I know some of you may think I'm nuts, or that I'm brilliant, who knows, but I am a single mom and I had to feed my kids those first few weeks whether I could eat or not. So 5 days out, I'm frying bacon, eggs, all the goodies. I was about to break and cheat. So I started taking a mouthful of whatever I wanted, chewed it up, then spit it in the trash and rinsed with Water to be sure none went down. It helped with the cravings. I felt it was better than eating and hurting myself.

I am feeling better and it is a new day!!!! I just have to look at as like I only have a couple more days before I go back to the doctor. I just feel like a bottomless pit. I read stuff about people who can't drink a lot or it takes them 3 hours to drink a 8oz Protein Drink and that is so not me. I hope I haven't done anything to my band. I will make it, not cheat and I owe that to ya'll!!!! THANKS!!!!!

Reenie, I tried that with a meatball the other day. All it did was make my stomach even angrier with me since it got a taste but no meatball came its way. It's just easier for me to go without food until Monday when can start mushies.

Glad it worked for you though!

If you are on a full liquid diet you should be able to have cream of wheat. Having been on many after surgery I know that most hospitals serve it but you could call your local hospital & ask. Custard is also on full liquid and has a chewy texture then pudding. I'm just thankful that my doc didn't require this kind of diet. Hang in there you will be done soon and it just a minor bump in the road.:rolleyes2:

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
