Hi Colemon70' date=' I'm doing ok, trying to get as much Protein in. im at pureed stage.I believe u n I got sleeved the same day :) cool! How r udoing?? Question: can we drink naked juice? At least a lil but, I'm so constipated :/ n this is the only thing that works.[/quote']

Today I had some 100% apple juice. I was really craving it, and it helped me painlessly meet my Fluid intake. I say have some! We are even allowed to have mashed potatoes and hot Cereal.....LOTS of carbs. I think the low carb requirements start when we can eat real food.

I was sleeved this past Thursday, so today I am 4 days out. I am still having a lot of trouble swallowing. Feels like a golf ball every time. Also, they gave me a suppository in the Hospital BC I was in SO much pain from gas. So now I have (sorry TMI) liquid diarrhea. Did any of you have any of these issues? I am worried about dehydration. I am on full liquids, so I'm trying to drink skim milk along with Water and some zero calorie electrolyte drinks like Powerade Zero and Gatorade. Haven't attempted a Protein Shake yet.

The feeling of having a goofball stuck will go away in a few more days...I had a similar experience as yours at the beginning since I was pretty much sipping on chicken broth n water. Just keep on sipping water, liquids, to avoid dehydration.

I 'm 5 days post op and struggling with the same issues. But today I feel better than yesterday and I'm pretty sure if I take it one day at a time things will improve. Remember we've been through a major surgery, a part of ur body has been cut away, of course we need to give our bodies the time they deserve to heal. Pls stop worrying, it's a normal symptom after the gastrectomy. My docs advice: DON'T STAY IN BED OR ON THE SOFA. WALK AS LONG AS UR LUNGS ALLOW U BUT DON'T OVERDO IT. SIP Water SLOWLY, TEAS, Soups, SUGARLESS JUICES, LIQUIFIED YOGURTS...BUT NO MILK, NO coffee, NO SODAS.. And don't forget to watch ur sugar intake. And if u need anything else pls don't hesitate. I'm more than glad to share. Kisses. Pascale.

Glad to hear you are doing well! I'm on puréed foods starting Tues. I'm not allowed to have naked juice. They told me it has too many carbs and sugars. I imagine it would be ok if watered down? I'm not sure though. I had a rough time having a BM. My doc said a lot was from my pain meds which were Tylenol 3 (codenine) and that binded me. Plus the lack of fruit and veggies. They suggested milk of magnesia. I can't take that stuff. But if you are able to get down liquid meds that might be an option. I can't wait to be in purée. I think we will be able to get things "movin" :) good luck to uou

I had a couple spoonfuls of instant cream of wheat. It was HEAVY and filled me fast, but it felt fine.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
