Before my surgery, we used to get low carb tortillas and bake them till crispy (both sides), then we'd top them off just like a regular pizza - pop back in the oven followed by the broiler, and it makes a pretty darn good "pizza" at a quarter of the calories of traditional pizza.

Just keep it simple 600-800 a day and move your ass and you will shred pounds!

I've named my new stomach Ariel, as in the mermaid. She's a Pisces and was born on March 3rd 2020, 2 weeks old today. She talks and gurgles, noisy little girl. I'm singing Under the Sea in my head as I type this, lmaooooo.

I'm 12 days post-op and it does get easier. I agree to try experimenting with hot vs. cold. For me, I found I did better with cold liquids. Now, at 12 days, I can do both cold and warm.

Your fluids like broth also count. Your urine should be very light yellow.

Thank you all for your encouragement... Increasing my fluids is something that I know I have to do... I’ve been sipping but so far have not been able to do a full 64oz... just going to be more intentional with the sipping set that as my goal. 64oz minimum...

Had my sleeve on March 4th 2020.. they also fixed a hiatal hernia. I feel exhausted. Still have allot of discomfort in my lower chest when I drink. It’s hard to take in that much liquid but I do it..

I also had surgery on 3/10/20 and can relate to missing being able to chew foods. So far what's been helping are popsicles. Right now, they're the firmest thing we are allowed post-op and I'm getting a lot of satisfaction being able to bite into them. I agree with Hop_Scotch about not advancing to the next stage until they give us the go ahead. I don't know about you but I'm still very sore and sensitive and while I crave being able to chew on something, we would be doing more damage to ourselves if we try to speed up the process. They should have given you some sort of paperwork or something that tells you when you can move to the puree stage. For me its after 2 weeks so on March 24.
