Drains are out Hooray!! I am on soft food for 4 weeks 1 protein shake a day. I am so happy to get those drains out.

Excited seeing doctor this morning. Hope to get the drains removed and move on to purée

I would have to sit on the toilet & just let it drain thru at 100 oz

CarolineLittle Yep constipation was awful finally semi normal bm yesterday. What a relief! I can drink more water just afraid of stretching my pouch. I am at a stall too, gained 2 lbs. not walking as much as I should. Only 1 mile. See doctor tomorrow hope the drains come out. Anyone else have drains? I had some complications and think that may be why I have them. Also hope doctor moves me to soft food stage

Allison I totally understand!! I haven’t tried pudding as the unsweetened applesauce is more than sweet enough. Finally had a real BM today. Not a green Brussels sprout. I feel so much better!! I am back on miralax as I don’t want to go through that again. The reason I shared the egg custard is it’s loaded with protein not icky sweet and same consistency as pudding

The milk goes in the blender with everything else. If not sweet enough add a little sweetener next time

LilLiza My phone acts up Egg custard recipe Preheat oven to 350 f Place in blender 6 egg whites 1 scoop vanilla protein powder After blending let sit so the foam goes away Place 6 ramekins in a larger baking dish, pour warm water to 1/2 way up the sides Fill ramekins 2/3 full bake for 35 minutes 2 cups (your choice of milk)

LilLiza I am so sorry! Yes protein drinks are disgusting!!! I made some egg custard adding protein po

Use electrolytes they help hydrate and fight the fatigue

Purée the meat and sauce save a tiny bit of sauce to top it with

Good morning wishing you all a blessed day full of healing progress I think I am turning the corner and getting better. On a less pleasant note, anyone else having green poo?

Good relative ?

I had that with a different ant nausea med

I go to stage 3 next week and so excited

Stupid phone, I am not losing like you ladies ? but I am happy for you both. Think I have turned a corner and back on the mend. Time for the tiredness to go away.

CarolineLittle and LindsayT My doc took me off my diabetes meds and that helped plus nauseated or not I take the zofran every 8 hours as prescribed. I am j

LindsayT I hear you on the tired. Tried to go for a walk today turned around at 1/4 mile and my butt was still waiting in the driveway.

Sorry my phone is doing it’s own thing As I was saying this journey is individual to each of us. Many are experiencing protein burnout, being waterlogged and other temporary bumps and snags. We are not trying to discourage or scare you, it may not happen to you. If it does it let’s you know, you are not alone, and this too shall pass. Best wishes on your journey and thanks for joining us.

Welcome everyone! As you know this journey is different

Doc said stop taking diabetes meds, take the anti nausea meds and rest increase your protein

Drains going into my abdomen both right and left side

I am stuck with the drains for another week. I hate them

Welcome rockystart94

I have unflavored protein powder 30 gr protein and clear berry flavored premier protein drink. Considering mixing 1 scoop unflavored with the clear then dividing it between 4 20 oz containers of water to dilute the taste of the berry flavor. That should help meet my liquid and protein goals. If I can handle it

Miss Sunshine P I looked up frothing after bariatric surgery and found this “do the foamies ever go away” on this site https://thingsthatworkforme.com/do-the-foamies-ever-go-away/ Hope this helps
