Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

HI all I am new to this so bear with me. I had my surgery on the 24th June and I am doing well' date=' I am afraid to start eating any foods besides drinking the protein shakes in order to get the high amount of protein needed after surgery. Is there any protein that you can add to water so that I could get my protein in with my water intake.[/quote']

There is unjury unflavored protein powder, but they suggest you add it to crystal light not water. Crystal light should count as your water intake though

Well about fed up with this stricture. It has closed off yet again, so they admitted me to the hospital today. Tomorrow they're going to try and put a stent in my esophagus to hold it open. I'm hoping this is the answer. Happy 4th of July everyone!

I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Had surgery June 5th. .. got sick on June 20th

How are you feeling today? I was thinking about you, I hope you are better today.

Still very nauseated but I'm not allowed any fluids at all. Not getting my EGD until 1pm central time. I'm just hoping it's not too painful if I get the stent

Awww, I'm praying for you, keep us posted.

I had my bypass on June 24. I was cleared today for puréed foods which thrills me. I'm brand new to this site so any guidance is welcome. Hope you all are doing well.

Just enjoyed my dinner of fat free refried beans and a little fat free sour cream. Yum!

Just had the same thing for my dinner , I add a tablespoon of fresh salsa ... and chew chew chew .

I've ha refried beans an salsa for the last few nights. I haven't tired sour cream. I love it but I'm not sure if I can have it yet.

Also today I went to Chili's and got the chicken fajita had them blend it up for me. OMG they were so nice about it and it was sooooo good!!

I'm hungry today.I think I'll have some cream of wheat for my snack before bed. How crazy to go from no hunger to very hungry almost overnight?

June 28 surgery, still on clear liquids until the 8th of June. I had a rougher day than normal today, I think I over did myself yesterday with all the festivities, been feeling weak and tired and dizzy today, had a few hours of crying and wth was I thinking but thankfully that seemed to have passed. My drain tube thing they gave me is driving me crazy it doesn't hurt its just irritating.

highest weight: 380<br />date of surgery weight: 376<br />current weight 366

Spent the afternoon at Mall of America! Was able to walk for HOURS! Felt so good to not have to sit out because my knees were bothering me. Just wanted to share a great day!

Just spent the last two days in the hospital bc my husband had an accident with a handgun misfiring and shot himself in the leg shattering his tibia... I think I was pushing myself a little harder than I should have been before this happened and now I am trying to take care of me and now him as well.

I am so emotional and exhausted right now I have cried and cried. I had all my surgery planned out and this happens and I just don't feel strong enough. Ugh. Sorry to vent. I am just having a huge pity party right here....

I am thankful though that all he has is a hole in his leg and a broken bone. The situation could have been SO SO much worse... And I am thankful and terrified he came home today. I can sleep in my own bed and not that awful hospital pullout...

Yesterday was my first day on pureed and I started off with cottage cheese and tonight I tried egg salad with light mayo. It seems to have gone down well!
