I don't know if you're a coffee drinker, But I am. I like to get my Protein in by mixing a vanilla Protein Shake with one cup of black coffee. I poured over some ice and pretend it's iced coffee. I think the black coffee take some of that sweetness away..

Hi! I'm new too, my surgery was on the 24th of December so we are practically twins. I've been having some gas pains it's getting less and less every day. I usually start to take a walk right as I'm feeling it, and I did start taking chewable gas x sometimes 15 minutes before my medications. (I find I swallow a lot of air when I take meds). I hope you continue to heal well!

Somebody else in the last two weeks called it "sleeve blush" and said her surgeon's office told her it was semi-common. I had never heard of it before. I don't think it's anything to worry about, probably just annoying, but you can check with your doctor tomorrow for sure. I never had it.

sometimes dehydration an cause a person to flush and become red and splotchy and angry. It seems a little off but think about when a baby is sick and dehydrated, how red and dry their little faces get, same with adults. Are you getting enough fluids?

Today I am 10 days post op, and after what feels like 97 years, I can go to the full liquid diet. [emoji119] I just had 1/2 a cup of creamed Soup, strained. Mentally, I feel SO much better!!!! That being said, what are your go to full liquids? ??

Hi everybody I just had my sleeve surgery 12/14/20. I am at the soft food stage. I am so nervous and don’t know what to eat. I am a southern girl and I cook a lot but I know I can’t have those things and I have no ideas of a menu or shopping list and I don’t want to mess up. Please help me. No one close to me has done this.

1 tin smoked baby clams
1 tin smoked oysters
1 cup Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt
1 cup part skim Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated three cheese blend
1 can artichoke hearts in water
2 cups loose fresh spinach
1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp Tabasco
1 tbsp horseradish

Stir yogurt and cheese in bowl.
Pulse oysters and clams (drain and rinse first to get rid of can taste) and stir into blend
Pulse artichoke hearts and stir into blend
Stir in spinach, Worchestershire, Tabasco and horseradish into blend.
Spoon 1/4 cup into ramekins.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

104 cals, 5.4 G fat, 4.4 G carb, 9.3 G Protein.< br /> Makes 10-12 servings. Nutrition based on 10 servings.

My surgeon plan says to stop drinking liquids 15-30 mins before eating, so I stop when I put this in oven to time it right.

If you like smoked oysters at all, this is a nice, rich tasting dish that works nicely for pureed stage.

Welcome. I had a sleeve in 2013 and a revision to Modified DS in 2020. I hope your recover is smooth.

Just finished my pre-admission testing! Two days until surgery (12/30)!

Welcome!! I had my sleeve on 12/22!

Welcome and get the baby gas drops they help

Welcome to the forums! I’m 2 days from surgery, so we’re close in our surgery dates! Congratulations on your surgery!

Hi all, I'm new here. My name is Rachel and I'm 34. I had my sleeve done 12/23. I also had a hernia repair as well. I feel very blessed that I have not had any nausea or any other major side effects. Haven't had a lot of pain at all surprisingly. My main struggles have been gas pains, burping, and a very strong tightening sensation when I swallow. I have been very tired since the surgery and find myself having to take naps during the day. Something I am not used too. But anyway just wanted to introduce myself!

Welcome and Congratulations!

Welcome to the forums, Rachel. Congrats on your WLS and having little to no adverse side effects or issues. Like you, I had no pain and just the 24 hours of nausea post-op while still in the hospital. You're going to be tired for about 5-7 days while your body is healing from major surgery but you'll bounce back in no time. Nice to meet you.
