So I've been back at work since Tuesday. My procedure was 09/12. I've been doing so much better pain wise. I haven't needed meds for pain in 2 days. I'm on day 8 now. My main issue now is bloating and gas discomfort. I've been taking gas-x but nothing is working and i feel like a balloon. Lol. I have 2 more weeks of full liquids but I'm dreaming of some sort of real food. how is everyone else doing? Any tips or tricks? Please share!

Yeah, the gas was a problem for me the first week after. I just COULDN'T get rid of it. I wanted to...but couldn't. All I can say is...it'll pass? (Cheeky pun. Make that two cheeky puns.)

What kinds of things are on your liquid diet? Just shakes? I found a brand of chicken soup protein mix that got me through. Sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free jello also helped some.

I do shakes twice a day. I'm thinking of ordering some bariatric soups to mix it up because just the shakes is so boring and simple broth is flavorless and depressing. Nice pun lol. 2 more weeks of this. Never in my life has pureed scrambled eggs sounded appetizing until now. I can't wait to have texture back in my life.

I had a routine, but I tend to eat food on a routine anyways (always order the same thing at a given restaurant). Two shakes broken into two parts each, one bowl of soup broken in two parts. Six mini meals. I put cumin in the soup, gave it a little more flavor. Three weeks of it...was still miserable. The popsicles broke it up a little.
