Anyone set for surgery for October? I'm scheduled for October 8th and would like to find someone or more to keep in touch with. Getting nervous.....

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

Bypass

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?

Hey I had surgery on the 8th. How are you feeling? I'm still a little sore but moving along.

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.

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

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.

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.

Tangiceleste- they have a bit of a tart taste and it's like a very thin syrup consistency. Not bad,

@ TangiCeleste I am glad you are doing good. Did you & your hubby work things out? I started cleaning today swept a couple floors but got a left side pain. I wonder if its a stitch or something.
