Well you're not supposed to drink while you eat, didn't your NUT tell you this? While everyone has different instructions it's a pretty universal thing that you're not supposed to drink half an hour before and half an hour to 45 minutes after eating it's also possible you ate too fast or had too much I'm 4 months out and occasionally throw up if I ate too fast

I've heard people say that walking and moving around helped

you honestly won't need much. Some slip on shoes and some comfy loose clothes to go home in. besides the cell phone and charger I also brought my kindle and my laptop and some dvds

I would taste it before, just in case you don't like it you can get something else

I just noticed the other day that i've reached one of my goals and hit an important milestone in my post op appearance I've lost enough where now my boobs stick out more than my stomach!

this is kind of an interesting topic here. Every one has different brands they like, some love them some hate them. Many people find that a protien they like pre op they can't stand post op. I would recommend trying to get some individual bottles of a couple different brands and seeing what you like the best

I think that would be great. I've put yogurt into my ice cream maker before and it came out great. I did just a vanilla greek yogurt and some chopped up strawberries. It was great

after talking to me at length and learning about me my surgeon suggested the sleeve for me and I trusted her judgement. I am beyond happy with my decision

everyone experiences this. Your body is healing from major surgery and you are not consuming that many calories. So yes You will feel weak.

try eating some more high calorie foods, nuts,cheeses.....

consult with your NUT but 2 weeks out you really shouldn't be eating anything. liquids and protein shakes at 2 weeks is pretty standard for most people

I started with tiny changes, like parking my car a little farther. At work I got up and walked around more often

you can still talk about food and participate in conversations without over indulging in the food. Or maybe think of some other topics and try to start conversations about that instead

I was told this is kind of normal, you're not eating much so not much is coming out I'm 4 months out and bathroom time is still and adventure

congrats on the loss you could still probably have those drinks but without the alcohol, they will still taste good

if you're on soft food you can still have the avocado and salsa. I would use a slice of cucumber to dip with

every insurance is different. My first appt was in June and my surgery was Sept 2

GOOD LUCK. Get flavorings to add to your water.

clear broths are good, you can make your own or get canned Soups and strain the broth out. Get some crystal light in different flavors for a variety. I found that the pink lemonade was the best at actually quenching my thirst. When I was a few weeks our I would doctor up my proten shakes, put them in the blender with ice and some instant coffee (decaf) for a pretty tasty coffee drink, or with some frozen berries for more of a smoothie. durring soft foods phase avocados were my best friends

avocado was good, mashed sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed cauliflower mixed with a wedge of laughing cow cheese one of my favorites is still tuna with avocado and egg mixed up with a bit of sriracha mayo I also ate some corned beef hash from a can it was very soft, some deviled ham in a can

it can take a while, remember it's not just skin that was cut but muscle too. My big incision took a couple of weeks before I felt nothing from it

the point of the liquid diet is to shrink your liver. The bathroom issue is probably more of a case of liquid in liquid out

your surgeon should have talked to you about this. In the beginning your pouch is still swollen and can hold very little. As time goes by the swelling goes down and there will naturally be a teeny bit of stretching. It's normal

kind of embarassed to say but pre op my husband and I would have no problem eating a whole large pizza between the two of us. 4 slices I could easily do. Now I am am 4 and a half ish months post op and can eat maybe half a slice if the crust is thin

completely normal, I went through the same thing. Think about it, 10 days out your body is still healing, and you are not consuming a lot of calories so of course you're going to feel weak. After a few weeks and once you can eat something more substantial you will feel better
