So happy everyone is recovering well. I've been able to hold down whatever I eat with no problems. Dream of crunch , even a salad: ) I've been doing cream of chicken Soup made with skim milk and drained, Tomato Soup. V8 juice, sugar free pudding thinned with milk, cream of wheat thinned a lot with cinnamon and sugar free maple Syrup, Protein shakes. Taking Vitamins well.

What have you've been able to eat? I am still two weeks away I think from food. How long are you out from surgery?

Had my surgery Oct 7, I'm on a full liquid diet, I listed above what I've been eating so far. Add sugar free popcycles and caffeine free herbal tea too. I just add skim milk to thin everything

Did you have the bypass, sleeve or the lap band?

Ok. I had my surgery on the 8th. I have gas pains so bad it is waking me up on in my sleep. It is all in my back. Any suggestions. I can barley get enough Water down. Just adds more gas. I sip really slowly. It took me 12 hours to get 16 oz down and my pee is still too dark.

Any suggestions?

Still some pain, better everyday. Cleaning and organizing house, will be a week since gastric bypass surgery tomorrow. Finished a Protein Shake this am, feeling accomplished.

Yes it's amazing how the smallest things make us feel great! Have you tried "New Whey" Protein bullets? They have 0 sugar and have 42 grams of protein and it's only 4oz. Check them out. I use one a day along with 1 protein shake and 32oz of Water, 2 oz of Jello and about 5 oz of broth. I just take an ounce of one item every 30-45 minutes, more often with water. It also helps if I leave it in the kitchen, it forces me to walk to get it. Just my little tricks so far.

Buffer, I find walking helps. However I am using Gas X strips. They help me alot.

Thank you. Just got off the treadmill walked a mile. Walking was fine. Still a little sore in the lower right hand side of my abdomen. Not bad though. Still a lot of air. I am going to the Gas X strips next. Wondering if I should lay off the eating and only work on Water.

I found them at my grocery store, HEB- San Antonio tx. But you can order them on Amazon. Here is a pic of what they look like.

** I also added the Protein mix from Special K - has 5g of Protein, I split the package between 2 bottles of Water, it's kind of sweet( no sugar Fyi) I have only seen it in kiwi/ strawberry.post-235564-14132217077351_thumb.jpg post-235564-14132216275707_thumb.jpg post-235564-14132216418756_thumb.jpg post-235564-14132216529916_thumb.jpg post-235564-14132216647153_thumb.jpg

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
