You can have tomato soup? Ive been craving tomato soup but wasnt sure if I was allowed

For my post op liquid diet I can only have milk, yogurts, protein drinks, and broth. Its a very boring diet. Im starting to hate protein drinks.

Thats a really good idea. I've been using a tervis cup thats 24 ounces and trying to tell myself to finish it before my next meal. Its definitely helping me get closer to my goal each day.

No I know exactly what you mean! Its so confusing!

Yeah she told me to get in as much as I can lol.

I emailed my bariatric nurse and she told me to go ahead and take a softener. I'm probably backed up because ive been having trouble with getting my fluids.

I just wasnt sure if stool softener was safe 5 days out of surgery

I dont have a problem peeing its the other one ive been struggling with. Sorry for tmi

Any tips on getting that first bm? Ive felt pretty close a few times but im afraid to push it out. Will the first one hurt?

My surgery was on the 20th and I feel like ill never be able to drink enough water. Im glad to hear its not just me struggling.

Well my loan got denied. I'm not really sure what to do now. All I know is I have to save money as fast as I can.

@@lexiemustang I looked up care credit and my doctor doesn't approve it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanks. I just want it to work out. I know not everything works out when you want it to sometimes it takes longer.

Thanks

My husband and I's credit is not very good but we applied for a medical loan anyways to cover what my insurance can't or won't cover. I'm so nervous about hearing back from the loan company. I'm afraid that if this doesn't pan out it'll be my last chance at getting my surgery. I know its out of my hands right now but it doesn't make me any less nervous. Anyone out there with less than great credit get a medical loan?
