I'm about a week and a half post op and I've started mixing half a Premier Protein drink (the strawberry and cream, peaches and cream, or bananas and cream) with Celestial Seasonings Country Peach Passion Herbal Tea. The Protein Drinks bother my stomach a little, but mixing it with the tea seems to help. The tea is chamomile with hints of peach.

I wish I'd read this thread sooner, as I did find that ginger and mint teas no longer agree with my stomach like they used to.

The most soothing thing to my stomach so far has been Broths, mostly bone broths that I add a little seasoning too. I wish tea's would go down as easily! Hopefully soon.

I’m right there with you in the broth. Here’s what I add for more flavor to the Bone Broth. Hope suggestions help!

I was given Decaf tea in the hospital. My stomach wouldn’t tolerate anything cold. At home all I drink in peppermint tea. It doesn’t bother my stomach at all.

      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!!
