@@60&goin4it - Good luck at your doctor's appt/weigh in tomorrow! I know you will do great!

Wow, we really are, @@edie091371! Feels SOOOOOO good, doesn't it! Though, I just stuffed myself, so feeling bigger than ever, lol, you know the feeling... I did not plan to, but waited to long to eat and found a puree that was so good, I was stuffed before I knew it... Ugh, hate this feeling! I'm still learning, lol

interesting… i drink smart water (Costco bulk!), but will give Fiji a shot

That totally happens, to all of us @kvoneye… i was 248 on SD and 252 on the day of my one week followup appt. It dropped fast though and will for you, too! I am two weeks post SD on Thursday and my weight is down to 239 It i normal, i promise

I go from puree to soft on Thursday… Yay for us!

@@Miracle - Our puppy sleeps with us, but I still wanted to play it safe… My husband slept out in the living room on the couch with our dog and in the bed with he freshly laundered sheets

Did your doctor give you a puree stage or do you go straight from liquids to soft foods? I'm in a week of puree (the pintos (mashed) and cheese count as puree) then start soft foods in Thursday. All the docs are so different!

I am 8 days out and had 2 pureed scrambled eggs, no problem. But trying to remind myself that the nerves involved in my gastric bypass and not sending me the right signals for awhile. I was surprised that I could eat two eggs as well, but my keep it to one until I have more healing time under my belt (no pun intended!

@@edie091371 Sounds like a plan! We got a Gringos out here in Cypress a couple of years ago and it is till one of my favs

You get it at Taco Bell! It is really just refried beans with some cheese on top. It is served in a small container, so the size is not overwhelming, either. I know I can make the same at home, but somehow it is better when someone else makes it and it feels like a special treat

mine probably days that too, lol, I'm just a big milk drinker (now LOVING Fairlife white milk) and started having some a couple days ago... So happy I can still tolerate it!

I'm so glad your first full feeling was positive. I had my first full feeling last Sunday but it quickly shifted to over full and I felt sick to my stomache for over an hour. Now when I get close to full I stop and wait to see if my body needs to catch up and tell me I'm full. At this point satisfied is a way better feeling than overfilled lol. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk I've had this happen too, @sylviaflowers… I'm still learning

@@kvoneye, Yay! Enjoy!

I've been eating cream of wheat in the morning mixed with almond milk... @edie91372, are you able to eat purees, yet?

Same here... I've been doing great and then quickly became bloated and uncomfortable... could not even pass gas. I took some miralax, but needed something immediate... Resorted to glycerin suppositories (I know, yuck and tmi, so sorry!) and it helped almost immediately... I was miserable last night but much better today!

I have the same fear, lol! My surgeon laughed when I joked about it, said he attached it better than that. But still! Having this surgery sometimes makes me feel like I'm pregnant again... My abdomen has been transformed into this life-changing new entity with all the worries that come with it, lol. With every gas pain I have to remind myself that it is not a baby's foot or hiccup

That is awesome, @@edie091371!

Fairlife is so good… I was a big skim milk drinker and worried about not being able to tolerate milk after the surgery. I've had the Fairlife chocolate before, but I bought some white and about died. So creamy and yummy! Better for you, too!

I have trouble with cold now too

@@sleevemylife - Yay! Congratulations!

@@60&goin4it - Yes! Also, I found @@edie091371 and I think I found you, but let me know if my request did not come through!

You've got this!

@@kvoneye - Lol, I worried the same… Let's just say I was a big wine drinker before starting my 2 week pre op liquids… I kept thinking, "my poor liver may need more than just two weeks to dry out!", but post surgery my doctor told my husband that the surgery went perfectly and he had no problems whatsoever… even said, and I quote, "she has good insides", lol… Don't worry, you will be fine and best of luck for the surgery!

@ - I'm doing great, thanks so much for asking! I get tired quickly, still have some pain, and I'm bored to death with full liquids, but other than that I am doing good, lol I see my doctor tomorrow and I think he will put me on purees, so I'm looking forward to that! Do you have a surgery date?
