Today is day 1 for my full liquid stage in my post op diet. I only remember that my Doctor said cream of wheat and yogurt and I think he said cream Soup. What else can I have on full liquid stage. I tried yogurt today and I just took Greek yogurt and mix it with Protein powder ( Cookies and cream) it was like ice cream but I wasn't able to eat more then 3 tea spoon. later on I remember my favorite lassi and add the Water to it and blend and I was able to finish this drink. what other choices I can have on full liquid stage of post op diet. THANK YOU.

I am as well side/stomach sleeper I was able to sleep on right side from day 4 and on the left one only since last night, but what I did. How I started: I take king size pillow and put it behind my back, so when I am laying on it so it like you are laying on the back but because of the pillow it is more like on the side. and yesterday I was able to put it on the side of my stomach and hug it., ( like I used to sleep with pregnancy pillow) so your stomach is laying on the pillow and you are on your side. Yesterday was the first night when I was able to sleep through the night for 5 hours. all previous nights I was sleeping for 3 hours and after need to walk for an hour and sleep again.

I am using the cute kids cup as well. this one and my kids is fighting who will drink from which one

I tried gas-x strips but it doesn't help me. walking and burping a lot does. walk walk walk. the pain would be gone. at least 1week post op I don't have it.

I still have my twins cutlery but I don't use it. I just using the tea spoon. at least I notice that broth taken by tea spoon go easy and without pain then with tablespoon.

I am with you I tried to translate it from English to English and was thinking about baby food as well

you know for me it sound that you are dehydrated. go to ER and let them handle that. you will feel much better after. please take care of yourself.

Thank you for all your reply. I just want to tell that I didn't fill discourage. I just trying to understand if I do everything right. I still have a little demon in my mind who is saying to me you can do the same without the surgery. I mean 5lb per week on clear liquid.and I am trying to prove myself that this time it will not be only 10 months and everything would be back. I am such a person who has the goal and go to it knocking almost everything on my way but only if I have support. as soon as I start loosing the support I start loosing the hopes. So this site is very important to me. you are my support group.

Sound nice, but available only for iPhone not android.

as some of you know I had a surgery on September 7. Recovery is good. Have minor acid Reflux but I am on Zantac. Burping slow down and became much better. still have problem sleep at night but this is another story. I am loosing very little weight. I know that we cannot compare ourselves to others, but I do. I know it was a lot of us who did the surgery around the same time. and I read that some lost 10-12lbs for the first week. I weight myself today 1 post op week and I only lost 4.8lbs. Am I doing something wrong? I am walking everyday 30-40 min. I am taking almost all my Protein I should ( 55-65g) and drinking my 50-64oz of liquid intake( including protein). but my scale doesn't want to make me happy with low number. I understand that probably my metabolism is just sleeping and now it's is waking up.... but I always thinking might be I am doing something wrong? I really expected to see a bit bigger number for the first week.

Good Luck to all today's sleevers

Congrats girls. keep the good vibes.... New grandma? where are you? I hope everything is good.

It would. did you measure yourself? s lot of times when weight loss stop the body change their size. so you are loosing inches not lbs.
