TiredOfChubRub

22 oz isn't so bad. You will be able to take in more each day and the pain when drinking will go away in the next few days. Try to walk around a bit every few hours. It truly does help.

I am three weeks out. It took about a week for it to be completely gone. Day 6 for me was a huge corner that I turned. It will get better each day, and walking was the only thing that helped me. Force yourself to get up and walk around. It really truly helps.

The other day I divvied out a small bag of Cool ranch Doritos to my kids and had the seasoning on my hands. It was torture. So I feel your pain.

Need ideas.

I am already on an acid reducer. And it is not painful, but weird. I wake up like that. It feels like that all day long. Ugh.

Yes, teeny tiny bites and chewing forever. But yes, more dense.

Is it because I haven't had a bm in over a week?

Thank you all for the words of encouragement.

I have a four and six year old child. So yes, I am active, but not working out.

3 weeks out and very tired. I am not getting nearly enough protein or vitamins. But don't have enough room for food like I should be eating. Please help.

Have an insatiable desire to chug water. I am 3 weeks out. Can anyone tell me If I will be able to chug liquids ever again?

Right now I am drinking decaf fresh brewed ice tea. Unsweetened with a squeeze of lemon. Hitting the spot.

Thanks everyone. The support is so helpful especially since everyone around me is thin and can eat what they want. They just don't understand.

Just under 2 weeks. Had a two week liquid preop, so 1 month without real food.

Feeling very sorry for myself.

Good question. I am not close to this point but would like to know.

Thank you. I was so stupid. The reason I chose that over flake cereal was because it had a ton of protein in it.

This was like a granola. I let it sit in the milk for a very long time and then only took a few bites that were tiny and I chewed and chewed. Since then (9am) i have felt pain in my pouch each time I take a drink of something, haven't wanted to eat since, and am having back pain.

I didn't over fill. I only took a few tiny bites. Is something stuck in my sutures?

Sort of chest pain and back pain mixed as one. Like something is stuck.

10 days out and tried very mushy cereal because doc said I could. Now in pain. How long will it last?

Am in pure torture mode!!!!!! Roast beef, potato salad, corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes, wings, brownies, homemade cake!!!!!! PURE TORTURE!!!!

Not TMI. I asked. Thanks for the info. I am hoping for the runs too, but am expecting constipation.

I was sleeved on 8/9. The chest pains are normal. I am pretty sure it's the gas trying to come out. It finally subsided for me yesterday or the day before. I am able to er much bigger drinks in now. Thank goodness. The first four days were the hardest and then I turned a corner. Feeling much much better now.

I am one week post op and still have not gone. Is this normal? I don't feel constipated. At least not yet.
