I am a self patient and just scheduled for June 6, 2018!!! I’m excited!

BMI: 36.35

Weight: 199

Yup a whole scoop into 12oz of Soup. Only drank half the Soup because it’s so filling. I’ll save the rest for another time.  I also ordered from Amazon 

.

Thank you for the update. I'm glad you have support and the surgery went great. I wish you have a speedy recovery !

I am craving chewing, soooo tired of liquids. Not really hungry to be honest, but really looking forward to the soft phase and be able to eat scrambled eggs.

Have jello or a popsicle for the chewing effect

Cannot do sugar free stuff, taste horrible and linger ?

Really! I found the sugar free to be sweet. Lol. My taste buds are so off but I’m on my 3rd day so that’s to be expected

What about freezing your protein shake as homemade popsicles ? I do that and it's good. But I gotta say I have been on purees since 3 days and it's a game changer. Hang on it won't be very long

Awesome, I am walking a lot. I got used to do it so because my gas pain was really really bad. I had to stay one extra day on the hospital. Even though I don’t have pain anymore I still walk every couple hours for 30 minutes or more. Yesterday was my follow up, had the staples removed and cleared to drive. Life is coming back to normal.

That’s a great idea, I will try that. I just bought the isopure unflavored protein so I will come up with some chewable frozen goodness.

I made ice pops with these also. Very sweet but good

Great suggestions here! One thing to note is that my vision is royally messed up! I can hardly read as I type (even wearing my glasses). Sorry in advance for any typos lol...

Ok, so I had surgery 6/13. I am not doing well. Whenever I swallow something it feels like a heavy weight is on my chest. And the incision where they removed my stomach from is soooo swollen and painful. I wish I was doing as well as some of you! My doc said she might have tightened things too much and I may need to have my esophagus dilated if it doesn't stop hurting when I swallow.

But dang does my left side hurt!! I can't get comfortable sitting or lying down, and when I stand up to walk, the pain takes my breath away! Is anyone else struggling like me?
