    Glad to hear you are doing well! I'm on puréed foods starting Tues. I'm not allowed to have naked juice. They told me it has too many carbs and sugars. I imagine it would be ok if watered down? I'm not sure though. I had a rough time having a BM. My doc said a lot was from my pain meds which were Tylenol 3 (codenine) and that binded me. Plus the lack of fruit and veggies. They suggested milk of magnesia. I can't take that stuff. But if you are able to get down liquid meds that might be an option. I can't wait to be in purée. I think we will be able to get things "movin" :) good luck to uou

    I was getting desperate last night, but didn't drink naked juice n had Applejuice instead. Worked like a charm (thank God).

    At what week did your doctors put you on puréed foods?

    Glad to see you all are doing good!! I haven't been on here in a day or so' date=' so I am trying to catch up!!! :)[/quote']

    Hi donatelife!! Glad you are doing well. My doc switched me to purees at my 10 day follow up. It's been ok, I enjoy eating yogurt the most.

    I was sleeved this past Thursday' date=' so today I am 4 days out. I am still having a lot of trouble swallowing. Feels like a golf ball every time. Also, they gave me a suppository in the Hospital BC I was in SO much pain from gas. So now I have (sorry TMI) liquid diarrhea. Did any of you have any of these issues? I am worried about dehydration. I am on full liquids, so I'm trying to drink skim milk along with Water and some zero calorie electrolyte drinks like Powerade Zero and Gatorade. Haven't attempted a Protein Shake yet.[/quote']

    The feeling of having a goofball stuck will go away in a few more days...I had a similar experience as yours at the beginning since I was pretty much sipping on chicken broth n water. Just keep on sipping water, liquids, to avoid dehydration.

    Today I had some 100% apple juice. I was really craving it' date=' and it helped me painlessly meet my Fluid intake. I say have some! We are even allowed to have mashed potatoes and hot cereal.....LOTS of carbs. I think the low carb requirements start when we can eat real food.[/quote']

    I'm gonna have some apple juice right now cause this feeling is so uncomfortable :/ Thank you girl!

    I am reading through EVERY SINGLE POST here. I was sleeved a week ago (3/29). I am SO glad I read this. I have FOUR BOYS (11' date=' 7, 5, and 2). I spent two nights in the hospital, and then my sister came down from Atlanta and we stayed in a nice hotel for two more.

    But coming home.......this week was SPRING BREAK! Yesterday I had an emotional melt down. I just felt like NO ONE ON EARTH could possibly understand my overwhelming pain, sense of responsibility, and frustration. I guess you can. I am sorry you are going through this, but it really helps me that you shared it.

    I'll be praying for you!!!!![/quote']

    Hey buriedbombshell glad you are back. I gonna pray for you! Sending you well wishes.
