Hello everyone, My surgery was June 24th. I was cleared for full liquids yesterday. I am allowed all Protein shakes, no fat yogurt, sugar free applesauce, sugar free pudding, cream Soups with no lumps, etc. I can't seem to swallow anything thicker than my Protein shake without feeling like a lump is in my throat for hours. I had 1/4 teaspoon of the applesauce earlier and immediately got the lump and nausea. I'm not sure how anyone else does it! Does this mean I probably just still have swelling and should stick to the shakes for now? I can swallow them just fine and fluids just fine. I haven't called the doc because I'm not in pain, I just can't get anything that seems like "food" down. Thanks for listening to me whine. Let me know if you experienced anything similar. Chelle

I am 1 week post op as of today. Feel free to add me chelleshocked30

Wow this is so funny! I love Food Network, but in the past week since my surgery I have been watching it every day! Luckily hasn't caused any cravings..... Yet

Hello everyone! My first post op appt is tomorrow and I should be cleared for full liquids. I can not wait! Hiccups and sneezes are killer! I have to hold my side. Hope everyone is doing well

Doing much better today! I have already got half my fluids and protein in. Not feeling the "stuck" feeling today if I drank more than 2 oz in 15 mins. My incisions are good except the big one. It's much better today but if I move wrong OUCH! Hope everyone is healing well!

I ended up throwing away 3/6 bottles. I always dry heaved and had to choke it down. I am still on clear liquids 5 days post op, and have been mixing unflavored unjury with everything or using the chicken soup unjury. I can't wait until full liquids next week so I can go back to my premiere protein!!

Progress today! I was able to drink 10 oz over an hour timespan without that "stuck" feeling healing is happening yay!

Yes I have really had to gauge my fluids one ounce every 15 mins. If I don't I feel like a lump is stuck for about 30 mins and nothing else will go down. I have def been better today though! One day at a time

Amazing!

I am really having to pace my clear liquids. More than an ounce every 15 mins and I am in pain and feel like a lump is stuck. I tried to do a sf Popsicle last night-was in pain for 30 mins. Gonna stick to warm clear liquids with my unflavored Protein mixed in. I am so ready to advance to full liquids so I can go back to my premiere Protein shakes. They tasted so much better than this clear stuff.

my surgery was the 24th and I have not either. Also do not feel constipated. I assume it's because of the clear liquid diet.

I check in at 9 am and surgery is at noon Mine is sleeve

I was thinking about getting the unflavored Protein and mixing it with something like crystal light....but wasn't sure it would work. Does it dissolve completely and is it really unflavored? Thanks ???? I can taste the Unjury, but the drink mix I used almost completely masked it. It takes a bit to mix in. I used my shaker bottle. Was better than that Isopure for sure!!

Luckily I only had to do Clear liquids the 2 days prior to surgery. The previous 12 days were 2 Protein shakes + Soup for dinner. Don't buy the Isopure Grape Frost. I just dry heaved getting that one down. YUCK! Good luck tomorrow @@Licia'sjourney! I will be coming in right behind ya!!

I am doing unflavored unjury and crystal light cherry lime! It's pretty good. Today has been better for sure I have to be there at 9 am, surgery is at noon. Woohoo!!

9 am tomorrow! So excited!!

It's almost here!!!

I am having my sleeve Wednesday June 24th with Dr Smith. Congrats!!
