Hi Amy

Popsicles, I love them - these are considered a liquid - this is my treat every night - MmmmmMmmmm Good

IMO water is the best, and most people drink plenty of that

congrats & best of luck on your new sleeve

Thanks. I forgot my notebook at my house. When can I start drinking the Protein shakes?

My dr. is having me do protein shakes, popsicles, broth, powerade, water and diluted non-pulp juices.

I have been doing protein shakes since day 3 after surgery. How are you doing? Days 4 and 5 were ROUGH for me. Day six was much better. I just want some energy back. I hope it comes about when I get to add pureed foods. Never thought I'd look forward to pureed food, but I already have my refried beans, salsa, and sour cream sitting in the kitchen awaiting me! Call your surgeon's office if you have any questions. They were WELL PAID to offer up any help we need. Hugs!

The popsicles sugar free can be sweetened with Splenda is that ok

I'm doing pretty good the heartburn is the only bother. I've kept down my Water n buying my Protein shake tomorrow I miss it. I feel good too. Can't wait for the soreness to go away so I can move around lol. I just wanted to see what other liquids y'all are drinking to get a variety

Im 4days post op... My liquids are water,decaf tea wsplenda,jello,chiken broth and sugarfree popcicles oh and crystal light

I highly recommend that you drink some low calorie G2 Gatorade. It helps prevent dehydration.

I wasnt allowed my protein shakes for two weeks. I had water, gatorade (electrolytes saved my life energy wise), any soup broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles. Basically they told me any clear liquids! I watered down my gatorade but it was seriously what gave me any energy and made me feel I could make it through the day.

1 week max after surgery, otherwise you will get weak , at least I did.

Had my first protein shake and felt so much better!

Don't think I can ever have chicken broth again

I had some Jello now I got heart burn. I've been sippin sippin sippin Water and am keeping fluids down. What else do y'all recommend me drinking? I've had grape juice yum n water so far.

I made myself organic chicken broth, homemade. So much better than canned!

My mom made a homemade chicken veggie soup and when I woke up I had a cup of warm broth waiting for me beats that canned broth lol it filled me up ! Also got some sugar free Popsicles. Either the jello or the crystal light gave me heartburn. Staying away from those two for a while lol

popsicles sugar free can be sweetened with Splenda is that ok

Amy

no offense intended, if you want to sweeten a popsicle w/ splenda or whatever, i guess that ok.

All I can say is yeachhhhhhhhh.

Did your surgeon or a Dr put you on anything for acid reflux or heartburn after surgery?

Nope. I didn't get it till today. If I still have it tomorrow I'll call and ask for something.
