Jaadan79. I know all drs are different. Just reading these threads and reading when people are eating the different stages is SO different from what my dr says.

That being said, have you called your dr about your throat? My dr only wants his office to see his patients the first 4-6 weeks. (With a visit to pcp)
My first post op visit is one week after surgery. I need to call because they do have 24H service and someone could call me back. My doctor’s paperwork they gave me want us to continue postop visits up to 5 years after surgery.

How r you doing? Now I feel like I have a fever

Wow! Call your doctor ️ I don’t feel like that but drinking is a challenge. It’s harder than I thought it would be. I used to like the Protein Drinks before surgery, but now I can’t hardly tolerate them. R U drinking enough? It may be dehydration if not

Go with the 1 oz cups, every 15 minutes, I hate lukewarm plain Water, I admit it, but I tell myself" Frustr8 this is for your health, if not for thirst, think of it as medicine" and I do it. After that go to 2oz, even my strictured swollen Precious Pouch will take 2 oz, that's 8 oz an hour, if you are awake 8 hours your 64 oz is in and done. Weak green or Decaf tea, Crystal light, mio, was there a flavor,you used to like? I liked orange, I used to like lemonade, so lemon with a drop or 2 of stevia, strawberry-kiwi does it for me. Everybody has a taste they can tolerate. Your hydration is a worthwhile project. Got to keep on keeping on, I should know, I have had thorns along with the roses in my recovery, I have had to revert back to the 2 oz plan, I also have TPN running 14 hours to help with my nutrition and fluids, but I am not giving up and you shouldn't either. Come on, let's do this together, I'm game, are you?

That's not good! Maybe it's from the tube being down your throat for surgery. My lip is still numb so that's weird lol. Or you could have a cold too. My mouth was so dry for a couple of days but is good now. I want to start eating something more but dont know when I can do that.

Jeannine - I spoke with my surgeon and he confirmed everything you said as what may be going on. I feel a lot better now that I got the chloraseptic spray and some cold medicine.

Thank you again!!

This is most helpful, THANK you! I’m going to give these lil cups a try today. I can’t stomach this Premier Protein drink but I’m freezing it and trying it that way today as well and mixing in the tasteless kind into my cream of wheat and broth. If this all works I’ll be good! Yes, we got this and we are worth it

I got burned out on the premier shakes and switched to GNC lean shakes..they have 25grams of Protein. The strawberry is pretty good.

Haven’t heard of those, I’ll add it to my list of new stuff to try. Today, I got tired of the gurgles in my stomach so I tried a lil cream of wheat and so far so good 😊 it’s stayed down with no problem 🙏

I was shocked that I enjoyed it with no sugar and butter.. my usual additions. It helped me to know that those choices are not good or necessary. I guess im learning 😊

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
