I thought about pudding bc I'm on full liquids but I wasn't sure bc my dr said applesauce.

Try Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup. You won't taste crushed meds at all.

Hi I had my surgery on March 4th. Just had my 2 week check up I've lost 13 ponds since surgery and 30 pounds since starting liquid diet. I got the ok to start puréed foods. Does anyone have any puréed ideas they would like to share. I was doing well on the liquids but have been feeling very nauseous the last few days. Also could you please ad me to the group. Thanks:)

You'll get a big AMEN from me on that too. I have been so gassy today' date=' finally passed a bunch and had a BM. My stomach is very loud. It growls ALL the time. Walking has helped but as soon as I put food in there, the noise starts again. I had my husband pick up Dannon lite and fit yogurt today but noticed it has 10g of sugar. I am nervous to try it, I can only have 2tbsp so I am hoping it will be alright but any input is appreciated.[/quote']

I'm trying my yogurt today too! I'll cross my fingers it goes well for both of us!

EXCUSE ANY TYPOS ... THE liquid VICODINE HAS MY SITE BLURRY

Hey Losers... My surgery was Thursday and I'm still in the hospital. I'm "suppose" to get released today. I'm not sure if I'm ready to go home.... I have 4 kids and even with help I know I'll naturally over do it.

Well I arrived to the hospital ay 6 and they immediately began peeping ne. By 730am I was rolled to the basement where surgeries are performed.. I didn't walk into surgery... I was on a bed the entire time and they put me out before I was wheeled in.

I woke up in my room. Apparently I was in recovery after but I don't remember..

My stomach was sensitive to the touch but not internally. The worse part was my catheter not voiding correctly. They had to come and play with the tubing every hour to get the urine to flow . My belly was sore from it.

Drinking and logging seem like forever.. but I didn't it.

Oh Em Gee... I did have an issue with the liquid vicodine. I started gagging and dry heaved vomited. I fell like I was ripping my internal staples. The freaking worth feeling ever.

Walking was a breeze... My legs were fine my belly was just a little sore.

This surgery is way more easier then I thought it would be.

Each day gets better and better

Leticia! Glad you're doing better. I personally love your Vicodin typos You make those kids help you out and don't over do it.

11 days post op and this is the first time I've puked. Ughh! That was about as much fun as a root canal. How the heck is it that I ate the same thing yesterday, and today the artist formerly known as stomach says "hell no!"?

Any juice that I drink has to be diluted 50/50 with Water. Is that the same for you too? Even if it isn't I would suggest trying it and seeing if it makes a difference. I have been able to tolerate it just fine.

They didnt suggest that I know I froze some last night since I couldn't find popsicles I'm going to try one and see if it is better because I really like pineapple juice

Tonight I was hungry ! I blame my family for eating mcds in front of me. Now working on my 2 oz of food and I discovered pineapple juice 100 percent yummmm I was getting burnt out on crystal light

I guess I'm lucky. I don't feel hungry. I can tell when I need food though because I get quite weak. Now if I could just get rid of the intractable explosive diarrhea...

Are you drinking milk at all? I got diarrhea when I had my Protein Shakes with 1% milk. You can become lactose intolerant after surgery. If you switch to lactaid your diarrhea will go away.

That's what happened with me. I was mixing it with soy milk, but apparently you can be lactose intolerant with the whey Proteins. I had to switch to a soy Protein isolate powder. No more diarrhea.
