Hi all,
Thought I'd say hi. Sleeved on 12/18, so I'm on phase 2. I'm scared to introduce too much too quickly. So far, just tried yogurt, applesauce, and SF pudding. Finally got some unflavored Protein powder, too! Anyone try it with mashed potatoes?
Also, sorry if this is TMI, but I've had nothing but loose stools for the last week or so (after being constipated at first, go figure!) Other than that, I've felt good!

I haven't, but I made some sweet potatoes with chicken Bone Broth, and blended them with spices, and it was like thicker baby food consistency. It was delicious! The sweet potatoes have lots of good Vitamins and bone both has 9 grams of Protein per cup, so it worked well. I'm hoping to experiment with some other things like that this week. I steamed some butternut squash that I haven't used yet .

I am one week post-op today! Yay, I made an entire week!! Anyways I haven’t been driving, but today I drove about 10 minutes away from home and got nauseous. I was wondering if anybody else feels this way when they drive? I go back to work tomorrow and I have about a 45 minute commute each way and I’m worried about getting sick 😩. Congrats to any other 12/26 sleevers!! We made an entire week!! I’ll admit at times I didn’t think I would, but we did!!

I too am back to work with a similar commute actually 2 hours in the evening. I did alright this morning however, I made some adjustments for my abdomen. (A makeshift roll so that the seat belt wouldn't rub me) also I took care to take one of the meds for nausea before I left. I am doing my best to get up and walk around a bit like every 45 mins if I am able to. My stomach is at a 6 - 7 painwise. I have my Water, Soup, and an applesauce squeeze pack, Protein for Breakfast. Wishing you all a great day!

Well I’m a teacher so standing up will definitely not be a problem lol. I have my nausea meds, I’m just worried about them making me tired :( and yes I plan to have all my meals ready to go, so I don’t mess anything up.

My doctor said 4 weeks off of work, but cleared me to go back after 7 days because I work at a sit down job in an office.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
