So is anyone else finding hard to eat? I eat Breakfast and forget to eat. I drink lots of Water. I ate 2 times yesterday. I drink as much water as I can because I am thirsty. I am going on to puree foods. I had some red Beans yesterday. YUM. After that I was not interested in food. I do not drink the shakes but I need to. It is so hard to drink them sometimes. ijs

Any body in the New Orleans area? I would love to have someone in my area going through the same thing. I would like to know how you are dealing with life in the city of NO. I am so tired of people trying to feed me. I can't eat it, but thanks. The food smells so good but I do not want any of it. It is a hard adjustment to not eat at gatherings. That was the one think good about life here. Food. I feel like I almost have a food aversion. Nothing really taste good. So sick of bland foods. I did enjoy my red Beans yesterday. I am excited that I can eat some puree shrimp this week.

Anyone else have throat pain from the NG tube?

Minor, and didn't notice it from the dryness of being NPO for 24 hours. Mine was just a little soreness/rawness nothing major though.

I am brand new here. My surgery is scheduled for 6/25. In three days. I've been on skim milk diet for almost two weeks and they finally told me I could put Nestles no sugar added chocolate mix and it makes it so much more palatable..

All you can have is skim milk?

Have a popsicle question....do the popsicles melt b4 u finish them since u have to go slower' date=' or do u just let them melt and use a spoon?[/quote']

Hey! I'm day 4 and I love having Popsicles. I bought the sugar free kind from Walmart where you break them in half (2 sticks) I nibble them and I'm able to eat the whole thing before it melts.

Try making Protein Popsicles! I purchased nectar lemonade and strawberry kiwi. They make awesome Popsicles. For some reason I do better with Popsicles than drinking.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
