Any Newbies dealing with hardships with clear liquids? I am four days post-op and already beyond over sugar free pops, broth and sugar free regular jello gelatin. My esophagus feels like it is in fire, and the gas is beyond repairable. I started eating chocolate sugar free pudding, and truthfully half a cup filled me up. I can deal mentally more sufficiently feeling filled. Then hearing my stomach rumble and holding a full coversation with my moms dog who since my wls gas not left my side. I am curious about being able to eat life cereal with blue diamond almond original milk and equal? I am truly trying to stick to the proposed diet rather then just going on what feels good in comfort eating... Help...
