Hey all! I just joined. I'm 4 days post. Feeling sore and having acid reflux issues just got medicine this afternoon. How long did it take all of you to not feel that sensation when you swallow?

Wow Grandma2 that is great!!! Oh and that is also my surgery date. Looks like the 19th is going to be a great day for us both

Yes it is you will be A big help to me did you say your on liquid diet now

Today I had cream of wheat with a little agave. Propel water, protein pudding, cup of half broth and half cream of mushroom soup strained of course, added my genepro flavorless powder, water, 1/2 Greek yogurt 1/2 applesauce. So far I'm at 55 grams of protein. I'm happy.

Yes I am on day 6 of liquid diet I lost another 3 pounds for a total of 22 pounds in 6 days. But then again I do have a lot to lose so that might be why I am losing so much

@@happymama2014 sounds like you are doing a fantastic job at eating. I am have celiac disease so I wont be able to eat oatmeal or cream of wheat and most soups contain wheat so I guess I will be making my own soups after the surgery

Jenn that's awesome, a great jump start to you weight loss success!!!!

Happy what are you post surgery ? If so what day

I'm going to my primary tomorrow so I'll find out how much I've lost. I'm very curious. Tomorrow will be 8 days post. I only know my weight from my pre op appt. I'm not weighing myself at home. I'll let Ya know!!! Also, had sugar free oatmeal tonight. It was SO good and went down pretty easy!!!!

Hi All, One week tomorrow! How am I feeling? Better everyday, started out rough because of soreness, gas, all of the normal but feeling better as each day passes. The hardest thing is trying to get in all my protein and water my stomach doesn't hold very much now! I just to to fast forward 6 weeks so I can eat solid foods!

I'm on day 4. Rough few days then better and better! Happy to report I have not had to drink one yucky sweet protein drink and was able to get in 60+ protein ... If you can have dairy try light and fit yogurt from any grocery store and protein pudding from vitamin shoppe! Wonderful, easy to eat and you can eat small bites over a half hour or ore if needed. Take half at a time. And hot beef broth really goes down well tastes good and mixed with protein powder is awesome. Still not sure what's gas what's hungry and whats full vs acid. But I feel so good I feel so blessed to have made this choice. Lbs are dropping so fast. Can't wait til next month, start eating normal small meals and move on with life! Happy mama here ????

Sleeving I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to hear your loss amount!!! Jamie, I'm so glad things are getting easier for you too. You both give me hope, I was on a feed yesterday with many weeks and even months after just making it sound so bad. I know everyone heals different but love to know what things you each did since surgery.

Happy momma , you are doing awesome. You give me great inspiration. Thanks again for all your helpful updates!!!
