How are you feeling?

It will take the body a little to bounce back after a major surgery for sure. Moving builds up stamina and staying hydrated is a must. One day at a time will get us there!

Yes.....

How much food/liquid are we supposed to be able to hold at this point. Sleeved on 3/28. I had about 8oz of tomato Soup today and about 1/2 cup of cottage cheese throughout the day. I felt like it was coming back up and actually threw up in my mouth. But I don't know if it's possibly acid reflux? Or if I "ate" too much. I'm on the mushy food stage. I'm desperately trying to get down 64oz of Fluid and 60g of Protein and it's near impossible. Yes I've been trying to do Protein shakes but after doing it for 2.5 weeks I got sick and tired of them. Any suggestions for this mushy food phase? Maybe not dairy? I only lost 22 pounds and then hit a plateau already. Anyone else having the same issue?

Unless you've been at that weight for several weeks, it's not a plateau. Just your body trying to catch up with your weight loss and figure out what's going on. I can do 8 oz of soup no problem but thicker foods I eat too fast and it goes from hungry to hurting quickly. I would just stick to foods high in Protein that are still liquid. Split pea soup I had the other day had 14 gms in a can (Amy's low sodium) just be very careful about your choices. Maybe purée the cottage cheese?

8 ounces is way too much at once.. unless you're talking about throughout the day, but even then seems too much. I would try 2 ounces.

I'm onto soft foods starting today and after 3 tablespoons of hummus, I was full. I'm still drinking one bottle of isopure a day to get my 40g of protein. I love these juices because it's different from the shakes. It has 40g of protein per 20oz bottle. No sugar, no carbs. Only 160 calories. Only drawback is it gives tour mouth that dry feeling due to the protein. So, for those having issues with getting their protein in, try this.

Actually I forgot to ask- did anyone poop yet? I haven't gone to the bathroom properly since pre op. I think I'm going to need to take a laxative soon so I don't get all backed up. Anyone else having this problem?

I was told gummies were not allowed, ever again. Be careful.

FYI, sleeved 29th, down 27 lbs total now. My 3rd week post op (now) is supposed to still be liquids. Mushies next week. I may have to start 2 days early haha. I need to chew! But can't complain. I never feel "hungry" just that slight feeling of "I'd like to eat" lol

All things gummy! They take too long to digest etc. check with your doc.

Where do you get the isopure drinks?

Really? How odd. My md and nut told me to eat the gummy mutivits, and gummy fiber. I guess all programs are different.

I'm sure some other docs and nuts have differing opinions.
