I've had so much fluids today it's ridiculous, between popsicles, broth, gatorade, and snapple, I've been drinking like a fish. I feel fine, but I can seem to quench my thirst no matter how much I drink. Anyone ever feel this?

I'm a week post-op, would I be ok with egg drop and wonton soup? I'm so sick of Gatorade and Crystal light, I need taste.

It was amazing! It hit the spot

I'm post-op day 5. Since yesterday I've been mad at myself for doing this and praying that I could go back in time and not do it. I'm miserable. If I don't take tiny tiny sips then I get an excruciating pain in my throat, chest, and stomach. I can only stomach 40g of protein a day and I can't drink more than 32oz without getting a painful lump in my throat. I feel like I'm never going to be able to eat my favorite foods again or be normal. I'm absolutely miserable. Anyone else feel like this?

So I just had a pudding cup, 3.25oz to be exact. I wasn't even to the garbage to throw it away yet when I got sweaty, my stomach started rumbling, and I had a little bit of reflux. What happened? Anyone else have this happen to them?

Yeah I think it's because I ate too much of it because I had it the other day and it didn't bother me.

I'm a week post-op and I'm on a PPI. I had two bites of it the other day too and nothing happened. It's not sugar free but I've been eating other things that have sugar in them and they haven't bothered me. I think I ate too much, but I didn't get a full feeling, I never do.

Yesterday I felt amazing and today I'm very tired and have no energy. I just want to crawl into bed. Anyone ever experience this?

I can't lay on my left side, it's very tender but it only bothers me when I lay on it. It's fine otherwise. Anyone else experience this?

Just thinking of some foods that are considered pureed. Is velveeta mac and cheese close to it since it's very soft? Also Chef Boyardee ravioli. Basically as long as it's very mushy with no solid pieces it's ok right?

I know me too because I love sleeping on my left side. It hurts too much!

My surgeon told me to enjoy fast food if you only have it once in awhile. But if it's a regular thing that's different.

Congratulations!

Sliming?

I'm now post-op day #6. Even though it's been a really tough 6 days I'm proud to announce that I've lost 21lbs and I'm only 98lbs from my goal weight. Thank you to every one on here for your support and advice. I'd be freaking out a lot more if it wasn't for you guys assuring me that everything I feel is normal

Correction, 24lbs

It's all I've had period. It's the only fluid I'm drinking besides my protein shots.

Drink Gatorade. That's all I'm drinking because I know that I'm getting electrolytes and what I need.

I take two of the Viactiv Calcium chews a day. Once at lunch time and another at dinner since you can't have more than 500mg at a time. They taste like candy and I like them a lot.

I had it a couple of times yesterday but it makes sense, liquid in = liquid out. I felt fine though so I don't think it's a big deal. I got it when I drank the wrong thing maybe that's what it is. Take a look at everything you've had and see if something you drank could be the cause.

I think our stomachs are very tender and swollen and that's why the first couple of weeks is the hardest. If liquids hurt I can only imagine what it'd be like to try anything with more of a solid consistency. No wonder we are on liquids for a good amount of time.

Oh and I just had a 2oz popsicle and 6oz of Gatorade without any pain

Oh yes I know, last night when I swallowed too big a mouthful of sherbert it felt like someone was twisting a knife around my chest

I'm experiencing the same thing especially when I drink.

I've had nothing but Gatorade today. It's been about an hour and I'm still uncomfortable.
