April sleevers!?

[sonjak1 12]

I'm almost two weeks out and I'm having a hard time with the liquids. I don't like the taste of anything. Ugh

I have been using anything from Crystal Light to Crush drink packets. The pineapple is yummy. It certainly made drinking my Water so easy

I feel alien liking plain old ice Water so much.

Anyhow, I started soft solids a day early, was supposed to start Thursday.

Had some Beans and block (grated) cheddar cheese melted in with the beans and a tad of mild sauce (all in all about 1/3 of a cup). Went down just fine, started to feel the restriction. Later will try Ragu meat sauce with super tiny bits of ground beef and see how that goes. Scrambled eggs possibly too. This is the part of the diet I've looked forward to so much. Eggs and beans are being permanently incorporated into my post-op diet whereas the meat sauce will give way to actual beef (like a burger) and chicken (tenders) in a week or two when I try that.

Found something that's been working for me the last few days and I've been able to get in at least 30oz of liquid with only being 1 week post op I think thats great.

Adam&Eve 100% apple juice with no sugar added. It's about 22 grams of sugar in the whole bottle but I dilute it with Water otherwise it's way to sweet. I do about 1/2 cup apple juice and 1/2 cup of water and it taste just perfect.




This works for me, if it doesn't work for you I hope you find something that will soon!

I just have to say, when I first read 'Adam & Eve', I thought 'they make apple juice?'. So I googled it and found out, no they don't, but Apple & Eve do, hahaha. Thanks for the laugh and I'm glad you found something you like to drink!

I love ice Water. It took me an hour, but I actually drank 16oz this morning. When I read others having a problem with cold water a couple months ago, it just made me sad. So I'm glad I'm able to drink it.

I've been on the puréed diet since day 2 and eggs, scrambled or a cheese omelette, have been on there. Actually, I just made a one egg cheese omelette and ate half. They go down easily and the restriction gets real about four small bites in. I'll be in the soft food stage soon and will try your bean recipe.

Hope you're feeling better everyday!

You'll have to save your shopping for Adam and Even for when you're feeling better.

Yesss. And when my wife gets her sodas from eating out, I tell her to get extra ice.. I empty out the rest of her drink and I just eat the ice.

If you're weird and you know it clap your hands. *clap clap*
