Kathy 0522 got a reaction from jazzyj13 in One month post op sadness!
I am 1 month out and feel the exact same way. I honestly would feel better if i didnt eat or drink anything. I know i cant do that but eating is a struggle. No real solid foods yet , and how much can you chew applesauce. Even the Protein Drinks are just too thick. I thin them out. I keep trying to introduce new foods and dri ks but i need to be careful so i dont develop an aversion to them. I know its mainly mental, but the gag reflex happens in an heartbeat. Laying down all the time is troubling.
This is certainly NOT me

I stayed two nights. It helped me stabilize which was a good thing.

Kathy 0522 got a reaction from Frustr8 in Does Walmart rotisserie chicken have too much sodium?
im entering my 3rd week and struggling to get enough Protein that isnt all shakes. I just bought one of those chickens. De-boned it. Threw all the bones into the stock pot. Cleaned out the refridg of odds and ends of vegetables. I also threw away the skin but left in the gel part. I simmered it, strained the broth and set it in the refrigerator over night. I skimmed the fat this morning. Then took all the bits and pieces of chicken and pureed it. This eve i used about a ladle of the congealed broth, added veg , finely chopped and simmered till VERY soft. Added a tablespoon or so of chicken to the broth and seasoned it to taste. It was so comforting. I look a looooong time to eat 1\2 cup or so. I simply must take it slow with the food. Otherwise, only pureed foods thus far and liquids
My husband will have some meals of the larger pieces of chicken.
Im resting and napping quite a bit during the day.
A couple of good days, then a set back. i finally have had a couple of full nights sleep

Kathy 0522 reacted to Sunshinekn2 in Any March 2019 Sleevers?
I was sleeved March 8th!!
Pros: I’ve lost twenty pounds!!
Cons: I’ve had EXTREME incision site pain...it has gone down a lot in the past two weeks, but it’s still painful. It didn’t help that my doc only sent me across the border with four pain pills and can’t prescribe in the U.S. 🤦🏼♀️ If I do too much I’m absolutely knocked out and I can’t wear anything that isn’t loose around my incisions (pants, shorts, leggings, etc.) or I’m absolutely dying lol.
I guess I’m wondering if anyone’s had similar experiences with the pain?
