Doctor did not place a limitation, but it was a couple of weeks before I had the energy to go for it.

Thank u for the advise....

Mine said "if you want to have it in the HOSPITAL, go for it" LOL

This is the hardest part I know I'm not hungry but I just want to chew on something. ... I wonder if I should buy a pack of gum if that would help

Extra...It's sugar free. I chew the spearamint and it keeps it's flavor for HOURS! : )

Thank u Stephanie I will have to get some I need to chew something lol....

Just be patient. Its all going to come together. Just take your time eating. Yay on the energy front! One day at a time one baby bite at a time!

They advised me its normal until all the gas works its way out. i have been playing this out in my head to remind myself as well "walk walk walk sip sip sip" like a song. I hope it goes away soon.

Walking is the best way!! I walked and "burped"!! A lot!!! LOL Praying you will have relief soon. Are you also using GasX strips? They do help some.

Thank u for the tips walk and Sipping like crazy gas is finally decided to show up I'm burping alot too but my shoulder is driving me nuts

It's temporary sweetie. I did the same thing for 2 1/2 days. Then it stopped just all of the sudden and I've been great ever since! : )

Prayers coming your way!!

I have the MFP app but I haven't used it in quite sometime but I plan on utilizing it once I have my surgery for sure... my username is Keedy_Taught_Me I would love to add more friends!

mine is RecycledPlastic

I'd love to be friends with anyone if you don't mind being friends with a bandster. My user name is lleepers.

thank you im trying to stay motivated and keep busy so i dont have time to think about it... so im almost there

Just remind yourself "It's only 2 days...it's only 2 days..." YOU GOT THIS!!! Congrats on how far you've already come!

you got this!!! just remember why you are doing this and keep moving

most of those that know about my surgery has been positive, but I had one person that was very negative...hang in there they are just jealous!!! keep up that you'll be just fine!!!

You will hear worst than that. People can be pretty reckless with their words. Almost two years out, and I wish one of them would show me the "easy side" of this journey. It has been anything but. I don't even care when I hear comment like that. The truth is, I work harder on my health then they do! I have to plan, measure, account for every piece of food that I eat. I told someone once: I make it look easy 'cause Im good like that. But it's not.

yeah i just was shocked due to how close to my coworker i was needless to say i dont need negativity so i havent said a word to her since the incident ... more due to i have a reckless mouth and wouldnt need to get fired over this... but everyone is entitled to there own opinion just wasnt expecting it from her.... ive had worse from people who dont know what ive been threw and what ive done and how ive got here but i expect that but not from some1 u work with everyday and are good friends with just crazy...

I have my black book of answers, it says: low carb yogurt, skim milk, water, crystal light or similiar, decaf tea, sugar free gelatin, broth (low sodium), sugar free popsicles, vitamin 10 water, vitamin zero water, propel...

NO caffeine coffee or tea, carbonated drinks, or alcohol

hope that helps

oh and protein shakes... I used premade low carb slim fast...but you can go to InsureNutrition.com and fill out the form to get free protein drinks, etc... you will need them afterwards as well

thank you so much i see i shall starve lol.... i got this tho!! thanks for the list
