I'm assuming my new tummy is pretty swollen because I'm definitely not getting in the ounces or calories I thought I would be. I was actually pretty nervous about following the post-op liquids only diet but it's been much better than I thought.

I am trying to stay hydrated and not be overly concerned with Protein right now.

My liquid diet so far is as follows:

Breakfast - 3 oz. of warm tea mixed with 1 spoonful of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder

Snack - 2-3 oz. of Water or water mixed w/ crystal light

lunch - 2-3 oz. of warm low sodium chicken broth mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury

Snack - about 1/2 a container of Jell-O, 2-3 oz water

dinner - 3 oz. of warm tea (or broth) mixed with 1 spoonful of Unjury unflavored protein powder

Water whenever I think of it. Sip, sip, sip!

Gas pains are getting better as I've been walking. I haven't walked outside yet because we

are having nasty Santa Ana winds today

I am following this liquid diet for another 9 days so hopefully it'll be this easy next week!

Good for you! That's nine pounds down! I'm so glad you are feeling better and handling your post-op diet so well. Thank you again for sharing your experiences.
