I'm doing well with the fluids but not so much with the shakes. They're thick. It's hard to get them down. Got any tricks?

Oh no. I'm so sorry. Hopefully the med change will help. My follow-up is tomorrow. I'm on full-liquid for 21 days post-op, so I will be liquid until January 1. I'm beginning to get creative!

My surgery was 12/10. I was hungry yesterday for the first time. My sister is 2 years post-op & has been super helpful. I had a slice of the Laughing Cow Babybel cheese and that did the trick. It's super soft and my surgeon approved it under my full liquid. For breakfast today I had cream of wheat but I made it with a vanilla Adkins Plus Protein shake instead of water/milk. I made it soupy and I was only able to eat about 3 tablespoons, but I've been full for over 2 hours now!

You look ahhhhh-mazing!!

Omg girl! Look at you, Hottie! Congratulations. Good work! You look fabulous.

The gas was terrible for me the first 3 days! I'm feeling fantastic now though! Good luck today. Please share how it goes!

Hey Zebby! Another surgery twin! I was the 10th too!

Ahhh! I have not been counting my other liquids! Thank you AJP!

I am now 5 days post-op and struggling to get enough water. Anyone else? I am trying so hard but I can only get a few little sips down every. Any tips on how you do it? I'm barely getting 20-30oz down each day. 

Yes, we do!

My mother bought me a spanx body suit Tuesday evening. I've been wearing it pretty much ever since. It has helped tremendously. Walking is easier with it on, and standing/sitting is easier too. This will all be worth it! My sister is 14mth post-op and has lost over 130lbs. I'm holding on to that! [emoji5]

How are you feeling now?

Good Luck today!!

How about you?

Sore. Uncomfortable really. Gas has moved into my left hip.[emoji45]

I was December 10 too!
