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!

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
