I haven't had any trouble drinking. But I'm further out than you. Just take it slow and try Gatorade. I had horrible hiccups the first week but they are gone now. Wait until you sneeze Also, I know this is tmi but we are all in the same boat. I didn't go #2 for 8 days. I finally mixed some miralax with my drink and the next day I went. Now it's all diarrhea. Everything I've read says that's normal because we are only drinking liquids.

If you ever have questions just call! They are open to any questions.

What day was your surgery?

I'm a teacher in little elm. Not far from you at all!

Same doctor!! Dr. Nick is the best! That man is soooo knowledgeable!

Hey, I'm in Denton. Where are you?

It was good! A little sweet. Next time I may try pickle juice to help with leg cramps.

My doctor said I can have any soup I want as long as its diluted and ran through a strainer. It must be a liquid. Milk shake consistency would be to thick. I usually mix one and half can full of skim milk and the other half with water. It's no thicker than the protein drink I get and it goes right through a strainer. I feel very confident in my doctor. He is extremely popular and has over 5,000 sleeves under his belt. If I ever have a question I call his office and they are wonderful. I'm on day 10. I purchased my strainer at Walmart. It's the one with the smallest holes. I would compare it to the screens on your window. June 5 pre-op diet 203 Sleeve June 19 187 Today 179

TX heat is brutal! Enjoying a sugar free snow cone!!

I had a weird feeling in my stomach the first couple of days and I wasn't sure if it was hunger. I was sleeved the 19th too and I don't feel any hunger. It's so odd! It's a chore to eat now and no longer what I think about. For me this is a blessing.

You will make it! It's so hard the first 3 days. I'm day 9 and I walked to mall, went to the movies, and played with my 3 year old outside.

Just a metal mesh one with the tiny tiny holes.

Call your doctors office for anything! I'm on day 9 and I've called 3 times. My doctors office is wonderful and they want me to call for any reason. Things I called for: 1. Felt weird feelings in my left leg, was nothing. 2. About protein 3. Today about soups. I wanted to know if I could have other soups then what are in my folder. The answer, "yes"!! Anything I can thin and run through a strainer, I am good!!! Cheddar cheese soup = AMAZING

Day 9: Today I got up and took a shower, finally shaved my legs, did my hair, and makeup. I took my 3 year old to the movies and to play at the mall play area. We came home and took a nap. I just cleaned up my house a little. (Dishes/laundry) I feel really good just tired. I'm trying to drink more Water. I am going to try and not weigh myself for one week! We will see how that goes!

Don't force the protein for a couple of days. At this point drink anything that feels good. I liked Gatorade. By day 4 you will be good to go!

Where are you from? Just curious, saw your name paradise mom and there is a town next to me called that. hope you are well!!

I am not a sweets person at all! It's starting to make me sick. I ordered unjury chicken soup online and unflavored protein. Go google unjury protein. It was $50 for those two canisters. The chicken soup has 21 g or protein and ill add the unflavored to other things I like.

I'm so far from being a water drinker. I'm trying to learn to like it.

What does your normal day look like so far? What do you drink?

Never heard of that. I'll check it out!!

I bought vanilla soy milk and have been mixing that with my strawberry protein and I love that! I need to make a run to the store for some regular milk!!

Today is day 8: I feel fine. Hardly feel the left incision. I'm just tired. I could sleep all day! I'm having zero problems getting 60g of Protein but struggling to get all 60oz. I love experimenting with different diluted Soups. Doctor said that if it can go trough a strainer, I can have it. So tonight I will try diluted with Water cheddar soup. I finally went #2. I used some miralax last night. I am taking twice a day a medications for acid/ulcers. I started my 2 Vitamins a day. I've been on B12 for a while. I am having some pressure in the middle of my back. I think it's just gas.
