Make sure you are having your Protein and your liquids and try to squish some walking in your routine. I found it hard to drink the first few days, but I made sure I was drinking at least 1oz more each day still can't hit 64oz, but my doc said as long as I hit 32-40oz and use the restroom 4 times a day, I will not get dehydrated.

Yes I am definitely getting my Protein in and sipping my Water all day. Tried this lamb dish last night it was so moist and went down good. Moist meats are important.

Give yourself grace and Celebrate what you’ve overcome and done to get to this very minute. I started forgetting to eat because of writing deadlines then I tried shoveling the food in my face mindlessly as I worked and my body quickly reminded me that it wasn’t a healthy habit before surgery and it isn’t now.
Taking the time to plan out my “eating and drinking schedule” is tough for my go go go-brain. But, every time I do it it’s a contract with myself to slow down and practice self care. Isn’t that what this whole process really is?

Your absolutely right! Thank you for reminding me of this I did this for me and am taking care of me.

I had surgery on 11/14. I am back to work full time and have a very high stress job. I am worried I may harm myself or fail due to my job. Work doesn't seem to be as supportive as you would expect.

I don't even feel like I had surgery on some days. Some days I can feel the restriction and some days I can eat a lot more than I should, or at least in my mind. This whole process is challenging. I wish I could get rid of feeling bloated.

Sometimes I feel the same way.

Congratulations 🎊

Hi guys, I had surgery on the 14th of this month and I feel really good. And I haven't had any problems since I left the hospital and am able to keep foods down and get my Water goal daily. I feel really blessed, but I feel that the scale is moving slow. My doctor says its normal and not to weigh myself every day. Anyone else feel like the scale is moving slow?

Hi I had surgery on the 14th and I am feeling great. I feel like I'm healing well. I had some pureed mushy egg salad today. It was so good and so much better than broth. I am brothed out and this is the hard part to me right now. I am going slow and small.
