I would honestly prepare to be mostly drinking protein shakes at that point. I was allowed to eat at 3 weeks post op (soft foods) but for the first two months shakes felt the best in my new stomach. I really liked eggs (scrambled or deviled), canned chicken with light mayo, yogurt with flavorless protein.

I have the implant in my arm (nexolanon) and I had it 3 years before surgery. I love it pre op and post op!

I went to target and got a small one similar to the nutribullet. It was obviously a lot cheaper and I don't use it often. I use premiere protein because it has only 1 G sugar and 30 G protein in 11 oz. I love that I can just keep them in the fridge and grab and go.

The only thing that worked for me is cutting simple carbs out, and stop eating pastas, breads ect. This is obviously a lot easier post op.

My nut does not let me count protein in my fluid intake. It gets easier. Although drinking (maybe it be protein, water, or G2) is seriously like a full time job. I'm almost 7 months post op and I meet all my goals.

I have Cigna as well and it didn't even take a week. I went for my weight and date (hadn't been approved yet) and scheduled it for 2 weeks out. I was approved very fast.

It happens. Some days I just feel ick, for lack of a better word. Here and there I have days that food is not appealing and I want nothing to do with anything. Those days I stick to liquid and give my body what it wants. It could be anything though, a stomach bug or you could just be off. I wouldn't worry too much till it's a persistent thing.

I was on clear liquids for the first 3 days, then the next two weeks all liquids (mainly protein shakes), the next two weeks purée food or mushy foods, then after that in morse ration most foods that aren't carbs and then eased my way in to meats such as chicken breast ect. She really needs to take it slow and trust the process.

The heating pad was my best friend. It helped so much with the gas and discomfort. Feel better!

I took 3 weeks and needed every day. Im a bank teller. The pain was for about a week but I then had other issues with vitamins, vomiting, and discomfort after. I was also always tired so the three weeks was perfect time

I'm 4 months post op and I have recently had gallbladder issues. I should be getting mine removed shortly.

My first week post op I lost 14 pounds. 14 pounds in 7 days frightened me a bit and my surgeon said enjoy it while it last. And now in losing slower for sure. I've lost 60 pounds in about 4 months.

I wouldn't stress either because you have no idea how much weight you gained in the hospital with the IV.

I had subway. My love for carbs is real and I knew I wouldn't be able to eat a sandwich for a while if ever

I loved deviled eggs at that stage! Sorry that's not a good suggestion but I didn't eat much at that stage, eggs and canned chicken were my go too.
