I I did not have a pain pump, but they sent me home with a liquid pain medicine, I stopped taking it after the 4th day also. Im still having burping issiues after I drink any thing, even with small sips !!I do agree, that every day it is getting better. The TYJ I got from a facebook page, they have great inspirational sayings, and I really think it helped me alot with this journey of mine, I actually got it tattoo'd on my right inner arm !! Best of luck to you also.

Congrats!!! I'm looking forward to hitting it also!! 5 pounds to go !!!

Just curious, I thought 2 weeks out you should still be on a soft diet, I think I would be scared to try any of those things yet. Hope you feel better after your dumping.

Oh I cannot wait, mashed are my favorite !! I had some unsweetened apple sauce and I thought it was heaven also !!

Also some protien bars,which helped with the need to chew !!!

I did, Jello, chicken broth, crystal light ice tea, Protien shakes and sugar free ice pops. Good luck !

Found them !! thanks Speedy

speedy, where did you buy the iso-pure ? does it come in a liquid form ?

Hi everyone ,sounds good all the food your getting down. My question is, when does the sipping stop? I know I will always have to be mindful of how I eat (slowly) . Just curios how long it took to stop this sipping ?

Thanks for the info, I just feel the the water makes me burp . I find that the crystal light ice tea is working for.

Best of luck to you

I do realize i need to get into a routine, sitting around the house, not being able to do much is driving me crazy !!

I had my surgery on Weds. August 1st, I am having a hard time getting all that water and protien in, what are you secrets ?? Im not that tired, but then Im. not sleeping that well at night.

Thanks everyone, I came home from the thospital on Friday afternoon, I will not lie I was miserable !! alot of gas pain and back pain, seemed like I could not get comfortble. I am feelin better now.. All i though to myself in the hosptial, why did i do this, I could of dieted !!!! But I know why I did this , it was for the best. It's just hard to think that when you feel miserable!! Ive been confused about what I can eat, the doctor's paperwork is alittle different from the dietician from the hospital !! according to his paperwork I can have some fat free pudding , i'm trying it now with my medicine crushed in it..not the best tasting, but it's going down !! It's a slow process, I have to remember that and just take it one day at a time. TYJ- Trust Your Journey

Thank you so much every one !!!

Ok I need to vent, I went to my doctor's today for a weigh in, I'm 12 days into a 16 day liquid diet and all I lost was 8 pounds !! I never once strayed from what I could have.. I feel like it should have been alot more of a loss !! Just very frustrated and sad... thanks for listening everyone, wondering if anyone else had this problem ?

You are so right, thank you for pulling me back to reality !!

Thank you for this !! you are so right.. Just what I needed to hear !!

I'm on Lexapro for anxiety, and it has been a godsend !!!

My doctor had me stop taking my birth control pills 2 weeks before my surgery, I started my period and I'm sill spotting, I'm hoping it will stop before my surgery 8/1

I have a question to anyone that has already had their surgery, my orginal date for surgery was 7/9, but it has been changed to 8/1.. this is my dilema, I am going on vacation to California on 8/15, my family lives there and we will be celebrating my parents 60th wedding annivesary. I am concerned because it will be so soon after and I will still be in the soft food stage. I want to have it before I go because I've been waiting so long. So my question is do I have it before vacation or wait till after ?

I'm on day 7 and still doing well, I've had headaches and a few pity party's, but all in all I'm hangning in there !!

It is a 6 hr flight with includiing a lay over, NJ to Ca. I will have plenty of people with me to help, I will have to talk to my doctor about the blood clot issue. I'm 7 days into my 2 week liquid diet, it's a struggle, but I keep saying it will be worth it !!! how are you doing ?

Thank you for that information, I will talk to my doctor about that

Yes I have to fly, so that is why I'm concerned !! But like I said, I am going to trust that this is the right time for me !
