1 week out and nerves are in full force
Hi death complication is pretty scary but remember that the other complications can mostly be managed if you get them. Even some with complications still would rather have the weight off and live with the complication. That said alot of people go through this fantastically with nothing bad happening. Its a personal decision remember why you started though ?

Eating egg muffin at 6 days Post Op
I would like for you to address the problem of people further out from surgery telling people who are a month out not to post. As you can see the triad here that keeps following me to every thread. I think you can choose to ban new people who just had surgery but having an mba that would be a bad business move because you lose their business. If you continue to allow the people further out to prevent new people from joining and posting then your business will not grow. I would like you to address all the rude people in this thread including silly kitty.

Feeling sick here and there.
If its happening after eating it could be the reactive hypoglycemia, one lady who had it was put on a zero carb diet and that helped her. I recommend getting a referral to an endocrinologist from you primary doctor. Let them run the labs they are specialized in it and will know better than anyone here. ?

Suggestions for the pre-op diet
Broths i like are "better than bullion" you can get a big container really cheap at costco. I would also advise "food funeral" where you eat a meal out of your favorite food it could be awhile before you have anything that tasty or your taste may change after surgery. I had pizza n breadsticks for mine. Preop wasn't fun but neither is post op diet. :|. However, you have lots of pounds lost to look forward to and when times get rough remember why you started this whole thing ?

Following this thread out of curiousity

Post op feelings
Hi! Thats what you can do during the puree phase of your diet. What diet phase are you in? I might have one of those infusions myself lol let me know how it went ?
-
Post op feelings
you will probably feel tired because after surgery we are in a calorie deficit and calories give us energy. As far as purees go i got a magic bullet blender )nutribullet be fine too) and u just make a simple egg salad (egg n mayo) or chicken salad (chicken mayo) and put it in there and blend it til mush. I thought about trying normal things like vienna sausage but hadnt got around to it before I was moved to soft foods. you might also be able to use one of those online sites to check your blood for vitamin deficiencies. There is a forum somewhere here for people who went to mexico that may have some tips too

Eating egg muffin at 6 days Post Op
No problem no the utube vid was fine and bad things can happen you are right. I saw one vid where a guy died due to going to the buffet right after surgery. I think its the bread(or breading) thats getting people. carb withdrawl of bread because as that one lady (scooter) posted they arent eating a whole can of tuna. I have also been sick and vomited some water saturday so can relate. I called my surgeon and have the option of going in for an outpatient iv. So atleast if we are struggling the surgeon can give us an iv boost for the water. She also said the water is more important than the protein this close to surgery so not to worry about protein so much. each day is a new day to try again for sure ?. Tonight i made the protein shake from protein powder and used almond milk tastes a little better but is thicker.

Skipping Puree Stage
You might actually be able to. Talk with your surgeon. I started puree but was switched to soft foods really early. Was able to tolerate egg over easy better than the shakes.
