I'm nearly 4 weeks post op and on soft food. I have been having a lot of trouble with nausea. I spoke to my surgeon about it and he said it was due to acid in my stomach. I'm on nexium for this but I'm allowed to use gaviscon before each meal to help with this. And I'm happy to say it has!! Finally! Sorry I'm a little excited!

I just are some tuna and crackers and felt fine! And, the best part about it was there was 15g of Protein in it!

I was sleeved May 13. Have had tuna salad the past few days for lunch...yesterday ate it with 4 ritz crackers. Was heavenly. Today I'm having some Tomato bisque and the tuna. I feel kinda normal....

I tried two different new foods today. One was refried Beans with some cheese that I added, and the other was artichoke heart. I chose them both since they have higher Protein counts, and can be easily mashed. So far, so good. I even got a smidge of my lemon butter sauce with the artichoke. I got about 2oz of the beans and and 1oz of the artichoke.

Just had surgery yesterday somebody please tell me this gets better I can't keep anything down and still feeling nausea. They are keeping me in the hospital tonight.

It does get better. I was sleeved on the 28th, and the first day was horrible. I stayed overnight from Tues to Wed. However, as soon as I was at my home, things were/are better. Tomorrow, I get 8oz of Protein to fit in to the daily routine of Clear Liquids.< /p>

It's officially one week ago today and I'm getting better everyday. I get to start eating yogurt and creamy Soups today. I'm so excited to try something other than broth. I'm still having some gas pains occasionally and they do hurt! Is anyone else feeling this? Hope everyone else is doing well. You're all in my prayers and God bless!!!

I'm 10 days post-op and I still get gas after eating (also depends on what I eat). I'm on full liquids and it's nice to have a few different things now. I was having a lot of issues drinking my Protein Shakes. I think I'm lactose intolerat so so of them had me running to the bathroom. Others I just can't choke down anymore.

But I found some Sunkist Protein Shots at Dierburgs. One is 2.5 oz with 24 grams of Protein (isolate) the other is 3.2 oz with 43 grams of protein. They come in orange, grape and fruit punch. They don't taste too bad. They are fruity, sweet/tart. So I can get my protein in without having to drink so much during the day. Hope this helps others:)

Hi all... so surgery was done in like 45 min. Because I didn't had the proper nutrition before I came into surgery, my blood pressure was horribly low... I faint 2 times trying to stand up and go to the bathroom... Finally my doctor ordered a unit of blood... and over night I been picking up my normal vitals... I haven't been able to walk at all, because we are waiting for the doctor approval, but I can go to the bathroom by myself =) because I haven't been walking, gas pain is the only thing I have... I have 6 surgery points, and my stomach is not upset as I thought it will be... this morning I had a swallowing test, where they made me drank a horrible taste solution to see if I don't have any licking... that's all I taste so far =/ overall I'm good... hoping to be walking again and finally relieve this gas pain.. I'll keep you posted =)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
