I supplement with protein drinks. Post op I prefer the nectar like lemon tea that I add crystal light peach mango tea to. Also unjury strawberry sorbet mixed with water, then crystal light pomegranite/cherry bland.

I couldn't tolerate anything cold in the hospital. Peppermint tea saved me! Take some teabags with you.

Look at the bigger picture. If you lose 18 lbs every 34 days, in a little over 6 months you will have lost over 100 lbs.

Hmmmm, I don't see a picture.

I have one large bruise below the largest incision.

great job!

You go girl!!

Peppermint tea saved me right after surgery. I couldn't eat anything cold. Low sodium chicken broth with

sugar free popsicles

No, but I was on the 6th

Unbesleeveable, I think it's pretty standard. I don't remember getting it. lol I'm 11 days (wow that went fast) post op and doing terrific.

It would help to know what you've tried and don't like. I'm not as found of the Protein I was drinking before surgery. But I can drink

I'm having no trouble with liquids either. But I've read that isn't abnormal with liquids. True test is denser food.

I can only imagine how hard it is for your daughter to face the weight battle at such an early age. There's a subsection of this forum dedicated to Self pay and Mexico. Look for that and read, read, read. Has you daughter been online reading the forums, too? I would suggest that as well. You may have already done that.

50 lbs in 5 months. That will be 100 lbs in 10 months. I would say that is FANTASTIC!!!

I started right away, too

Sarah, your post op sounds like mine. I felt great after they took me off the morphine. I prepared for the worst though!

Low sodium chicken broth with

good job!

I'm allowed eggs in week 2.

How long does it last? I'll have what I call a "wave" of burning for a few seconds and then it's over. I'm really not experiencing hunger but I do get my Protein in daily.

What a scare but so happy you are doing well now!!

Everyone is different, that's for sure. I'm retired but could have easily gone back to work after a week.

About 3 days into my preop diet I wondered if I could make it. I so wanted to eat, eat, eat!!! But I stuck with it and the feeling went away. Now that I'm postop it's even easier. I think the preop makes you stronger!
