My doctor said I was really oozy..maybe that's why I got so lucky lol

I need suggestions on what to eat. I'm on Clear Liquids only and would like a variety of something besides Water and crystal light. I tried a o calorie sobe water last night. It tasted awful

Last night my husband went to my favorite chimes restaurant and purchased a Won Ton Soup, but the broth only and it was really good. I am with you though, clear liquids as well and Crystal light and water have become uGh.

I can't believe how long they want you on clear liquids. I had very little output in my drain before they took it out so I haven't noticed much drainage. What you want to worry about is if the drainage increased or if it smells or looks like pus.

I didn't have a drain. My doc said he only puts them in less than one percent of people.

When I was on clear liquids only I bought chicken bouillon cubes with added spices and put two in about 10 oz of Water and boiled. I liked that much better than broth.< /p>

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
