A New KK

I was so looking forward to today's meal. I prepared 4 oz scrambled eggs. I managed to gag down 2 ounces. Small pain as the food was going down. Now I feel bloated and disgusting. Feel like I'm going to throw up and I'm belching and mucus is coming up. All in all not quite what I fantasized. Maybe the scrambled eggs were too dry. Anyway the dog enjoyed his delicious egg Breakfast. Any tips on what/how you ate when you started soft foods.

I had my procedure 11/19/2015. I gained 7 lbs post op. Since then I went down six and then back up 1. I have had nothing but Protein shakes and Clear liquids. I find chicken broth particularly satisfying but wondering if the sodium is affecting this. Also, I can't always gag down 3 Protein Shakes a day. Some days it is only two and Thanksgiving I only drank one because I had two bowls of chicken broth that day. I thought the weight would be down a little by now. I had managed to lose 20 lbs prior to the pre-op diet. Lost five more during the pre-op but since surgery I'm still actually up two lbs. I need a little encouragement. Also, I don't know if I'm experiencing real hunger or head hunger. Woke up this morning hungry and was hungry Thanksgiving day and yesterday.

My surgery was 11/19/15 and my surgeon told me I got his 3 for 1 deal as he removed my gallbladder and repaired a hiatal hernia at the same time. I too have pain in the center of my chest when I sip and not sure if it's from the hernia surgery or from the sleeve. It has gotten a little better each day and I was able to get down 3 Protein drinks yesterday for the first time. It's getting better but today for Thanksgiving it's going to be hard. I was going to make pumpkin pie but didn't for fear I'd have to taste the batter to make sure it was spiced properly.

I was at 49% and my insurance approved without the 6 month period. I lost 25 lbs pre-op. 20 due to job loss and 5 from pre-op diet. I am only 5 days post op and I am still retaining fluids from the surgery. My weight is actually up 7 lbs. Waiting for it to start the other way.
