Three weeks post! Today all I been dealing with with nausea. I had some chicken salad...first time didn't totally agree.....second time, I ate less, no problem.... I have had few sugar free pop sicles today.... Water.... ice tea.... but I'm feeling blah! What can I try for soft foods? What will help my nausea? How do you know if you have a leak? I am pain free, just feel head and stomach icky. Like morning sickness....

I can have soft foods starting Monday. I'm gonna try today.

I would just like a bite of something other then pureed. Or soft. Something tasty and meaty. Like chicken Or piece of meat loaf. But id take a few sips of sprite over any of that right now. Not really scared. Of anything except causing a leak.

Thanks :+)

I am 25.... I just want a bite of grilled chicken or food that is normal... Id settle for a piece of deli ham and cheese.... I am only eating 2x a day. And drinking Water or sipping on diet v 8 splash. This sucks... Dying of thirst all the time. Can't drink milk and eat. Crystal light became disgusting already. And living alone I think makes it worse! :+(

Sleeved- April 8, 2013. In Madison Heights Michigan. So far, have a small infection in my belly button incision, and an allergic reaction, to the steri strips that literally look like my skin was burned with Water blisters. Protein, eh not so much getting in. I been focusing on trying to stay hydrated with water and diet v 8 juices. My stomach hasn't been able to handle an egg at all. Dietician says to much protein at once ? My stomach handles creamed Soups and refried Beans with melted cheese. I am not hungry usually but know I must get something in me... to stay healthy. I don't know if I'm losing weight I don't own a scale. In past 2 weeks I know I have lost 30 pounds. I don't feel or see where on my body yet. Kind of bummed. Besides my rings are lose and close are a little looser for me. I want real food. Even tho I know I cannot eat much of it in one sitting. Struggling with the baby stage of pureed diet. I miss chewing a piece of chicken or deli meat. I miss working. And fear, because my energy level is not near as high as or was, I'm not physically ready to go back to work. I have read many many forums and have read the critics and such. I want to be able to enjoy outside life again, like yes, I can go have lunch w my best friend eat a yummy salad or chicken breast or 1/4 of a 6 inch sub on gutted bread or flat bread. I miss middle of the night dying of thirst chugging iceeeee coooolllld water. I miss sprite.... even tho I rarely drank it, I miss it. Something limey and bubbly. All comes back in time. But I'm young and my patience isn't the best side of me. I did try an coke flavored Icee float tonight. Small I ate about 1/8 of it. Felt good. No pain, no gas. I'm ready. But I don't think my stomach is completely ready entirely itself. :+( Some days feel like biggest mistake I could of made.
