i do it after its warm, in small amounts... i make a bowl of soup last night and just did one scoop and i added it all at once... it was chunky... but i was not really able to tell because it had chucks of other stuff in there so it was like i was just eating the soup....

Hey, I was sleeved on the 26 my info below... Message me would love to text and chat to someone around same time weight age

great idea thanks

Welcome!

So I just wanted to let anyone know that may need that extra Protein throughout the day.... I have been trying to think of great ways to get the most of protein and many ways.... Drops in the Water, Protein Bars etc.... And I thought I wonder if they had a flavorless kind.... So I walked into GNC and bam they have 100% whey protein flavorless!!! I only got a small package due to being unsure if it would actually be flavorless... So tonight I tried it and not one flavor!!! I put one scoop in a half cup of Soup and bing bang boom best soup, with added protein I needed. I googled a lot and see you can add to yogurt, soup, potatoes, chili etc.... Nutrition facts One scoop 130 calories 70 mg cholesterol 2 g fat 60 g sodium 190 mg potassium Carbohydrate 4 g Sugar 1g Protein 24 g

I'm 16 days post op. I'm doing great. Started on mashed stuff and chicken. Chewed up really good. Soups too. I get about 4 small bites or spoons of whatever and I'm stuffed. My belly grawls and I know stop! Also when I'm hungry I get a loud gurgle too. Water and everything is going down good!!!

great suggestion, thank you and you have a great day.

like i said it was a CHIP, not a meal! i am not sure why you are now getting on my surgern... i am going to chalk it up to a SUGGESTION... i believe this is a website for feedback from people's point's of view and how they are doing things... i may have read the entire site wrong but from what my surgen did compaired to all the other post's and people have gone thru this surgery EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT thank you.

how much rice or whatever did that guy eat... i mean to basically explode on the table i would think he ate WAYYYYYYYYYY more and then just kept shoveling..... for the person who posted this... if you are doing it for crunch or tecture... i was really craving chips right after surgery like 4 days after... the surgern is a family friend and told me chew it up and spit it out... you will get your taste and not hurt yourself in the end... i did it and let me tell you it worked!!!!!!! i am still on the "liquid" post op, but i have gotten okayed for potatoes and yogurt... let me tell you when i need that craving fix that works i dont know if that will work for you too hope this helps and doesnt scare you

They good?

Good question, and I had same worry ( I'm one week post op... I take depression medication, high bp, heart burn, and sleeping... And I asked about them because they are all extended release.... My doc told me I was okay but still check with your doc. I also had a normal check up with my normal doc and double checked with her and she even checked my tummy staples for me.... And one is a little irritated so she gave me better antibiotics to put on there.... Best of luck! Ellie

Right now I am doing 1 shake for Breakfast, broth for lunch, 1 shake in the afternoon, and broth for dinner.... Along with Water and juice.... I don't think I'm getting enough in.... Or am I? I need some sample day like examples of what others are doing... Don't just say xxx amount of Protein... I want to know exactly so I do know if I'm off or not.... I am going to buy some powder tonight cause right now I'm just doing premade shakes and is that even enough protein in one day? I'm taking all Vitamins too Thanks. Add me too I'd like to be able to check back with progress or updates for great advice given.

i am a 5 days post op and i am just wondering when will the swallowing air bubbles that hurt stop? i eat or well drink my liquids so slow but that air bubble that i get hurts sometimes so much...

Hey there everyone! I'm home, well at my moms home. I left the hospital yesterday (Sunday). I'm a little sore just sore like I did a crap load of sit ups. I do have some brusing but not too bad. Photos attached. I got lots of support and visitors while I was in the hospital too. Lost of great family and friends. Beautiful flowers too! I was the only one on our floor walking, and I actually was the one who asked the nurse can I get up I'm sick of laying here.... They were all impressed! I had a huge gas bubble that was painful for the first 23 hours until I got something for it to help pass. When I finally got to "fart" I blew thru my pj pants and bed... So embarrassed! Took a hot shower there too felt like heaven! I was up and down heat wise... I just wasn't 100% good there. But I made the very best of it. On the way out I had 5 vases of flowers and mom ran to get the car... Some orderly of e hospital was by the door and was like ahhh you finally get to go home.... Where is the baby? I was like well I didn't have a baby but I hope that is the last time I get that sad misunderstanding again. Thanks! Butt face! I wore cute pjs and gave my nurse goodies and they all loved it... Was sad to leave I made a few friends but hate to say its been fun but peace out lol. I'm home now, eating broth and shakes... I have a Popsicle here and there and water or tea... Went for a walk and cleaned my moms kitchen floor... I'm pooped now and will be laying down for a cat nap. Love ellie
