Thank you @newmetwenty15, it was nice to sit in public and try to have a normal moment with siblings/friends and food at the same time. Even though I had to go with my own pace, it was such an accomplishment!

What can't be pureed during puree stage?
Pac-woman replied to monopoly2015's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Red meat is very harsh on the stomach and takes forever to process. If you are having trouble, you may want to push that back a fews weeks. You kind of want to make it easy for your tummy and esophagus to heal. It takes 6-8 weeks for the swelling to go down. -
I just added you

What can't be pureed during puree stage?
Pac-woman replied to monopoly2015's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your stomach is a newborn. Think carefully what you pureed. Didn't they tell you no red meat for now? Protein only? I have a document in my blog that can help -
Yes it is normal. Your esophagus and tummy is swollen. Just keep sipping water, liquids. Hydration is most important right now.

Your carbs higher than your protein?

@@Jazmundo Hi there, welcome! I am 4 wks post op. Get ready for one hell of a journey to pure happiness. I have a document that I have shared with several people that I think it is very useful. I got it from my surgeon and dietician at the hospital. You can download the pdf file and check it out. Even includes shake recipes. God knows you will be doing a lot of that for a while. The link is down blelow. While on pre-op remember to drink lots of water to flush out the chemicals your body is producing while it is burning fat. If not, you will get dizzy and headaches. http://www.bariatricpal.com/blog/9892/entry-33688-gastric-sleeve-documents-interesting-info-and-recipes/

Hard Time Getting Fluids Down
Pac-woman replied to yourmom20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, that is normal. It will go away in a couple of days. When your gas finally leaves ( A couple of big farts or burps, not kidding) you will feel much better. The issue with liquids is normal. Your esophagus is the size of a pencil right now due to all the swelling. So it will be hard but keep sipping. You may even burp like or feel like burping like a trucker. lol But not to worry, it will get better. I went through the exact same thing and thoughts. We all have them. I am on my 4th week and okay with liquids now, but struggling with solids. Takes 6-8 wks for the swelling to go down. So hang on tight and find some patience. It won't always be like that. This is the hump we all go over. P.S. Don't trust a fart. -

John's Wort? lol I don't know, but hang on. It gets better. I was like that 2 weeks into the surgery. I am on my 4th week and my spirits are much better. It all revolves around food. Whether you can eat ir or not.

What is your full signal?
Pac-woman replied to Chuckie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get a weird feeling in my stomach that makes me look down at what I am eating and instantly push away the plate. I know then I am done. I also remind myself I can finish it in about 2-3 hours. When you over do it, you will know. You will feel pressure towards the bottom of your esophagus as if all didn't go down and it is sitting there. Not painful but uncomfortable feeling. You don't want to get to that point. -
