Hey everyone! Just started this thread for the post op octosleevers of 2012. I had my surgery yesterday and all is well. Gas pain is terrible but I've been walking around. Full fluid dinner tonight. Sippin on my oh, cream soup and pudding. They saline locked my IV, catheter is out and I love walking around. Nausea and pain are so far under control. I'm giving myself 3 hours to finish this meal

lol I am having my husband burp me too. Feels soooo much better afterwards.

Flip. I need to find me a husband!

I'm home now, but battling extreme nausea. I have both Phenergan and Zofran, but neither knock it out. I'm terrified bc I can't eat or drink much yet.

I'm having the same issue. I feel your pain. I am not drinking alot of liquids either, everytime I do I get horrible gas pains, and cramping.

I hope you feel bettter GeauxForIt, I keep reading that it gets better relatively fast.

Had my surgery Oct 2/12 and can now handle more solid food. It's weird to never feel hungry. Every week I feel better. Down 37 pounds since started pre-op diet.

Down 27 since surgery 10/08 and 43 since pre op journey. Woot. Back to work Monday

Wow!!!

My nausea was better today. I'm taking the Phenergan every 4 hours no matter what and it seems to have help in keeping it under control. I also have tried to keep something on my stomach at all times (Crystal Light lemonade has been my saving grace).

Yogurt didn't go over too well, but broth, both chicken and beef, WITH salt and just slightly warm has been great. pudding (sf) eaten really slowly has tasted really good, too.

I hope you feel better!!

Well 6 weeks out and its hard to eat when I am away from home. Anybody experience this? I would sometimes rather just not eat. I have no hunger pains...just my head telling me I should eat. Thought today I left the house with a protein bar was so excited had 29 grams of protein and I tried to eat it for breakfast....tastes like puke. Then went to gas station bought yogurt it was spoiled. It was just a bad day. My nut has me on 3 meals a day no snacking 20 grams of protein first. So if you can't get that you shouldn't eat it. Uggh just frustrated I can't pick up anything and eat. I'm not a cooker I don't like fish or turkey....thanks for letting me complain. And I did come home and have a protein shake. I drink the premeire ones and really like those.

My local grocery store has whole pre-cooked chickens. I buy one of those, pull it off the bone and throw it in the Ninja with some low fat mayo, s&p, and a little mayo. Eat it in a tortilla or just by itself.

And I bought cute, little, patterned containers to put it in!

I meant a little mustard!

Excellent job! Good for you!

Thanks!

Yeah, I was about to have chicken broth this morning for breakfast... Maybe it's because of that awesome sounding post? Just opted for chocolate Shake instead.....

The funny thing is that that idea was "practice" pre-op for my puréed stage...I'm only full liquids for all of next week, too!!!

I, too, am having a chocolate Protein shake for breakfast.

I'm so proud of myself...my daughters bday and party were yesterday and even I though I ended up ALONE in the house with 1/2 a chocolate cake, I took not one crumb!!

I never really even considered it.

Started full liquids today so happy to eat SF pudding didn't know how good it could be. I'm so loving the full liquid stage verses clear liquid
