I'm trying this out today. It's been in the crock pot about an hour. It seems really thick - more like a dip than a Soup. Is this the consistency others have gotten or did I miss a step or ingredient?

What is rotella?

Hi everyone. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Wednesday, 12/19/12. I came home from the hospital on Friday, 12/21/12. So far, I am still on liquids but I feel soooo full all the time. It's really uncomfortable. I have to force myself to get my Water and Protein in. I am doing my best. My follow-up appointment isn't until 01/03/13 due to the holidays.

I live in Cleveland, Ohio and had my surgery done at the Cleveland Clinic. My diet is "self-advancing." So, basically, I have some guidelines and I move along as I feel I am able. I am supposed to stay with liquids for 1-2 weeks and then move on to pureed foods for another 1-2 weeks and then on to soft foods. I really enjoy reading about the menu/food options on this forum because they offer more detail than my guidelines do. Thank you, in advance, for that.

So, just a couple of questions...

Did anyone else here have surgery on 12/19/12?

Did anyone else have surgery at the Cleveland Clinic?

Did anyone else experience this fullness I am having? If so, how long does it last?

Also, I have a blog where I have been writing about my journey leading up to surgery. Feel free to check it out if you would like... losercoop.blogspot.com

Merry Christmas everyone!
