Can you eat th3 egg part in the egg drop Soup? ? If your on a full liquid diet

Sleeved on the 30th and had egg drop soup 4 days post op. I strained what egg off I could, but some tiny pieces still came through. Didn't give me any problems at all and tasted great! Thank god because I was over broth, had some cream of potato (strained the potato and made with skim milk). The best soup so far! Satisfied my mental hunger!

Has anyone sleeved on the 30th been able to sleep on their right side? I'm having trouble sleeping on my back and wondering how long till I can sleep on my side. Thanks. For any insights. Hope everyone is doing well.

I have been sleeping on my right side with a pillow under my left side so that I'm sort of sleeping on my stomach, which is the only way I'm really comfortable. This however forces me to turn my head to face the opposite of the way I usually face and makes my neck and shoulder hurt a bit. I do this most of the night and sleep on my back the rest of the time. Can't wait til I can sleep normally!

I've been able to sleep on either side. Today, was the first day not tolerate a food item. My be I sipped to broth to fast. It came right back up after that I was fine. Does anyone have problems with smelling cooked food?

I think my sense of smell is much more alert. Even perfume smells seem stronger...sometimes make my stomach flip :(

My sense of smell has definitely become more sensitive but surprisingly the food doesn't appeal to me. Even all my favorites ..nothing still not hungry it's crazy. Had anyone experienced any severe headaches since surgery?? I have had 2 since and they are so severe waking me from my sleep.< /p>

My tastes are changing- my sugar free Popsicles are wayyy too sweet. I used to be teased for being part hummingbird because of my love of all things sweet. Not anymore!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
