I really like the Premiere ready to use shakes...no bad after taste...I have only had their chocolate think may buy strawberry

Thanks I keep drinking and I will continue...I just sucked on a hall breezers which is giving a bit of relief need something more long term

OK friends...I want some suggestions... I am constrantly sipping water so I am not dehydrated....but the cotten mouth feeling is not going away...any suggestion to eleviate this problem? I was hoping once on full liquids pudding and soups would help...it is not.

I didnt deal with any,....SInce I am so new post op and still really sore, we didnt attend any, But the food that my fiance cooked last night smelled really good...

amazing b4 and afters...congrats and keep up the good work.

Our Nut said we could use the broth package out fo the noodles not he noodles themselves...

I am 4 days post-op...Clear liquids went just fine for me. Today was 1sst day of full liquids...I had sugar free pudding for breakfast. Currnelty eating cream of chicken soup for lunch. I am however not doing as well as mystigal...I have lost 7 lbs since my pre-op diet..but they say the 1st of recover very normal to not lose or even gain weight do to swelling and the iv fluid they pump into you at the hopsital. I am still sore in a couple of my incisions. Today is much better than yesterday and I am sure tomorrow will be even better.

Each person is different..I lost 4 lbs but like the post above me states the purpose is to reduce the size of liver so it doesnt get nicked...You are gonna do great. I am 4 days post op and still uncofortable...wiht a couple of my incisions but we again we are all different.....Keep smiling and you will just fine.

the long term the band is not worth it...if you did have success with them the success rate only last 5 years and that is if you have zero probs...The sleeve is a permanent process (tool). My surgeion doesnt do bands anymore either. He is a tell it how it kinda guy. plus with the sleeve since most of your stomach is removed so the hormome makeing area of Ghrelin which tells your brain you want food...with the band you still have that horemone so you are constintaly fighting with yourself

Glad you posted this didnt even give them a thought...but something to put in my rolodex of info for the future.

I am planning on trying Cream of Chicken soup (minus the chicken), and tomatoe soup...as some of my soup choices...I was also told you could any cream soups as long as you strain the bit peices out of it....Thought bout making a cheese soup too..

I like quinoa and I dont need it right now...but sure when it would fit into the diet plan..if I can use it during puree foods that would be a good change with tons of protein...but not looking that far ahead right now...just doin my full liquids right now.

Yeah I would agree it looks like bruising to me too....I am sure everything is fine. be concerned it you sell and turn red and have fever in it.

My curriosity has anyone used quinoa for a source of protein? I saw that on the full liquid diet you can have hot cearal....and quinoa is a small grain similar....So has anyone used this during full liquid or puree stage and how was it tolerated?

I was given an anti nausea patch to wear behind my ear...you might want to ask the dr bout that...they say your pain level makes the nausea worse...I told them as long as I dont move it doenst hurt they said but your body still hurts even if you are not really feeling it.

I am 4 days post op and been getting in liquids pretty well too...but not a full feeling and really just put in my mind cuz it goes right through...but i makes sense that our stomach nerves are in shock from surgery...never thought bout it....thanks

Congrats on 5 days, I am 4 days post op and today I was told to start full liquids, eating a sugar free pudding and it is doin well right now. Accourding to my Dr.s orders, 3 days post op clear liquids, then 7 days for full liquid (cream soups included) then 3 weeks of puree foods. Only introduce 1 new food at a time

Sounds to me that what he is experiencing is GAS pains....I am still getting the pains but it usually a few mins after sipping on some water.

Well I am not as young as you are, I was sleeved on the 23rd. as far as the extra skin thing..I am sure I will have to have a tummy tuck in a couple of years...got to start saving right now.

O my...I am soo thankful that I didnt vomit yet...and I have been doin water and juice with no problem...I am still extremely sore so I cant imagine how badly vomiting would be right now. good luck to you chickie.

I had no problem letting people in my life know what I was doing. For me it keeps them involved with me during the new life process. Now It isnt anything that I put ou there on the FB world....only close family and friends that I spend my life with.

great job!

they want your stomach empty so you can get the nutrion from your food....since you dont get much food it will give you the sensation of being full...now if you drink before and during and you flush that food out then you will be eating more and wont get the loss you are looking for.

We 30 mins prior and 30 after an non during..I am 3 days post op and still on clears...so it really kinda all runs together... since my meals have been jello....30
