  3. I'm 8 days post op what wel did you all tt to add mash potatos our refried beans. Not sure if it's next week or 3 weeks. I feel like I need variety but don't want to damage my new tummy
  4. Still no bowel movement 8 days out. Just started miralax 2 days ago and still nothing
  5. I had my surgery on a friday and went to school and work on tuesday. By thursday I was exhausted. Been in bed since. I get up and run errands of course also.
  6. Has anyone tried baby food when on the pureed stage. I started strained of cream of wheat and soups. So today I want to add fruit so I want to add baby food fruits. so I don't have to bother with pureeing. any ideas if that's ok.
  7. Just started soup. I tried some cream of wheat this am but only had a few bites. Then I had cream of mushroom soup strained for lunch. I must of over done it because a hour and half later I feel stuffed. I keep looking at food my kids are eating and wanting out but I could not even if I wanted to. Hope I didn't over eat. I feel so stuffed I feel like I might of done damage to my sleeve. Won't make this mistake again. I'm only down 7 lbs. That sounds crazy only.lol. This stuffed getting while still craving other food is going to drive me nutty.
  8. Yeah sorry guys that was a silly mistake. I am day 7 today post op.
  9. Hi all. I'm supposed to be able to start cottage cheese and cream of wheat tomorrow. Did anyone else start that early and what was your experience
  10. I was given a list of foods I can eat and at what time to start them but not how much. Also i'm getting up to 64 ounces but not quite there yet. Do I still do 64 ounces when I start my cream of wheat and apple sauce tomorrow
  11. I'm on day 6. Am I allowed to drink any amount of liquids I want, for example water, clear juices, broth up to 64oz. Is there a schedule i'm showed to follow our just when i'm hungry? Is broth and jello counted separate from watery and juice. I haven't been following a schedule. I drink when i'm thirsty, I drink when i'm hungry. Sometimes it's a few sips sometimes several in a row our just one. Is that ok.
  12. I don't know about better stuff but at 7 days post op u gey cottage cheese and yogurt. Lol. I guess thats better at least it will add texture. What are you a2 right now.
  13. Put your fork down after each bite. Sounds simple but works great
  14. lol. Yes I meant bowel movement. I have a droid phone that use swype technology. Not always a good thing. Thanks
  15. I am 4 days post op. And have had no crowell movement not one. Is that normal? If not what should I take?
  16. I'm not feeling any pain from sipping at all. And haven't since surgery. Thanks so much diva. You're awesome. Just don't want to damage mt surgeons work
  17. Is it 64 oz of water plus broth and jello or all together
  18. Can you drink too much and stretch your stomach or gey a leak from drinking to much
  19. Why do I feel hungry. Is it head hunger, I don't know. i'm so scared of stretching my stomach and getting a leak that I am afraid to eat more jello. Or drink more broth. Or I might drink too much. Maybe I am really hungery. And not eating enough. I just need to make out a few more days to get to yogurts and stuff for more texture and substance then liquids. Awww. No my stomach is growling is that hunger or a myth
  20. I an four days post op. I live in modesto ca. Not quite bay area but close enough. I'm always in sf
  21. Thank you miss diva I am drinking water in between also but not much. I'll start keeping track today to make sure I get my 64 ozs in. you guys are a god send really
  22. And I experience no pain when swallowing. slight slight discomfort when I take a big sip si i've ben forcing myself to take small sips
  23. So I was given a post op diet and told what I can have but not how much. Yesterday I had half a cup of apple juice, 2 jello snack cups, and a small cup of broth. Is that normal. Everyday I can eat more (4 days post op). Plus I got weighed on sunday 213 and today 213 is that normal. Today i'm going to gnc to get my liquid vitamins any suggestions.
