Late December Sleevers?

[abefroman329 704]

2 weeks is way too early for rice, even well-chewed. The BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) diet they normally recommend when you can’t keep anything down doesn’t apply for now.

Yes, mine was:
Days 1 and 2 (day 1 was surgery day) - clear liquids
Days 3-14 - full liquids
Days 15 and 16 - pureed foods
Days 17-28 - very soft foods
Days 29-42 - soft foods
Days 43+ - general diet
I'm considering starting soft foods this weekend (should start on Wednesday the 17th) bc I've tolerated else I've tried and I'm starving eating only very soft foods.

I had my surgery on 12/20 Clear Liquids the first 14 days and than full liquids for 28 days...she said next appt 1/31 she will see about adding pureed.
I tried 2 oz of tuna 21 days out and had no issues but she was not happy.

I have no energy and getting frustrated.

I have a question.... 3 1/2 weeks out and today I started feeling lightheaded and felt like a icy hot cool feeling in my arms brurry vision a little and I’m drinking 70 ounces a Water a day... could this be dehydration still? Or something else? I’m nervous. What else could this be? How could I still be dehydrated if I drink this amount?

Tonight I steamed some baby bok choy and carrots and puréed them in the Magic Bullet. I also added a little seasoned salt for flavoring, and it was so good! I have never missed veggies so much in my life. I also had a half a cup of pureed pinto Beans with some shredded string cheese stirred in. The consistency was a little weird, but it tasted good.

Hi I’m an December sleever, I’m 4 weeks post op and I can only have purée food.

I was told no rice till after normal foods are introduced.

Mine was Dec 21, 2017. Is anyone else having troubles keeping solids and liquids down at this stage? I feel a little embarrassed to put this out there but we are all adults that are going to experience this so here goes, I am also constipated. Could this be a reason I can't keep anything down? I really haven't passed much since I've started solids.

I’m just scared I won’t be able to keep anything down and will be nauseated all the time. And getting dehydrated scares me too. I have anxiety as it is so I worry anyway.

I can't keep anything down and I'm 4-5 weeks out at the moment and Ive already been hospitalized for dehydration....it really sucks. Make sure you try to get as many fluids as possible down.

You should probably get checked out. I can't see it being dehydration. But if you release it as fat as you're taking it in, I guess it could be a possibility.

I’m almost 3 weeks and stay nauseous. I have a very hard time keep stuff down. Usually I can keep down 4oz Protein Shake, 2 oz Soup, then 2oz soup and that’s it for an entire day. Usually I might be able to get about 24oz if Water a day and that’s pushing it. Oh and I also tAke At least 1 zofran a day, usually 2.idk what’s going on with me, but I hope it gets better on. It’s pretty miserable.

I have realized my situation. Was still dehydrated even tho taking in 48-60 oz of Fluid because I wasn’t eating much and then I am lacking serious minerals in my body

How’s everyone doing?! My surgery was 12/28 and I’m already on soft foods but thank god for Prevacid because my heart burn is crazy. How are you late December sleepers doing?!

I was also horribly constipated. I took Dulcolax mild OTC and it helped me SO much! I only had to take it once. My doctor said Constipation is normal with everything our systems are dealing with on top of anesthesia.

I have found myself nauseous as well. The doctor told me at my 2 week appointment not to worry about food and focus on my liquids. I found a low calorie Protein Drink that I found my system likes. Its called Protein20. I think dairy is what many of people have a difficult time with. I know I did.
