When can we begin crackers? I know it's not the best choice but just wondering .. TIA

I haven't tried soups yet. What kind do you eat? How much? How many times a day?

I'll have to look for it. Are they pre made?

Steroids are working and I'm approved for all soft foods. They said the meatballs were a mistake and they told me wrong. So... lol I'm doing well. Staying in the steroids until 4 weeks post op. I'm excited to have a banana ... Even though it's probably two bites lol

Thanks

Thanks

The Protein shots are 42 grams but I only drink half at a time .. It's the best I can do and my surgeon recommended it. I get most of my protein from Protein shakes anyways

Thanks!! I feel tons better

Yes I can have thin slices deli meats, tuna and ground turkey just no hamburger

Thanks so much I appreciate that!

My sleeve hates dairy so I'm off most dairy. So no creamed soups. The baby bell was a no go. I got the okay to go to simple, soft/mushie proteins like meatballs and lunch meat. It goes down super easy I can only do 2-2.5 proteins shakes a day because the volume is too much. I get all my 60 grams tho. I do a whey protein shot that has 20 grams. I still struggle with water but I'm slowly busy surely getting there. Thanks for all the comments and advice! I go in for another test today. Hopefully they tell me I don't need the feeding tube because I'm doing well on steroids.

I have a follow up today that I'm nervous about. I really don't want a feeding tube. I've been getting my 60 grams of protein just not my water. Pray for me please!

I stayed 2 nights

Irritation but if you develop a fever head in right away.

Okay coolness thanks for the comments

I never took morphine. I didn't need any pain meds after the 2nd day. Not even Tylenol. I had a great surgery.

I'm not sure but I have tons of inflammation and I'm on high dose steroids. I've been able to get two Protein shakes and a small amount of mushies. Hopefully I can avoid the feeding tube tomorrow. Oh and I developed a stricture very early so I'll need that dilated at 4 weeks post op

Hardly anyone knew about it before hand but now everyone knows. I get good comments and bad comments but ... I DON'T CARE!! It's my body and I made the best decision for me.

Hope your surgery went well! Keep us posted

Yes! I think I'll try lunch meat with a baby bel soft cheese tomorrow. Just like a bite or two.

Surprisingly it went down 0 problems. Probably because I chewed the crap out of it and it's sure protein. It was just a plain patty. No seasoning and it was grilled so low grease. It was small too but I feel so accomplished. Going from nothing last week to finally being able to tolerate a little bit is amazing. I'm not pushing it. Every Time I eat dairy I get sick so maybe I just need to stay away from it. Maybe applesauce is better for me.

Hope you're feeling well today!

It's my birthday, my 27th bday and I'm like 11 days post op. My first without a great dinner and cake. I'm struggling today. All I want is to lose some weight. I don't want to be classified as "morbidly obese" anymore. I wanna go on roller coasters and feel comfortable when I fly. I need this surgery. I'm glad I had it but...... Today I hate it! I'm so weak it's insane. I've had about 12 oz of fluid today and one bite of yogurt. That's really me trying all day. I tried drinking more and I barfed. Barfed all over my backseat. Today I want cake, I want to go to dinner, I want to have energy to enjoy a walk with my family... And I can't! My body is too weak, my sleeve is being an ass and I'm regretting my decision today! Why can't I be one of the ones that can drink 64oz of water and 3 shakes a day? I know it will get better right? It has to. I know it's still fresh and new but I'm suppose to start soft solids on Monday and I can't tolerate full liquids. YA I've lost 25 pounds in 11 days, I'm happy about that ....but not really. My husband is very sad because he sees me like this. I'm depressed. I'm never sad. I'm always happy and cheerful.. What have I done? My kids need me fully functioning.... I just wanna scream... Rant over

I think it's normal but if it gets worse make an appt. did you feel around it ? Is it only that spot?

Yep I got that too. So strange lol. It's kinda cool because I was always the sweaty girl and now I'm cold. I went to a wedding yesterday and it was packed. I was dancing with my husband and 15 minutes in I wasn't sweating like a pig and I wasn't even tired! My hair stayed perfect as well as my make up because I wasn't sweating! That's cool!
