Hello. I am just curious if those who have been sleeved for a while have been able to eat pickles. As a pickle lover I am concerned about this.. haha! also during puree or mushy stage, anyone have any must eat things that they loved? I havent really found any creamed Soups that have enough Protein to eat. I was thinking about taking some turkey meatballs and puree them with a jar of gravy and then spoon over a couple spoons of potatoes. sounds amazing to me! anyone have anything in the begining that JUST DID NOT work? that tasted horrid or didnt agree with them? I am 11 days post and worried about eating. I have tried cottage cheese and it rumbles a little in my tummy but I figure thats normal at first right?

I usually start out with one 8oz glass of Water first thing in the morning 6am. then I have a Protein shake around 7 or so. that shake is about 25 grams of protein. I then try and drink 2-3 8oz glasses of water before lunch. this morning I had the cottage cheese at 11. 1/4 cup.( 7 grams of protein) ate it slow. It rumbles but so does broth when I drink that. I am sipping on beef broth now, and then at 3 will have a 33 gram Protein Shake. Then I should be able to have something for dinner, and a protein pudding for a bed time snack. I continue to drink my other 4 8oz glasses after lunch until bed time. I was just looking for some ideas of pureed foods or mushy food to sample. Do you buy the egg drop soup already made?

I am 6 days post op. Feeling alright. having tons of burps and LOTS of rumbling gas pains. My kids can hear it ac-crossed the room. It is rather uncomfortable as well. Haven't heard very many people talking about soreness at the incision sight, so I am eager to hear others journey and stories! Of course as everyone else has mentioned getting the 64+ ounces of Water on top of your Protein intake has been SUPER hard, but I am hopeful that each day will get easier! I can feel each sip or swallow gurgling ALL the way into my tummy. Just feels YUCK! How about walking?? I was thinking of getting on the treadmill with my husband at my side and SLOWLY walking for 10-15 minutes. Think this will help with the gas? Anyone had problems with like beef and chicken broth making them more gassy? Thanks Everyone!

Good ,morning! Just curious if anyone else has suffered from severe shin bone pain and super sore calves? I am sure its just from being a little weak and loosing muscle strength, but just wanted to see if anyone has suffered these same things. I know I mentioned yesterday about my incision site, but today it feels like if I put my hand over the spot they removed stomach from, it feel almost like there is a harden area under the skin.. anyone else have/had this? I site in not oozing or looking infected, it does seen swollen in that area, but its just under my left breast.. it sometimes feels like a knife is under the skin and is cutting through.. ouch it just hurts. Did anyone also run a fever 6 days after surgery? It has been low,. like 99.5 or so, but just got a little nervous about it. Have a great day everyone and thanks for the feedback!

thanks everyone! i appreciate your support! This is a NEW beginning for us and I want to stay on TOP of it all!
