Finally!

[KrissySMD 38]

I'm 9days post op and am FINALLY feeling like I can put stuff in my new tummy! Not much, mind you. But better than the last 8days when I couldn't even get Water to stay. I'm still burpy and gassy. But I found that as long as I sit up for good 30 minutes, it actually feels OK.

Hope everyone else is doing well! Have a great weekend coming up.

Congratulations! One day at a time, one pound at a time. Just keep sipping!

I am so happy to see this post, I am 1 day post-op and very bubbly, I can't really call them burps, it is just air that creeps up my throat instead of burping its way out. I am half way through the day and have had 4 oz Water and 2 oz chicken broth, and maybe 1 oz of clear Jello. I feel like I have eaten a mega dinner and just taking my sips is difficult. I am staying with it and will soldier on! Come on 9 days postop! I return to work on day 10 so I want to feel somewhat normal by then :-D

I'm 5 days out and I totally feel you, I know I'm getting enough liquid, but the Jello is a no go so far, my.sleeve. does not like it. So I'm sticking with Water broth popsicles and Isopure drinks.< /p>

I'm 11 days post surgery. I'm having no problem with Water, but Protein Shakes still fill me up. I get in maybe two Protein shakes spread out over the day. About the only other thing I eat are brothy Soups (just the liquid from Tomato or clam chowder) and V8. Maybe 2-3 oz of Soup and I feel full. The soups are nice because I can find them fairly easily at restaurants and it maintains a semblance of normalcy.

I get to move on to purred food soon. I'll probably just add scrambled eggs and finely diced chicken mixed with broth or gravy. I should be able to get enough protein there to back off of the shakes a bit.
