Left shoulder pain after VSG post-op
I had left shoulder pain and I felt pain under my left breast as soon as I woke up from surgery. It took about 3-4 days to pass. I walked a lot in the hospital

Eating certain things?
Tried really tender pulled pork, but not too greasy because I heard that can mess up your stomach as well.

Eating certain things?
Well if it's worth the try, I've had deviled eggs. I'm two weeks post op almost. They go down pretty smoothly. Someone told me not to do a hard scrambled egg because they sit like bricks. I think the red meat thing is pretty common as I hear it takes a while for that. My friend couldn't take it until after a year.

Not to ask a stupid question. Have you tried preparing certain things differently? How do you make your eggs?

How far post op are you? Mhmmm from other post I've seen it's a popular thing during puréed along with the suggestions you ladies gave.

1st Puréed Day!
So I ended up trying puréed chili. I tolerated it fine, a few grumbles but nothing crazy. The look kind of killed the enjoyment for me, and so did the texture lol it still beats liquids. I couldn't finish much- I'm not sure if that's out of fear or that I'm full (I can't really tell when I'm full) it was canned chili so the taste was okay, but I'll be making some homemade chili now that I know it goes down okay.

Hey! I'm 8 days post op and I wanted to know if this is normal? I'm still on full liquids and after I have my soups about 15 mins later I have to use the restroom (poop). Is this normal?

What's your starting weight?

Theme parks
I haven't been since I've been embarrassed, sadly. One of the coasters I went on came over the head, but also over the thigh area. The one on my abdomen closed but they couldn't get the thigh one to snap. I had people looking at me as the person tried to close it. I end up getting up and off the ride, I felt like all eyes were on me. I also felt I embarrassed my family. I kind of don't want to go back until I've lost a significant amount of weight (8 days post op ATM) I can't wait to go though!

5 days out, not feeling great at the moment
Lol trust me, I know! I cried about it twice. It's weird to be crying about it but I guess people who aren't going through this wouldn't understand. It's not just a physical change.

5 days out, not feeling great at the moment
lol I'm 6 days post op and I'm feeling the same way. Try sugar free chocolate pudding [emoji4] I'm on liquids until the 2nd of June. From the recipes I've seen puréed is something to look forward to. Ummm I've had beef tripe soup broth, yummy. Also if you're on full liquids, you should be able to have creamier soups, so I will be trying broccoli cheddar soup. I was under the impression that my appetite wouldn't be there but I have hunger pangs and everything.
