Hope recovery is going well!!

Jello and yogurt yes. pudding only 4 oz/day. Tonight I ate 1 tbsp part skim ricotta with 1 tbsp pureed chicken mixed together. With some tomato sauce maybe 2 tsp worth and sprinkled some low fat mozzarella on top. I thought it was good. Ate 3/4 of it. Lots of tunafish/ chicken/ egg salad

Did my 2 weeks on clears. Started pureed. Made 1 scrambled egg. 4 very small a bites later. DONE. Lmao. Kind of disappointing lol!!! Down 20 pounds though!!!

How long post op are you? Could be infection, could be a hematoma. I would absolutely call your surgeon.

I have that weird indentation too. I wonder if that will happen to me. Lol I'll freak out probably hahaha

Haha same here! I did a chicken with a little guac. Ate 1 1/2 tbsp (maybe) so full after for hours. I never thought I would have to force food in!!

Thoughts prayers and love being sent your way.

Have been since the 19th... So not fun

The hiccups I get as well. My surgeon said its typical at first. He felt like I was probably getting air into my stomach from my water bottle etc. he said well just monitor it.

I've seriously have had a runny nose since surgery.... Has this happened to anyone? Lol.

Your enthusiasm is contagious. You will go far with that positive attitude! ???? On a side note, white chicken chili? That sounds awesome! I just started puréed and I'm writing up recipes for when I get to each stage. Cheers to much success on your journey!

It would really depend on your Protein goal. Since mine is 100 grams a day, I would have to have 35 grams of protein a meal (which is just not realistic for me). I can see it being possible if your protein goal was 70 grams. But, 70 grams is really low.Not only that but your body can't absorb more than 30 gms and hour so any meal with more than that is wasted protein. This is when Snacks come in handy. A protein rich, nutritious snack with about 10 -15 gms of protein is a life saver. For the OP. One of the things I do is split one bottle of Isopure Nocarb clear drink into 3 parts. I then add it to my 24 ounce Water bottle and refill that at least twice. Anytime I am not eating, I'm sipping. Isopure NoCarb drinks are 40gms. of protein per 20 ounce bottle. Between that and my meals I can easily hit my protein and Fluid goals. I having such a hard time getting my protein in. I'm going to try that! Thank you for the suggestion. Any flavors that you like best?

As far as I recall its because liquids fill your stomach when you need to be getting the protein and nutrients first with food.

Congrats on the 23 pounds!!!! That's awesome!!!!! I seriously was full and laughing because I couldn't believe I couldn't eat the whole egg lol. It's defiantly a different feeling, that's for sure!!!

I'm 10 days post op. I've been getting in 40-55 fluids. I don't feel dehydrated at all. I've only been able to get in 1 protein shake a day though. my team is gonnnna be madddd. Lol I'm mad but once I start drinking even the second one I feel like I'm gonna blow. I can't wait for pureed so I can actually get some protein in and add the unflavored in. We shall see. It's a learning process. I feel a little bit hungry today though.

I'm pretty sure tomato soup is on full liquid diet, for clears nope. I'm day 9 post op but was doing clears 2 days prior to surgery, let's just say I'm officially over all things liquids. Lol. Today was kind of rough for me though, I tried a new Protein shake (I've been having a hard time post op getting in shakes) and I threw up within an hour of drinking. Now I just feel off and have no desire to drink. It's been a set back but it's one day at a time. Good luck!

My mouth is watering too! Haha ????

Thanks ladies. I'm 8 days post op so just drinking fluids. I don't feel like I'm over doing it on fluids, I haven't even hit the max yet. I see my surgeon on Monday so I'll mention it

I'm right there with ya! I'm on 2 week clears but I can have protein shakes. However I am HATING them. They instantly make me feel sick. I've gotten in 1 a day! I can't wait to eat purred. I did stick a dime sized bite of mashed potatoes in my mouth. It was nice to feel something in there! Lol

Also sleeved on the 19th!!! I want to eat!!! I feel Water logged lol. I suffered with major nausea and vomittig so I was slow to start. I hit 49oz of Fluid today and 34g of Protein. I've only been able to tolerate 1 Protein shake, after the one i usually for sick for a good hour/two and then don't drink. I'm not going to lie I'm a RN and get all our post op sleeves and I'm struggling!! Lol it's a bit disappointing. I've defiantly cried a bunch! Walk walk walk walk to get rid of gas pain! Also I hear gas x helps

Hey guys! Sleeved on the 19th, 5 days post op. I got my period a week before surgery, it ended a couple of days prior to surgery and now I'm spotting, or possibly starting my period again. I am on the mini pill, and I was late taking my pill on first day post op because I was npo. Is this normal?! Thanks everyone!!

When I got out of surgery 3/10. Hard for me to get OOB to stand. You really use your core for that! Lol. That hurt the worst. My one incision on the right side still hurts and is uncomfortable but I'm able to deal with it. Took 3 hits of morphone post up (made me sick) never used again. And maybe 3 Vicodin total when I got home, just at night. (Hurts sleeping on your sides.) and so far no pain meds in 48 hours! The nausea and vomitting was much worst then the pain post op for me. I wasn't expecting that.

I'm feeling ok. A bit tired but I had a lot of nausea/vomitting post op. I feel like I'm doing ok. 5 days post op and I got 44oz of fluid in and 1 protein shake. For a total of 36g. Protein. I'm having a hard time getting in 3 shakes , it makes me nauseated and then I don't want to drink for a couple hours

I like this idea. I'm having a hard time but this might work better for me. I don't know if I'll get there right away but I'll try. Thanks for your suggestions. All your posts have been so helpful!!!

I can only get in 1 Protein Shake at 5 days post op and then I'm full for like 2-3 hrs and don't want to drink. It's exhausting! I'm happy I'm at least getting 1 in. I use Isopure chocolate with a tsp of PB2. It's a lot getting maybe 40 of Fluid in and it's rouggggh!!! I'm on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks and I can't wait to start puréed food. Lol it's been a struggle post op a lot of nausea and vomitting. Just sticking to 1 day at a time! Good luck fellow sleevers!
