    I’ve struggled with protein intake but not too bad. Def hitting my fluid ounces or very close to it. But starting to feel a lack of calories or substance. I’m not hungry per se. just feeling like I need something more substantive.

    By blended soups, do you mean like sipping soups (campbells sells a variety of super smooth blend like sipping soups).

    So are you able to do soups or just broths this first week? And thank you for this advice! Definitely going to incorporate this into my day. Pain actually got better even after writing my post. A couple large gas bubbles released makes such a huge difference.

    Ok so update (sleeved on 11/11): Tylenol w/ codiene barely keeps pain away but it’s bearable. Lots of discomfort due to gas but walking definitely helps. Once a large gas bubble gets out, it’s great. I feel it just builds again and is in that kind of constant cycle right now but less and less discomfort each day. Although it’s only been 2nd full day home. I feel like my upper abdomen is still quite swollen and tender. Anyone else have this? Coughing and just getting up and down hurts. I’m looking forward to all that going away. Sipping is the name of the game. Even small sips can hurt. Have to give it a couple seconds and the pain goes away. Multi chew made me feel I had to puke but it didn’t happen. Other than that, no sever nausea. What about everyone else?

    Just did my sleeve yesterday! All seems well so far. Just started liquid diet today which I was so ready for. Ice chips all day yesterday was horrible. Pain was managed with meds. The amount of Tylenol given at one point was so gross but I haven’t thrown up at all. Excited to be on this side if it. For me, it’s a little easier than I expected.

    For everyone’s pre-op liquid diet - I think some surgeons have different requirements. Mine say “anything that can be sipped through a straw and no lumps or clumps at all”. So they are fine with puréed Soup for instance. I am loving the soup option and have some on the go smooth Soups. Do yo think that’s okay? I am certain my surgeon is fine with it but curious what others are saying.

    Hey fellow November sleevers! Anyone else not be required to start the liquid diet until a week before surgery? Mine starts tomorrow. Surgery is 11/11. I’m seeing a different consensus in this app.
