Don't know if you went out to SD yet, but that's where I live There are lots of choices for food out here. Taco shops and Mexican restraunts always have beans with cheese, lots of seafood places out here too! Let me know if you need any recommendations!

You look amazing! I'm 2 months out and your an inspiration <3

I was ok'd to eat cereal and milk tarting week 5....haven't tried it yet, but gotta get me some of this special k protein!

I just hit a great clearance at sears! They had tons of $3.99 racks and I spent $100 on all sizes of stuff including Levi's!

I was the same way its so exciting and nerve wracking at the same time isn't it?! I will keep you in my prayers for surgery and recovery <3

Sounds good...been on my 3 week stall for a week now. Anyways today is my bday and I'm having me some cheesecake lol!

I agree...they make the best juice! It's the only juice my 14 month old will drink too lol. Other than that I get the ocean spray drink packets to mix with water since I'm water sensitive. I really enjoy the blueberry lemonade one.

Sounds sooo good! Can't wait until I can chew something lol! 10 days post op and it all sounds good

I would of thought I wrote this lol! I felt the same way at day 3. Luckily I'm able to drink protein shakes and think it really helps. If you have to be on clears maybe you can try the isopure protein drinks...they taste horrible IMO but it might help your energy. Just keep telling yourself it gets easier

It gets easier! Don't forget you can mix Protein powder into pudding. I'm drinking Premier Protein rtd cans that have 35g of protein a can...they are great by the way! And don't forget Greek yogurt is full of protein. I don't know how you manage water, I can't tolerate it at all.

It will get a little better every day. Just keep taking the lortab, it's a lifesaver. I mix mine with a little margarita flavor crystal light I'm 5 days post op and feeling more and more like myself everyday.

I also gained water weight in the hospital...7 lbs. Yesterday I finally weighed in at my pre surgery weight and today I was down 3 lbs! I'm still on a clear diet with protein shakes. Felt so much better today too, everyday gets a bit easier

I relate! I was sleeved on Monday at NMCSD San Diego Ca. I feel the same way but can't handle water. I've been using sugar free ocean spray packets and sf juice to sip. I'm also on protein drinks already but no yogurt or anything. Today was my first full day home and I'm very tired. It does seem to get easier to sip everyday and I do see the increase in fluids. I do still have gas and abdominal pain . The drugs in the hospital were so much better than what they sent home. Just ready to be able to play with my one year old a little more.

I had to drink one bottle the day before. LaceyD is right about it working quickly! I was running to the restroom all day. In the end it was like I was peeing out my butt...sorry if tmi :/ in the end it's all worth it!
