You look great. Keep it up!

Can a can of say Progressive chicken noodle or chicken and rice Soup be put in a blender for the puréed stage. I was wondering about the ingredients like rice or Pasta in the soup. Since they are really not allowed would I take them out before I purée the soup? The it would be just the meat veggies and broth to purée.

My belly is making a lot of gurgling sounds too. But I do not have or had any gas pains. Today I was passing gas and loose BM. I heard the saying somewhere here "do not trust a fart" happy I heard that before I tested I out. Lol.

I had surgery the day after you. I am struggling to get fluids in. So far just 20 oz today. Just broke down crying after fixing dinner for my family realizing how far behind I am on my fluids today. I am so scared of being put back into the hospital for dehydration. I am trying to sip all day but after I get a pain in my chest for a few seconds. I am just starting my second bottle of crystal lite. But this has NO protein. I guess I should be using the isopure to get fluids and protein at one shot.

I am sleeping on my back in my bed propped up with pillow. Need help getting out of bed. Now I just noticed my contact lens are not clearing up my vision as normal First day wearing them again since Monday. Very strange.

Oh my I was tired for the first two and a half days while in hospital I couldn't keep my eyes open. I am on just a clear liquid diet now so getting no protein. As for water today my first full day at home I can't seem to get it in. So far only about 5 oz. I never had nausea or vomiting while in hospital but was given a pill to take in case that I am at home. At hospital was given nausea med in my IV .

What does acid reflux and heart burn feel like. I never had this before. What I have now is sometimes after a sip of water I get a pain in my chest between my boobs. I am 5 days post op.

I was waiting for those gas pains to come but they never did. I just have gurgling noise from my belly. I am 5 days postop so I am hoping for some wonderful reason they passed me by. I remember from my four c-sections the gas pain where the worst. I am not on any pain killers either. The liquid stuff felt like fire going down I just imagine how my sleeve would feel about it.

Quite often after I take a sip to drink I get this pressure like pain in my chest like between my boobs for just a few seconds. I don't think that my sip is too big but.... What is this pain. I never before had reflux or heartburn prior to this so I don't know what that feels like.

I was also sleeved on 10/23. I agree, the first two days were he'll. pain for me wasn't that bad, but I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open until Thursday. I was released from hospital 10/26 rather than the day before because my drain was putting out so much blood/fluid. Never really had gas pains but so much gurgling which is just annoying. Was sent home with a bunch of pill prescriptions and was wondering if I can take them but I assume if the dr prescribed them it will be ok. Now just trying to drink fluids I feel pretty good still pain in the belly area at the larger incision site and hard to get out of bed with out help. But everyday is just a bit better for me.

I am 3 days post op. Not so much gas pain just some gurgling in the belly. I was expected to go home today but the area of the port hurts a lot. And the collection bulb is fill up with blood quite often. My dr says it should have lessened by now. Waiting to see dr again to see if he will release me or stay another night. I actually want to stay I don't want something to happen while I am home. The leak test was good didn't find a leak. DID ANY ONE HAVE THIS EXCESSIVE BLOOD AMOUMT IN THERE DRAINS TOO? If anyone else had this please let me know what you were told and if anything what did the dr to? Thanks!!!

Good luck to you Donny. I was sleeved the day after you on Tuesday the 23rd. I should be released today. I was do tired the First and second day. Passed the leak test, i am allowed water, crystal light, tea and jello today. Hoping not to go home with the drainage tube dull in me.

My surgery is scheduled for 10/23, five days away! I have a cold now for the last three days; runny/stuffy nose, nasal drip and mild cough & wheezing (I do not have asthma), NO fever/chills. I was wondering if my surgey would be postponned. I spoke to docotor's office today and explained yet they don't seem to be too concerned. I am hoping to be better by then. My first date of 10/1 was postponned (5 days before) due to low iron, now I am scared my 10/23 date will be postponned. But I guess better to be on the side of caution. Any thoughts???

I made it through. Oh soooo tired could not keep my eyes open after and today. Walking around and a breathing thing to be used. Passed the leak test and trying to drink water slowly. Catheter is out. Gas pain and incision pain. Getting liquid Tylenol with codine now.

On my way to hospital now, 7:45 is my time. Good luck to ALL of us!!!

No trouble breathing. The first two days it was just a runny/stuffy nose and then last night a bit of wheezing/cough and same today and also that constant clearing if my throat from nasal drip, but my nose lightened up a little today.

The 23rd for me. Does that count? :-).

Iron transfusions worked! Surgery is on 10/23.

Exactly what I was trying to say. Thanks. Some of us have been overweight for so long and dieted for many years but just did not document it. Now it has to be documented for insurance reasons. Then again some people after their first visits their insuance company request documention from that point on for say 6 months. What I was required was the previous 6 months information which ok i did have to "guesstimate". Insurance requirement vary, and this worked for me.
