Yes....empathy. I remember that first week well. I was weak weak weak......

I was not even allowed Protein in week 1 other than what is in chicken broth.

The next week I was allowed full liquids and i was in 7th heaven. Then pureed foods came and I did not do well so I basically stayed on full liquids until I could move to soft foods. LOL.

I feel for you but it will be better soon!

This is a HARD week for sure!! But...I can remember being so afraid to eat real food!! I was on Protein drinks 2 weeks before my RNY and 4 weeks after. So when I could go to soft foods I was afraid to eat anything. But...my hubby bought a Watermelon and I remembered my PA telling me anything I could blend I could have!! So I thought to myself watermelon is mostly Water and real soft I'll just chew chew and chew some more. ( I didn't blend it) Well, let me say that darn watermelon gave me the back door trots in the worse way!!! It scalded my bottom!! Well to this day ( 3 years out) I have not had even 1 bite of watermelon!! Funny stuff.

Yeahhhhhh... like I want tomato Soup so bad but I'm afraid of dying afterward

I so remember that clear liquid stage. I thought I just had bypass why is my tummy hungry. Then full liquids came and I never thought Soups would be so good. Then on to purees and it was all smooth sailing from there. So, you are not alone. It's gets easier.

Had my RenY 9/27 too. My follow-up appt is today. I have basically been sipping Water since surgery. The nausea only started yesterday and was severe along with intense burning chest pain. I am so weak. I'm looking forward to getting some energy back.

Water and occasional broth has been my routine. But I can't say I've really been hungry. I am looking forward to some yogurt, strained cream soup, just something different! I've dropped 17 pounds since the day of surgery. That has been a really good feeling!

I had a RNY on 9/29 and feel the same way. I'm not hungry as in my stomach but I feel like I'm starving my body, I am SO weak! I'm currently having a SF popsicle

I have them now and it's less than 24 hours before my surgery!

Try some broth, warm tea, SF sorbet
