Also a former smoker (10 yrs ago) and I chew all the time, my doc says it's fine (sugar free). Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I chew gum all the time. Doc said it was no problem and I'm not worried about swallowing it because I'm not 12. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I am 12 days out and had cream of wheat today for the first time. I made it using my vanilla Protein shake as milk. Delicious and filling. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I am not starting soft foods until later this week. I'm doing cream Soups or homemade soups (mother in law made me a "bone soup" - supposedly has a good amount of protein). I've been getting most of my protein in from the shakes though. I use Premier Protein. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I don't think so. We had surgery same day and I had a rough few days after coming home but now I feel pretty good. What are you eating/drinking? Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Yes, that's gas. It sucks. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Yes, it hurts! Just remember it's temporary, that's what is kept me sane. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

And I can barely get anything down now. Yesterday I was sipping like a champ. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on the 5th. Came home yesterday and have been in so much pain. I've walked, heating pad, etc. I know it's only temporary but damn this sucks. I wish I had an extra night in hospital with all the good iv pain killers. Had no pain until that all wore off. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Same here. Some discomfort but able to walk and "eat" a bit. Definitely burping but not too bad. I feel much better than anticipated. Good luck to you going home today. Can't wait to sleep in my own bed. Keep me posted. Toni Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Good luck everyone! Had mine yesterday, still feeling pretty good. Going for a walk shortly. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery this morning too. Apparently they did my leak test while I was in surgery??? I've been drinking water, broth and tea since I woke up. Very small sips but so far so good. Love my pain meds too. I've walked twice to the bathroom with not too much discomfort. Best wishes to everyone! Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Oh no! Good luck staying well. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App
