  1. I had surgery May 20th, and I follow a meal plan and when its time for my Soup, 2x a day. I was told to mix a can of cream of chicken with a cup of fat free milk and bring it to a boil then for every 1/2 cup of soup to add 2 tbsp of fat free dry milk and mix. so I have to have or at least drink until im full 1/2 cup of soup which is 10g protein..but ive been able to tolerate the whole 1/2 cup but it takes me a while and after I feel full.

    does this sound similar to anyone else?


  2. Hi all! I was sleeved on MAy 20th as well! I'm so happy we are all finally here!

    I stayed at the hospital 2 nights and was on continous fluids till they discharged me..I waled a lot. I had horrible gas pain..I help so much tightness in my cheat that would radiate to my arms..especially my left arm..they did the whole chest pain work up..bit everything was normal..just gas pain..boy did it hurt! Within my stay I got two doses of morephine and once I had my upper gi xray to confirm no leaks..I was put on liquid lortab...it burns so much drinkinh it..so I sip on it slowly! I'm home feeling a whole lot better..I only take the lortab at night to prevent a restless night..I was also prescribed pepcid which helps a lot! I've been able to continue passing gas especially after I sip on broth. And finally having bowel movements! Yestetday I drank about 25 oz of Water and 20oz of broth! Hopefully my water intake will get better. I meet with my nut today since monday is memorial day! Hope everyone is doing well! Hope to hear from you all!
