Good luck!! Prayers for an i eventful surgery & easy recovery!

Day 5 here (sleeved 6/6) Doing pretty good. Still a little but if abdominal pain but nothing pain med worthy. Actually felt like getting out of the house today. DrI've & ran a couple of quick errands. Energy level is improving. Growing very very tired of broth... Ready for something with some type of substance to it.

Ugh... I have to travel this weekend (one week post op) to SATX. I will be on full liquids so bringing plenty of protein shakes, yogurt & runny oatmeal but what about when it's an out to eat meal... Any suggestions??!?!?!!???!!?

Same as mine

I'm so glad to read all your posts.. I was sleeved on 6/6 & thought I was the only one feeling this way. I am soooooo sick of broth & every other clear liquid, I could scream!!! Supposed to start full liquids on Thursday... am so ready!!!!! Will be so glad when I can CHEW something!!!! Energy & pain wise, I'm improving daily... Just moving alittle slow.

Doing pretty good.. Getting a little stronger & more energy each day. No pain med needed since first day after leaving hospital. Honestly just sick & tired of BROTH!!!! Sadly, I'll be glad to drink protein drinks & yogurt (gross!!) -- 2 days left of this clear liquid fun!! Struggle to get required fluids (min 60 oz) each day but trying to drink as much as I can--- down 5 lbs since surgery--

Wish there was a HEALTHY shrimp & grits recipe ..... OH YUM!!!!!

I makes own popcorn & it's wonderful!! 1/4 c kernels in brown paper lunch sack Close bag & microwave for a minute and 4 sec ( in my microwave) Once done, spray with PAM or butter spray (i use Olive Oil). Sprinkle whatever seasoning you like . Close bag & shake, shake, shake.

When I CAN eat popcorn, I make my own & it's soooo yummy.. 1/4 c kernels in a brown paper lunch bag Microwave for 1 min and 5 sec ( in my microwave) Once done, spray with PAM or butter spray (i use Oilve oil spray) Sprinkle whatever seasoning you prefer in the bag, close and shake.. My kiddos love it b/c we all get our own bag , our own flavor & it's more than enough

That's what my Nut said too

Same here. I'm bjpjsmom

I know this has protein but is egg drop soup okay to eat during full liquid phase?? I am ending clear liquid phase and just trying to get some ideas before hand Thx

You can do it!!!

I was as nervous as imaginable -- this was my first surgery ever... Even had some thoughts about canceling but thankfully I did it & everything was fine. The first night, i was sore with some nausea but had wonderful nurses that gave me some morphine & phengren & i slept well. Still dealing with sore abdomen & moving a little slow but other than that no problems Prayers & best wishes for an in eventful surgery & recovery for you!!

Sleeping is a little uncomfortable but have found sleeping in a recliner to be much easier for me. Getting all req liquids down is rough. Aside from that and abdominal soreness, doing pretty good. Feeling a little better each day.

Thanks but I'm post-op & dr's order were clear liquids for 7 days after surgery then back to liquid diet for 7 more.

Same here but bring some Chapstick

Sonic ice ROCKS!!! Getting a little burnt out on water, beef broth & SF Popsicles. Need more clear liquid ideas for the next 5 days... Might try some Crystal Light or some Powerade Zero. Any other ideas????

The burping doesn't feel any better

When does the burping stop???

Nice to be home. Still some abdominal pain upon moving & still burping. Trying to move around & get plenty of fluids but would much rather sleeeeepp.
