I am doing the same as you for "food". I have eaten Jello also. I swish my jello into liquid, for something different. My incisions don't hurt? They feel itchy & hot. I keep my heating pad on my tummy to help with gas. Hope this helps.

I tried jello too it made me super full . Mines aren't itchy I have pain behind the large one like a tugging sensation & I didn't think of heating pads ! That help. Thank you

I just had the surgery on the 25th as well. If I can help let me know; we are probably going through a lot of the same things. Jason Cody here. Today my stitches on my stomach are really itchy. I have pain in my upper left arm still; but it seems to get better each day. Aside from that I do not have any pains at all. Today I took my mom out for lunch; my first lunch out in the new/real world; lol. We went to Ruby Tuesday's, and I had a bowel of Broccoli and Cheese soup. I think it was the best thing I may have ever tasted; or it could be the liquid diet talking lol. When I bend I too can feel the stomach cramp a bit so I tend to avoided bending at the waist. I do like my Jello; but I was able to start on cream soups last night and that was so wonderful. The protein whey shots (45g of Protein) are really great too. They taste really tangy but I feel like a whole new person after one of those bad boys! They are not too expensive you can get them at Walmart for 2.99 each or even GNC has them but for a little more; LOL. jcamdk@gmail.com; great to meet you on our new birthdays (right?); lol.

Heu Jason! Did your doctor say you have those soups and that type of protein shots? I can't have that type of soup til Monday. I am glad you are able to eat, I can't wait to have more than chicken broth ,Jello & protein waters /shakes!!!

My surgeon said because I did so well right after the surgery; that night; and the next day that I would be ok. However my surgeon is really cool he gave me his personal cell phone number and email so I check in with him every day. He has been really great; I called him before starting to eat creamy soups and he asked me a ton of questions and said I was good to go; but at any point I felt any bulge or discomfort go right back to the "bland liqueds again" . I called him after lunch today; and he was so proud.

Lol my names Stephanie ! And omg I'm scared to eat I've stuck to Water and protien shakes and Jello . I have pain in my left arm too from the shots and I have no itching . Just. A little tug but today it feels okay. How did you eat soup already

My incisions tugged a little at first also. All part of the tissue healing. Good luck on the losers bench <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Thank you mines feel better today? Why do you call it the loser bench

My surgeon said a big no to using a heating pad on the incision sites. The upper arm area pain sounds like gas. When I walk around the block it always helps with that. Good luck ????

Thank you mines feel better today? Why do you call it the loser bench

It's called the loser bench, because we are now "losing" weight! !

Haha that makes sense it's cute

Hi Ms Corp,

I had surgery on the 24th and the only thing I've added to my clear liquid diet that you aren't having is sugar-free popsicles. The cold seemed to hurt my stomach a bit at first, but today I didn't notice any discomfort when I ate one. I get to start the full liquid tomorrow and can't wait! Excited for an icky Protein shake even!

I'm super compliant and "by the book" about what I'm ingesting. This cost me waaaay too much money to screw anything up. I go to my follow up appointment on Friday and plan on meeting with the nutritionist again as well. I have a list of items to ask about being on the Full Liquid 2 week phase. I can tell you what I get out of the appointment if you'd like. Do you move on to Full Liquid on Tuesday?

Debbie

Debbie,

I totally agree with you! We spent way to much to not follow the doctors rules!!! I am soooo excited as well about going to the next phase of full liquids! I start tomorrow! Keep me posted of how you're doing and any yummy recipes you have for this phase. Thanks & congrats!!!

Hey Debbie . I eat ice lol it's my best friend I haven't tried the Popsicles . What I drink is my isopure shake in 1 cup of milk or water 1 scoop and I drink 2 ounces every 20 min and I have to do 2 a day . I eat sugar free jello and I mash it up really well . & lots of water . And a little broth here and there . I had 2 ounces of diet snapple today and it was ok . My doctor has me on purred food for week 2-3 and if I can't tolerate it back to liquids so ill find out on wed now that goes . Congrats and good luck

Hi all. I too had surgery on June 25. I am on full liquids...but one of my fav things is a lemonade slushy..Made with 1-2 cups of ice, Water, and 1-2 single crystal light lemonade packets. Its quite refreshing. =)
