I didn’t do the shakes either but quickly realized that they help tremendously just keep buying one at a time until you find one you like so far the one I like is Fa!rlife (chocolate) one shake will last me either 2 meals or sometimes 3

Perfect thank you!

Good morning m, got a question. For those in the purée face. Is anyone else not going to the bathroom with #2. It’s day 2 for me. I’m not feeling bad or any pain I just need things moving. Has anyone added any tea or something else?

When I started this whole process I was at 230 day of surgery 222 current weight 208 dr was very happy and he said looks good. Once I start eating he said that the weight lost will be 1-2 lbs a week. For the next 6 month to one year.

Omg yes!!!! Still it feel different and hurts sometimes I have to keep remember I can’t drink or eat anything unless I am fully upright. Hopefully it will start to subside mine did about 6 days post op.

Almost surgery buddies I was on the 15th. I took a zofran im terrified to throw up! They told me writing it down is a must! What are you planning on having as your first purée?

How’s everyone doing...today I’m 12 days post op. I think I relaxed a little too much yesterday and didn’t bother to write down the intake of water and I might’ve not drinking enough. Paying the consequences was nauseous and my heart rate went up a little bit having a Pedialyte popsicle in hopes that this will make it better!

I am 11 days post op and I had bruising as well it’s all gone now. About the red around the injection, I did a lot of fertility treatments and one thing I learn is let the alcohol completely dry. Do not rub with the cotton that has the alcohol. Hope that helps!

Best of luck for a speedy recovery!!! Just remember WALK WALK WALK

@Sabanfan. Thank you for your words! Your so right about the the amputee who still feels the leg. I have to head this her on! Love the support!

Got a question how are you guys dealing with your family eating? Today husband went out with my daughter and he asked if he can buy pizza and eat here I asked him to please eat it out. He did but then brought home the left overs which I threw away. But this is not the first time it’s been very difficult as I feel hungry. Not head hungry my stomach is growling hungry. When I have something of what I’m allowed it satisfies me for a bit but then it comes back.

Wow yeah talk to your des office and see what they suggest but most likely it’s what you’ve decided to do!

Pre op 1.5 weeks broth and aroma one lettuce with grilled fish/chicken breast then 3 days before skim milk, broth

Yes the gas is very painful I was able to take up to 4 gas X A day and walking is a must as you already know hang in there! Drink lots of water like my nurse said water was more important than protein the first few days so you don’t dehydrate.

I hear you load and clear but also if I throw up I can bleed as well I only did it twice I was to the point of either that or 🤮 so I took my chance. But believe me I am being careful.

Also I’ve had a few bites of crackers as that makes my stomach feel better
