    Maybe I need to try tea because I never drink Water cold anyway I prefer room temp .. and so far room temp and cold are big no nos ... are you still on liquids if so what are you eating these days because I can't seem to eat anything but sugar free pops and sugar free pudding ... everything else the smell alone makes me sick

    Yes I'm on liquids until day 16 *sigh* I'm still trial and error with everything so far the only things I like are sf pudding, fudgesicles, and my crystal light, still trying to find a Protein powder I like because as of now I use GENEPRO but don't know if I should trust it has 30 grams or not.

    My doctor's office recommended a product called powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. You have to order it from their website, but they deliver quickly.

    I like them because they have a sample pack for about $21, and you get 2 packets each of their Protein shakes, 2 of their chicken broth, and 2 unflavored. The kit also comes with a mixing plastic tumbler and a thermometer. This way I can try it inexpensively. So far, I've tried the Soup and it was good!

    Just a recommendation.

    I had mine on Jan 23rd and boy oh boy am I struggling to get any kind of liquid down without this burning and painful sensation in my chest. Is this happening to you guys?

    I had mine on the 23rd also. I am having a problem getting my liquids in. I seem too be ravenous, and when I drink a little Water or Water w/crystal light, I get full right away. I've been mainly eating SF popsicles and sf Jello. I try to sip all day, but it is a struggle. I think it will get better though. One day at a time.

    I think it would be great to share our lows and our highs. Share our journey together. So, if you're a female, (nothing againist you men) its just women I can talk with

    Please send me a message. Thank you!

    Misty

    I am 3 days post-surgery. I have not suffered with gas pains, our pain from my incisions. I've just been sore, but it is manageable. I did stay in the hospital overnight, and had the leak test the following morning. Once I was cleared from the leak test, I was given the okay for Clear liquids, but did not have much of an appetite. When the NUT came by to check on me, she said that was perfectly normal.

    I feel recovery has been smooth so far, just trying to get in all of my liquids. I have hunger pains, but I'm not hungry for anything in particular. I just hope things to go smoothly!

    I planned to take off for a week. However, during my final consult before surgery, my surgeon said that he gives patients 4-6 weeks, although they could possibly go back to work earlier. He said it's not so much the pain, but that patients have a hard time adjusting to how they have to eat post-surgery. Fortunately, I have incredible support from my leadership, so I'll be off for a week, and plan on teleworking for 3 weeks. I am currently 3 days post-op as of 1/26/17. We'll see how it goes.
