Maggie rose

Same! I can drink a lot as well. Last night my husband made Soup and I had 2 (small) bowls of the broth and almost a whole sweet potato… I mean it took me almost 1 1/2 - 2 hrs of stopping and drinking but I still feel like I should have felt at least uncomfortable and I was perfectly fine… 2 weeks post op today.

Don't be worried. I can tolerate a lot of liquids too, as long as I'm not eating, lol. I take 40oz of Water with me to work, and usually finish it, or pretty close by the time I get home, on top of other liquids.

I mixed the ricotta, shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, 2 eggs, Italian seasoning, and a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder and spread in a small baking dish (they used ramekins but I don’t have any!) and topped with smooth spaghetti sauce and a little more shredded mozzarella. Baked for like 30 minutes at 425 I think. SO GOOD.

Hello everyone !
Had my surgery yesterday. I am doing good. Except for gas pains. No other pain. So far so good. Gas is really bothersome though. I am doing a lot more walking today. It’s 4 am and I am up and walking. When will this gas pain be gone 🤔. I have been having only Water since yesterday. Today I plan to try some clear Protein . This was my first surgery. funny thing was I remember rolling into the operating room and then the next thing was in the recovery. I thought for a min the surgery was not done or something and I was reaching for my stomach to check 😂. After a while I asked nurse if it was done. She said Ofcourse honey 😅

I was feeling so weak that I started yesterday on egg drop soup and it made me feel wonderful no pain no nothing, Jello, pudding, , I ended up on ensure extreme Protein that was the only one that I could drink without the gas, Water diet juice so far so good

Right now I was doing Jello and chicken broth but today I introduced pudding and Thai coconut Soup and boy was that soup so good. So far everything works. I’m entering my 2nd week so I’ll add back the Protein Shakes and hopefully try eggs this week.

I was a smoker but have not smoked for years. I do remember enjoying it - really took the edge off of stressful situations sometimes. Be careful Maggie honey - I know just how addictive they can be but they can interfere with your recovery. You gave up once - you can do it again. Just one day at a time sweetie xx

You made me smile so big thank you for that

You made me smile so big thank you for that

I’m in ALOT of pain in my right area in one of the incisions I can’t feel anything anywhere else except that one spot and when I say it kills it kills! Getting meds here is like pulling teeth im overall in very bad pain and wondering if I’ll be ok, honestly im scared

Awwww - Maggie. It's major surgery and you are probably experiencing a range of emotions in addition to the pain of the major incision site. Deep breaths honey - you are ok just like all of us who have had our surgery this month. Your surgeon and medical team have got this - promise xx

I know that all to well, you are beautiful, you are worthy, you are and deserve happiness ❤️

Hang in there. It goes by quick. You won’t even remember how it happened. Blessings. Will see you on the other side. You will do great!

Good morning to all, this has been the longest 8 months of my journey but its here's, I check in at 7 surgery at 9 . Twins day we got this Maggie.

You got this Maggie. Can't wait to hear from you when you get enough strength.

Yessss. No 😂. That was a dumb decision. Good luck with everything. If you have questions I'm here. I'm excited for y'all.

Oh yeah they are very thoughtful of my situation, and the Protein my people said I am only to have 60 grams of protein on this liquid diet, so I only drink 2 Protein Shakes and 22 ounces of the chicken broth and plenty Popsicles, Jello, pudding. That's my countdown to the sleeve

I agree too!

Yes it will come quickly. Have everything prepared so it will ease your transition when u come home.

I am so glad to be reading everyone is doing well, remember you just had major surgery- give yourself grace! My surgery is on the 13th just 3 more days and I can’t believe it! It feels like it took forever and no time at all to get here, I am excited to see what’s next for me, I just want it to be here already I am getting very eager to get on that hospital bed count back from 10 and wake up in my hospital room

Yes the connection to food and every activity is literally so eye opening, the other night I wouldn’t go to the movies because sitting there not eating did not seem at all worth it to me, I am curious how much of me is actual hunger and how much is mental, cause I’d bet most is mental … congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling? It’s nice to know the cravings may go away ❤️

Wow thank you! I needed this! Like I really needed this! You are absolutely right, it will be so worth it, haha I’m actually crying right now cause I needed someone to remind me how very miserable food made me, it was only good for the moment, and the misery and shame I felt was unbearable… we need more kind beautiful people like you in the world and thank you again I just screen shot your message to read when I feel like this because your so right … how are you feeling? Congratulations on your surgery!!! Tell me how it’s been going? If you don’t mind

Awwwww - Maggie, your enthusiasm really makes me smile. Acrostic - i would really think twice abut driving straight after surgery. My surgeon did not recommend that owing to the lingering effects of the anaesthetic and also that I had undergone major surgery. I took 2 weeks off and the third week I plan to take it real easy xx
