I only had to be on full liquids one week. I just started purees and already feel soo much better! I was also dying for a piece of cheese! I needed salt so I did drink a little tomato juice yesterday. This morning I had one scrambled egg with one slice ff cheese. I ate it with a cocktsil fork! Lol. Then i had some Wendy's chili. 2 oz Supposed to puree it but I just made sure I chewed it really well and ate slow. It was goooood! Now I just ate a light yogurt. Per my nut, 2oz of food every 3 hrs. Can have 4 oz of yogurt though. I've been taking little walks but I am soooo tired. Have to go back to work Monday so I hope I feel better by then. It was hard to take time off because of the type of work I do, so I decided 2 weeks would be enough. Hope I dont regret it!

My sleeve was 2/17. Still pretty sore around large incision. I still feel gas bubbles in my chestwhen I eat or drink. Some hurt a lot! It just reminds me to stop and take a break. It will get better. I am on pureed now and so much better to deal with! Good luck!

No more diarrhea!! Yay!

Fluids rest and vitamin c

Mine was barium and it tasted like gasoline! Horrible! Only need a few sips, so you can do it! Good luck!

Just be careful with the farting because when you least expect it BAM diarrhea!! Lol! Almost didnt make it to the bathroom!

I also get a bubble like feeling with water. I had a sip of tomato juice today. I needed salt! An ice pack on the large incision helps with pain. Mine also hurts worse at night. Hang in there everyone!!

My sister was sleeved 1/28. She is doing well. Gets nausea from time to time. We are going to go to a monthly support group held at the hospital. That will probably help. Kinda like weight watchers!

Yes protein shakes are part of full liquid phase!

I can start pureed foods on Monday. Liquid is only 1st week. It's been rough. I have a hard time getting in all my fluids. Everytime I have anything I get a big gas bubble in my chest and I have to wait for it to pass before having anymore. AND as supportive as my husband and children have been, they still have to eat! Hear you loud and clear when it comes to cravings. I wanted to lick a potato chip yesterday! Lol!

I just keep telling myself that this too shall pass. Think of how great we will all feel in a few months!

No swallow test? Did you have band or sleeve?

I dont think it's sugar because my shakes have 0 sugar.

I didn't have a bowel movemenr for 3 days and now, well, explosive is all I can say! I heard this is very normal

I just had my sleeve 2/17. It's been more difficult than I thought , but everyday gets a little better.

I just had my sleeve 2/17. Even after a year of planning, I dont think I really knew what the post op period was going to be like. I walk and walk and still have gas. Crushing my meds is the most horrible thing ever! (AND for future sleevers...the swallow test is the most vile thing I have ever had in my life! ) The largest incision hurts the most. Gets a little better everyday. I cant wait to eat a piece of cheese! Good luck to you!
