i didn't think I could chew eggs 32x but apparently you can lol. I chewed & chewed & chewed but nothing. I'll try 45x next time thank you!

No it's scrambled only for 2 weeks, I added milk to make it runny but maybe I have to add more

Hola everyone. I am 2weeks 1day post op. I started looks yesterday & I had one soft scrambled eggs today. I made it w/ milk & nice & fluffy. But I noticed that they are uncomfortable going down. Is this always going to be the case? Is there something else I can add besides milk to help it go down?

everyone is different, I was sleeved Monday & by Thursday I was cooking for my family. Saturday & Sunday I went out Christmas shopping for a few hours. You can't drive till your doctor clears you, which is usually your post-op visit about a week later or so.

I did not have gastritis but the sense of smell will go away soon. I know I wanted to crawl into our microwave when my husband cooked something. As soon as I got off the clear liquid diet it got better. Now I don't even notice since I can eat. Good Luck!thank you so much!

Hello everyone!! I was sleeved on 11/30 & I also have gastritis. I'm only 5 days post-op but the smell of food is killing me!! Not so much that I'm hungry but it makes my mouth water & that builds gastric juices & oh it burns!! Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?? I try to just hide in the other room but I have the sense of smell of a pregnant woman every day of my life!! Super sensitive sense of smell ????

Same here! I was sleeved 11/30 & the last 2 days I started to tolerate the liquids more but it's constant growling & moving. At times when I sip something I have to take it slow because the pain starts. It will get easier I promise!

welcome! I am not allowed to have anything but clear liquids for 2 weeks but I seem to be healing pretty quickly so we'll see how that goes lol. Have you tried gas-x strips? They have helped me, but the best thing is really to walk around! I've been cooking for my family since yesterday just so I can move around. Good luck!

Standard is one unless you have complications of you can't handle the fluids. I couldn't handle the required amount of 4oz an hour, so they bargained w: me to stay another night. Trust me you might need it, even if it's just to sleep & recover!!

im so sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better soon & everything gets better for you

are you taking more than one strip at a time?

are you taking one or more than one at a time?

Jealous for all that can do the 4oz an hour! Lol I can't handle the fullness because of all this damn gas!! Stayed an extra night & I miss the dilauden but taking Tylenol in the day & Percocet at night just to sleep. Not much pain really... More gas & fullness for me!!!

I'm at 8:30am!! Good luck!

Everyone good luck tomorrow!!!!
