Ice chips?

i had my hubby go get me a huge cup of crushed ice from Sonic. I even ate it with a spoon. It satisfied the need to feel "normal" for a bit

I'm day 18. After a week I was sick of sweet Premier Protein drinks too. My Dr said that if something would suck up s straw it's a liquid. (Can't use straws. Just an example). I've been putting Progresso Soup in my nutribullet and after heating it up adding GENEPRO powdered Protein. It's 30 grams of protein a tablespoon. Saved my sanity. I also have been blending frozen peaches and bananas in my Protein Drinks. A little pumpkin pie spice on the vanilla one is yummy. I heat them up sometimes for hot cocoa or vanilla egg noggishness. I'm on liquids for 4 weeks. That newborn baby stomach needs to heal and I don't want to get ahead of what it can handle.

Chew ice. That's how I got through it! Post op I wanted to kick food and taste stuff so bad, but the ice was a win win because I was chewing and I got more Water in than I would have!

try some refried Beans made with reduced sodium chicken broth. I am 2 weeks out and starving lol. So I made some refried Beans with reduced sodium broth and although I couldn't have but a few spoons of it, it satisfied my hunger and went down well. It also has Fiber and Protein in it but you can add some unflavored Protein powder to it so that you can increase your daily Protein intake.

Peanut Butter warmed in the microwave.

How come I've never thought of this, I freaking love peanut butter!! ????

Wow. My doctor's guidlines are so strict. I have to admit I am 4 weeks post op and I've cheated a little too. I didn't cheat during the liquid phase but I'm on pureed now. Since pureed I have eaten 2 olives, a taste of a corn cake, added Tomato sauce to my refried Beans on 2 occasions before my nutritionist said no tomato sauce and . . . I had 1 cosmopolitan at a holiday party which I later regretted. It was good going down but I felt sick to my stomach overnight and woke up with my mouth feeling and tasting like a sewer. I will not do that again. I also accidentally tasted a carbonated Water. It said grapefruit ice and didn't look carbonated but when I sipped I found it was carbonated and with only half a sip it felt like I was having a heart attack. No carbonation for me.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
