My surgery is next Monday! Started my 1 week diet with a vanilla protein shake. Not too bad but it's early. Looking forward to my journey and wishing the best for everyone involved in this process!

Hey. Sorry I have been away from this. I'm on day 2 of post op and I'm doing well. No issues and moving along. I start full liquids tomorrow. Still a little gas here and there but other than that and lack of sleep I'm good. How about you?

Im home and gas is big issue and cant seem to get fluids in.and yea lack of sleep is crazy

Hi there pleased the op went well. Why are you not getting enough sleep?

Seemed like everytime i would fall asleep a nurse,aid or whoever would wake me for vitals or blood etc. I did sleep decent last night at home and feel alittle more energized today.

Yeah same here. I'm still not sleeping that well but it's improving. Other than that everything is going well. Water and protein shakes are going down great. Gonna walk a bunch more today since the weather is nice.

Waynejr83 im having a tough time getting water and protein down,seems like my tastebuds hate them i tried sugar free jello and pop sickles and they seemed way to sweet. Any pointers?

I wish I had some tips. I seem to be getting everything down just find. As long as the water and shakes are cold. I mix jello in between Almost have a whole shake in today. Have you tried different flavored waters?

Yea just got some water flavors i got 1/2 cup of tea down earlier and was tired so went to bed and got a rush of energy and felt like my stomach was saying hey dummy eat. So here at 10:13pm im slowly eating sf pudding with protein powder.

No more pudding till 2 week check up

I have been eating jello and Popsicles I ran out of shakes and can't drive so hoping my friend can take me to get them tomorrow. I swore I had more but couldn't find them. My first dr appointment is Tuesday

I was doing ok today until i tried a premeire vanilla and it hit me right away with bloating and nausea and about 3 hours later i had large bout of loose stools

Oh man. Sorry your having those issues. Hope it turns around. My only issue out of all this is I'm not sleeping well. It's frustrating! I did notice today without my shakes I found myself a little more hungry than usual. Getting more shakes tomorrow.

Waynejr83 how are you doing? Im struggling to get fluids in and am close to dehydration and no real luck on my protein drinks they turn my gut.

Hey hope things are progressing! I started my purée stage today. So far so good. Taking everything in with no issues. I really hope things turn around for you!
