I go to the dollar store and get the wylers packets to put in water bottles. Also using propel packets in water. Cheapest is at Walmart

I'm 2 weeks plus from post op and dealing with eating fine but I am getting extremely bad migraine style headaches. Anyone else have or had these issues? Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've been ok'd by the doc to take Tylenol with caffeine but it doesn't help.

I'm 2 weeks post up. Every time I eat eat or drink seconds to moments later I can feel and audibly hear the back of my throat make a gurgling sound. Is this normal? If so when will it stop?

I'm feeling the same way. I'm not sure if I'm dehydrated or not? That was my problem in the hospital with my recovery even though I was eating the ice all day and night. I always worry also what if I have too much will my sleeve burst. Good luck.

I was just cleared by the doctor to start the purée diet early.

Congrats. I'm only 1 week ahead of you and it does get better.

Has anyone gone against doctors orders and moved into the 2 weeks puréed stage after the first week? Is it bad to do so? Opinions? Issues?

Just had mine this past Friday. The walking is tough. Do what you can. Day 2 is rough mentally. Here to talk and share. Good luck.

Yes this is my first surgery. No hernia. I am feeling post surgery depression about food. I already miss it. Jello and crystal light is not my idea of a meal. Crushing my pills was so disgusting tasting. I've done chicken broth which is probably the only highlight of my days so far. Thanks for the assurance on the hollow feeling. I figured as much.

So I am finally home. I am trying to figure out whether I am hungry or not. Every time I sip on some broth or have a sip of my water I feel like I feel everything going down and am worried it's gonna all come up. Also I was wondering how long my belly & stomach will have that hollow feeling. It's very uncomfortable to lay down. Please help.
