@@Miracle - Our puppy sleeps with us, but I still wanted to play it safe… My husband slept out in the living room on the couch with our dog and in the bed with he freshly laundered sheets

Did your doctor give you a puree stage or do you go straight from liquids to soft foods? I'm in a week of puree (the pintos (mashed) and cheese count as puree) then start soft foods in Thursday. All the docs are so different!

I am 8 days out and had 2 pureed scrambled eggs, no problem. But trying to remind myself that the nerves involved in my gastric bypass and not sending me the right signals for awhile. I was surprised that I could eat two eggs as well, but my keep it to one until I have more healing time under my belt (no pun intended!

@@edie091371 Sounds like a plan! We got a Gringos out here in Cypress a couple of years ago and it is till one of my favs

You get it at Taco Bell! It is really just refried beans with some cheese on top. It is served in a small container, so the size is not overwhelming, either. I know I can make the same at home, but somehow it is better when someone else makes it and it feels like a special treat

mine probably days that too, lol, I'm just a big milk drinker (now LOVING Fairlife white milk) and started having some a couple days ago... So happy I can still tolerate it!

I'm so glad your first full feeling was positive. I had my first full feeling last Sunday but it quickly shifted to over full and I felt sick to my stomache for over an hour. Now when I get close to full I stop and wait to see if my body needs to catch up and tell me I'm full. At this point satisfied is a way better feeling than overfilled lol.

@@kvoneye, Yay! Enjoy!

I've been eating cream of wheat in the morning mixed with almond milk... @edie91372, are you able to eat purees, yet?

Same here... I've been doing great and then quickly became bloated and uncomfortable... could not even pass gas. I took some miralax, but needed something immediate... Resorted to glycerin suppositories (I know, yuck and tmi, so sorry!) and it helped almost immediately... I was miserable last night but much better today!

I have the same fear, lol! My surgeon laughed when I joked about it, said he attached it better than that. But still! Having this surgery sometimes makes me feel like I'm pregnant again... My abdomen has been transformed into this life-changing new entity with all the worries that come with it, lol. With every gas pain I have to remind myself that it is not a baby's foot or hiccup

That is awesome, @@edie091371!

Fairlife is so good… I was a big skim milk drinker and worried about not being able to tolerate milk after the surgery. I've had the Fairlife chocolate before, but I bought some white and about died. So creamy and yummy! Better for you, too!

I have trouble with cold now too

@@sleevemylife - Yay! Congratulations!

@@60&goin4it - Yes! Also, I found @@edie091371 and I think I found you, but let me know if my request did not come through!

You've got this!

@@kvoneye - Lol, I worried the same… Let's just say I was a big wine drinker before starting my 2 week pre op liquids… I kept thinking, "my poor liver may need more than just two weeks to dry out!", but post surgery my doctor told my husband that the surgery went perfectly and he had no problems whatsoever… even said, and I quote, "she has good insides", lol… Don't worry, you will be fine and best of luck for the surgery!

@ - I'm doing great, thanks so much for asking! I get tired quickly, still have some pain, and I'm bored to death with full liquids, but other than that I am doing good, lol I see my doctor tomorrow and I think he will put me on purees, so I'm looking forward to that! Do you have a surgery date?

@@edie091371 - So happy to hear you are back on track! I know what you mean about nesting… I had my own little area in my bedroom and I rested there often, but today I tried to do too much and just about collapsed in my nest mid-evening. I have to remind myself we've had major surgery and it will not all click overnight. Other than the birth of my 3 boys, this is just the first major medical experience I've had and I'm learning what I can and can't do in the beginning.

Very best of luck and well wishes for your surgeries today @Cherry Muffley & @julbel721 & @sleevemylife & @pimmar & @Dub & @lili2333 & @chavonjb! We will be thinking of you and know you will be awesome!

Lol, no Halloween surgeries, yet!?! Having your insides re-arranged, it is the perfect day for surgery

Yes, @@60&goin4it, we are blessed… Ron's complications break my heart, he was so excited and supportive… this is the last thing he would want. Please let us know of any news… I am trying to get in here often, but I get behind and can not catch up! Edie091371, too… Do we know if she is home from the hospital? Regarding my stomach, it is so bloated - and my face has thinned out just enough - that people have started to look at my stomach during our conversations, lol… I want to scream, "No, I am not pregnant! Don't you dare ask!", lol. I am ready to not ever hear that question again! Any idea when the bloating/extra fluids evacuate our bodies? I have not seen an average time… 1 week out? 2 weeks? A month!?!

I have not had a BM yet either and bugs me, too. Yet I have had gas, so I know everything is connected correctly, lol, I guess. I am so ready for pureed foods, so bored with the liquids.
