I love that podcast too, Reeger is amazing.

Had surgery on 11/5 I've had scrambled eggs, tuna, mashed cauliflower, sugar free gelatin, whey protein shakes, and chicken broth. I've had very small amounts of all these things the last week. I can only eat about 1-2 oz of any of these things at a time.

Mine was November 5th, the first week was rough but feeling so much better. I have lost 13 lbs so far.

I enjoy listening to podcasts. My favorite is created by Reeger Cortell. It is called Weight Loss Surgery Podcasts. It is informational and inspirational.

I'm only 9 days post op and can already relate to some of the things you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

I am 6 days post op, and although everyday gets a bit better for me. I am still struggling with getting the water intake. I average about 28 to 30 0z and that includes water, broth and teas. I have tried to eat scrambled eggs, high protein Greek yogurt, tuna and chicken. All according to my program I can eat and have not been able to eat more than two baby size spoons before my stomach cramps. So I've only really been drinking for the last 6 days. It has been very frustrating, oh to make matters worst tomorrow I go back to work. Anyone else still struggling this much 6 days post op.

You are all right. It does seem to be fast to be trying all those Today I am sticking to flavored crystal light water, hot teas, and broth. To see if the cramps get better. Thank you all for the suggestions. I appreciate it.

Thanks Ryan, I don't want to end up back in the hospital so I am making an effort to drink all day long. It's just after a very small amount of sips, I get cramps a heaviness in my chest and I have to wait another half hour before I can sip again. But I will keep trying.

I'm 4 days post op and I am also having trouble drinking water. I've had a little chicken broth and about 8 oz of water that takes me all day to drink. Every sip of water is so painful. It makes me chest feel heavy like I'm going to choke. I can't wait to get better.

I'm Nov 5th too

Swerdy, I would also be interested. I am in the lake worth area.

Hi, Congrats on your speedy recovery. I'm curious what you ate or drank preop. Maybe that is the reason for your painless post op. Would love to know
