I’m so excited to start my chapter

COUNT DOWN 64 DAYS

Sleeved on June 7, 2023 currently on clear liquids. No pain, no issues with water, struggling because I want real food. Will it get easier once I move to puréed/soft foods?

I don't think anyone here can give a definite yes or no. For me it's not that I'm hungry as I've said before. I just miss the social eating and snacking while watching tv. 5 days in on liquid. Fam had takeout today. I had 1ounce cups of Powerade and chicken broth. The only thing keeping me sane right now is researching and planning for my pureed food next week.

You've come so far, hang in there. I'm right here with you. ❤️??

Thank You Veejay! I miss the same things you mentioned. I feel like I’m starving. My stomach gurgles so it feels like hunger pains. I’m fortunate that I’ve had very few issues. I don’t feel like anything was even done even with the hernia repair.

Veejay, you have been the best cheerleader for everyone! You hang in there too!!!

I had hernia repair too. And I guess the bypass is worse because the first few days I dropped f-bombs everytime I moved, breathed, or thought. And coughing......man My soul left my body. The gurgling is probably gas, or your food settling in your pouch. I got that too. We are gonna make it. It's up from here.

My cheerleading is also what keeps me sane love. This process is a big deal. Don't want anyone feeling alone. ?

I was June 7 too! My Dr said I could have one protein shake a day, jello, and popsicle as well as water, broth, and crystal light. However, I drink one ounce of liquid every fifteen minutes. I had to dilute the shake with water because it was a little uncomfortable full strength.

Share what you’re doing for puréed foods. I’m right with you.
