You will know. I woke up feeling magical. Like a fairy all covered in ketosis breath smelling glitter.

Congrats.... I love your sense of humor! For the bad breath, I sucked on some tic tac's did the trick for me..... I could hardly stand the smell of my own breath...oh how I remember those days lol!

Gotta say Day 4 is waaaaaaaaaayy better than Day 2!!

5 oz of liquid plus a Jello in a couple hours without the twinge after each swallow.

Moving around better.

Still not up for a 5K but ....can see the light at the end of the tunnel:)

Oh' date=' there will be no butt trumpets here unless I am sitting on the pot. How in the world could I be (TMI) making this weird sludge if I have nothing in my system? It's disgusting and I am so afraid that I am going to shart. Butt trumpets are for potties only for now.[/quote']

Lipstick lady you are too funny about it. Happen to me but I was drinking the wrong shakes

Allah hu Akbar

I'm drinking! I'm drinking! I'm drinking! And it's not getting stuck!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I am not burping it right back up!! It's not causing tummy heaves or mouth sweats. I'm drinking!!!!

So' date=' should I Water down my gatorade?I like it better than Crystal light, I've had less than 50 calories in 3.5 days and for today, I think I need to take what I can get. I don't mind it watered down but I do think I need the electrolytes Crystal Light won't provide.

Did I tell you that I am finally drinking???[/quote']

Awesome....I am so happy for you. How long since your surgery. I am having the same problem, I can't wait to stop belching all the time. As for the Powerade/Gatorade, I have no advice. My doctor amd nutrition do not reccommend them. I drink Water, as long as the flavor is 5 calories or less I mix it in my water. Gladiator smoothies from smoothie King are a good source of Protein not to mention they taste good and go down with no problem.

I am post op three days. Right now I am "enjoying" a lovely cup of chicken broth from a Trader Joe packet. Yum?

I've had almost 30 oz of liquid, non calorie, and half a Protein shake. I am so full I can barely see straight and I burp with every sip to get it to go down. How bizarre. I feel like a toilet with a big flapper that moves just a enough to let a little go down at once. (My real thought on this is much more graphic, but I will spare you. You're welcome.)

The broth will feel so good and you really need the salt. I'm still having at least one cup of it a day. I put habanero sauce in mine. :D I don't know if you are quite ready for that though. Spicy sharts might not be what the doctor ordered.

Oh and Johnlatte thinks the word broth should be banned!

Be afraid.. Be very afraid! First and the last time that happens! Luckily I laughed the entire time in the shower! I'm officially 1 week post op.. Finally I'm feeling like myself again.. Except for Protein shakes, they make me gag. Blaaah

One week post-op here too. Feeling great physically but mentally very crabby. Wanting food, I know it is head hunger but so tired of Protein Shakes and blended cottage cheese and yogurt. I wish it wasn't raining so I could go for a walk and get my mind on something else.

I also don't know if it's good to read all the weight loss numbers feeling frustrated with my couple of pounds when others are losing so much.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
