[Peace Love & Sleeve 27]

No sorry that didn't happen to me but I would think it shouldn't bleed too much. 2nite all I had was a popsicle and Water and I just threw it up with bile I called my dr today and they said just keep up with liquids .... so frustrating

How long until everyone felt back to normal? ???

[xmaleengyx 25]

It's only 5 days out and I'm starting to feel sad. Like when will I be normal again. I feel like I will never be able to enjoy food or even just physically eat again. I can't tolerate more than 2 Oz of liquid. It's extra hard when everyone is able to eat at family dinners but me....especially my mother's home cooked meals that I really love. I know rice is out for 6 months which is going to be very difficult coming from a Hispanic household. It's a staple. We eat it with everything. Tonight was my brother in laws birthday and on the menu for the normal people was arroz con Pollo and ice cream cake...both My faves. Is it normal to feel sad??

I know im going to get yelled at for this question but, Has anyone been tempted to eat solids sooner than allowed?

Everyone or close to it. It's just head hunger you must stay the course follow surgeons directions.

Don't chew food and spit it out either that's just going to make it worse.

@@Jersrose43 thank you for your response. I feel better. Not so unnormal at this stage.

I'm sorry I honestly had an unremarkable course. No depression or sadness about missing food. No gas, nausea or vomiting. I didn't have pain and so far I've tolerated everything I try to eat. I felt pretty much back to normal within about a week. Stopped getting super tired that I needed a nap midday probably around week 3.

I tried peaches from a cup and was violently ill. I'm 13 days and on only liquid since I don't feel good.

@@BLERDgirl what a blessing. I envy you. I think my age makes it a bit more difficult. Everyone around me in their twenties eat like a typical twenty something year old...food trucks, pizza, fried food, latenight whataburger, alcohol etc. Most of them do it without gaining any weight. Oh, how I hate that! I've had to distance myself from these people while I recover. I know this is what's best for me, but I'm human and I do feel like I'm missing out at times.

I did and as long as i chew chew chew chew chew until squishy I was fine. Solids are a lit harder to get in than liquids for me but I was needing to chew. Three weeks out and I'm still primarily on liquids/purée but I've introduced the insides of a quesadilla, pot roast, hard boiled egg, egg /mushroom scramble, and some crab meat. Made the mistake of gobbling down some crab meat without properly chewing and I thought I was going to die when it seemed to get stuck! It was awful feeling so I've since taken it much easier on my new insides.

Good luck.

I did chips I had to chew something!!! I'm about a week and a half out.. ???? probably wasn't a good thing .. I haven't vomited or anything since 2days after my surgery.. I'm scared that my pouch isn't as small as it should.. But also happy because I haven't been in pain as of yet and I can tolerate almost everything I've been able to eat..

I didn't sleep at all last night. when I lay down I cough. I couldn't keep down cream of wheat again today. I don't know what to do. I am living off only liquids, no Protein and can't keep my Vitamins down
