You Sir are a brave brave man. lol I did something similar with some Won Ton Soup I had about a week post op, except I chewed up all of the vegetables in it and spit them out.
To be fair though, while certainly unhealthy, my cousin, who also had the sleeve done, said she lived off of McDonald's cheeseburgers for the first several months after her surgery as soon as she was able to eat solids.
I get scared anytime I put anything in my mouth that I know I'm not supposed to. At this point, I'm more worried about rupturing my staple line than anything else. I imagine that 6 weeks out(when I should be able to tolerate most foods), I'll start being a lot braver, which could be a dangerous thing.
I think the key is to reign it back after you mess up. Knowing that there can be dire consequences to bad choices helps with that.

I am sorry smcobos2. It will be here before know it. Hang in there.

I felt like that last night and got really nauseated. Took some phenergan and it put me out cold. Feeling better this morning. Those cheese things look amazing! I'm scared of going off my "ok" list from the surgeon though. Probably will just stick to licking pretzels hahaha!

Lol! @@Disciple I did today! I was so happy! My body felt so much better

I'm counting the hours down to pureed foods. I still have 10 days left of fluids. Yuck!

@@rosieuk, it's hard on all of our households but we will be better for all of them in a few weeks! Hang in there!!

I have had the same feelings Rosie. Just remember this is the hardest part and soon things will fall into a new healthy normal! It's really helped me having all of you guys to chat with!

Definitely been a lot of ups and downs over the past week but I am feeling pretty good today. I do have thrush from the oral pain medication so the doctor called in some nystatin for that. Good with fluids today and started eating pureed today. I am holding off to weigh myself until I go back to work on the 1st but I can't wait to see that number go down!

I didn't think anyone would know where I live. It is great place to raise a family. I love summers here.

I've been to Puyallup! My husband was in the navy from 2000 to 2004. We stayed in Everett and Bremerton. Oh how I miss it!! It's my life goal to make it up there again
Yay! Thank you Abby!

Cinnamon is on my "ok to spice things up with" list from my surgeon. I say go for it!

Beautiful spring day in London. I was feeling down this morning too but I've felt better this afternoon. Hardest thing is not being able to lift my children. I'm proud of myself today. I've managed frozen juice, Soup and milk today. So much better than yesterday

Disciple Glad you're ok!
It's not that the food advertisements are making me hungry, I just never noticed how much they're around everywhere.

Feel the same way. I'm noticing food advertisements everywhere! I tried to avoid pinterest but I actually looked today to find Soup recipes and that was a mistake lol I can't wait to be able to have oatmeal mmm and a creamy soup

Glad I'm not alone! I was on pinterest earlier looking for recipes for the soft stage and that was probably a mistake! I'm sick of all my fluids too and today is only day 2. Argh!

So is anyone else feeling like 2 weeks is going to be REALLY long without food? ?? I know if I ate anything solid I'd get sick...but the smells of food and seeing it on tv is really driving me nuts!

Yea I think that's what it is. Thanks girls :-)

Thank you for support! I feel a lot better today. Woke up at 1:30 am and walked around my house for about 45 min. It helped immensely :-)

I'm so glad I can talk about this with you guys. I definitely don't feel alone. And yea I should have asked for a heavier pain med. @@VSGMama I've had 2 c sections as well!! They were a piece of cake compared to this surgery!

But the thing that has helped me the most is you guys! ♡♡♡ I feel like I am not alone. Or not doing it by myself! Thank you everyone!♡♡♡♡♡

So far I'm only drinking Water. I've been slowly drinking my Protein Shake. I am having trouble with the pain after I drink something. Do you have this problem too? It's taking me a whole day just to finish a bottle of water I'm a bit worried about that

@abbyrn27. How does that Unjury taste? Are you mixing it with the power ade?

@@abbyrn27 I'm taking protoix for reflux and Tylenol with codeine

Great words of wisdom from everyone. I'm still debating on spreading the word. I had my surgery 2 days ago. A few close friends and my family are very supportive. I'm very lucky to have them. I just need to prepare myself on what to say when an acquaintance asks me.
