Hi! Im looking for a partner. I had my surgery done on the 24th

I think it would be great to share our lows and our highs. Share our journey together. So, if you're a female, (nothing againist you men) its just women I can talk with

Please send me a message. Thank you!

Right now im drinking clear Isopure. I think its flavored fruity. It has 40 grams of protien in it. Im also drinking propel. Why are you struggling to drink? Just curious, because when I drink, I take small drinks, but I immediately feel like I have to burp myself. Im hoping that will go away the more out from the surgery I get. Have you felt like that? Do you have to burp yourself. I just pat my chest. It feels like I have a burp stuck and it wont come out after drinking. So, do you feel like your stomach wont hold Fluid?

Me too! My swelling is so bad! I went in the hospital at 239. And came out of the hospital at 251. Thats how much fluids and swelling I had. I hope it goes away soon for for the both of us.

Hey misty yeah on purred food at the moment and find eating with a teaspoon really helps, slowing down the speed which I eat due to go back to work on Monday but I have an office job so should be fine, but literally the day after surgery I was fine with no pain

Yeah same here, im just trying to get as much fluids in as i can. For me room temp liquid goes down a little easier, ill have to try hotter liquid that might help the swelling go down faster.

Mine was one on the 25th, the gas pain for the first 2 days was terrible. I am flying home later today. Pain is a bit better today, I would love to chew something. I can feel/hear little bubbles come up every time I take a drink now.

Had my surgery on the 23rd, the first day I was in really bad pain (my surgeon said it was probably due to my hernia repair) it was hard at first getting all my fluids in. Yesterday was the first day I was able to get both my fluids and Protein in. I use an unflavored protein and put it in my Water with crystal light, actual shakes are too heavy for me to handle. Today is easier getting fluids down, only complaint right now is sleeping really sucks:/

Mixing it, started off on the baby food stuff that pre made and blended Soups, had mince and mash and carrots all blended, corn beef and mash, sweet potato mash and veg blended, tried pulled pork blended and seems to be no issue, eating slowly is the key for me and knowing to walk away from the plate

I had mine on Jan 23rd and boy oh boy am I struggling to get any kind of liquid down without this burning and painful sensation in my chest. Is this happening to you guys?
