I'm at my 1st post op visit [emoji4]. I hope my diet options change to a level where I can eat eggs?.

My sips hurt too if I swallow to hard and I'm tense. I now sip slowly and relax with every sip. It works. I feel I was just overthinking it and would tighten up my stomach before I sip. My doctor let me go home with drinking only half of the 64. I'm now doing a lot better. Just take your time and relax. You can do it

I go to the doctors Tuesday as well. I want scrambled eggs. I haven't had hunger pains yet but I want to eat some thicker food. I'll even take a protein shake. I have been getting heartburn from the liquids. Have you experienced that?

FlyAwayFree I had my surgery on 10/29 as well. I was on an emotional rollercoaster for the past 2 days. I got out the hospital on the 31st. I was fine but I couldn't get the 64 fl ozs of liquid in. I felt like a failure. I thought I was getting dehydrated and I was going to need to go back to the hospital. I didn't want to tell anyone how I was feeling because I didn't want them to look at me as a failure as well. So yesterday I had a talk with myself that I know I got this and I know I can do it. After my last drink of water before bed last night i drank 81.5 fl ozs of water......yay. Hopefully the talk with myself fixed me. And hopefully my emotions are back in check. Did you get nausea medications? I wasn't taking mine but I did yesterday. No nausea now. It's so hard for me to drink just water. I made myself drink 1.5 bottles because my urine was getting so dark. This group is such a life saver. I love it. So don't ever feel alone just bring it to the group. We can all help each other. You got this FlyAwayFree. You are amazing for taking the 1st step to change the rest of your life [emoji6]

They took my drain out the day of discharge on 10/29. I was told not to put ointments on it. They said to just let it dry out. I did wash and pat dry. I was told I didn't have to cover it back up after I took their bandages off. My drain incision is completely closed with a scab now and its only been a few days

I had a drain. I got home on the 29th and it's already closed. I still have the glue on my other 6 incisions. Its starting to peel off. Hopefully it won't take long because it itch

I talked to my nurse today about my BM. I have not had one since Monday 10/29. She said its normal because I haven't had any food. She said to give it a week or so then if know changes to talk to my doctor about it. I haven't taken the pains meds. I don't really have pain nor nausea. Today I drank really cold water to fast while walking on the treadmill and it made me feel different but not sick

Can you drink the hot chocolate this week? I got out the hospital on the 31st. I would love some hot chocolate

They told me not to worry about protein right now. They said try to get the liquid in this week and next week we will work on protein

I'm struggling with my liquids as well [emoji852]

@yvonne47 how do you find the bariatric store?

Thanks @JoshM and all the other bariatric partners for telling me about the bone in broth. I bought two kinds. I'm going to try one tonight

I'll go to the grocery store and look for the Swanson. When I look it up online it showed me this powder

It's really high so I mix it with water. I'm going to get the bone broth so I can get more protein

I'm going to go look for it at gnc store

I've never seen bone broth before. Where do you buy it?

I use this pregresso chicken broth

The sugar free popsicles are great. The broth I have to eat at room temp or it will make my stomach ache. I just need to work on my protein. I've only had 20 grams today

From my one week on clear liquids until my surgery I lost 10 lbs. Since surgery I've lost another 5 lbs. It's so exciting.

I don't feel hungry yet. It's only been 4 days since my surgery. I'm so done with the liquid. If I could have my protein shakes maybe I will feel more satisfied

I did get the chewables. I haven't taken any yet my doctor said wait until Tuesday. That will be one week post op.

I'm making myself drink 6 to 8 ozs per hour. Every 15 minutes I drink 2 ozs. It has gotten easier since I've been home. I don't want to go back to the hospital. The Crystal light taste good and so does the Premier protein clear

I am doing a lot better. I did have a little back pain last night. That's because I'm sleeping awkward. Trying to get all my fluids in early. I'm up to 20 ozs so far this morning. I had to drink 32 ozs before they would release me from the hospital yesterday. I don't feel hungry yet. Oh the nurse told me to eat sugar free popsicles they count as 2 ozs. Ask for some popsicles.

They didn't send me an email as promised with the tracking number. I called the 800 # and they gave me the tracking info. I got my vitamins some time last week. It only took a week to deliver. You have to keep calling them which is crazy. I ordered them the 17th and they were shipped the 19th.

Does anyone else get your vitamins and B12 from Nutrition Direct? My insurance covers them all every 28 days so I don't pay nothing out of pocket
