery, unlike Dr. Ortiz who has performed the procedure numerous times without complication. Just sayin...

Yes I agree with you all! I had Plication at OCC on April 14th, exactly one week ago today. I am home now and feeling great!! The staff at OCC and Hotel Lucerna were excellent, so glad I made the decision to go to Tijuana. Make room for me on the losers bench!!

I am scheduled for Gastric Plication on April 15...soo excited!! Just a few weeks! I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all of this...any words of wisdom from veterans for newbies like me?
