I made real Bone Broth - easier - just throw the chicken in the pot with veggies - in 40 minutes take out chicken and throw bones back in pot and let simmer till bones open, are soft and release the collagen. Its good and 12 grams of protein per cup.

I don't know if I would try that either. Its spicey which could give you reflux and if you get to wanting to suck on it you could swallow it and it might not agree with the small opening of your new pouch.... but I am not the nutritionist. just sounds risky -

To help with the desire to chew, my NUT suggest chewing on some Jerky and then spitting it out. I have never had jerky so not itching to try that yet.

I just realized I haven't been taking my acid reducer! It's sitting in the back of the cabinet. Thanks!

Cracking up.... saw a Sonic commercial and the guy was having a chili dog... for a split second I thought... ooooh that looks good and then my stomach slapped me and reminded me I don't want anything. I feel stuffed all the time. My taste buds are ready.. not my body. So weird my mind playing tricks on me!

My surgery is the 21st. Is there any other late June people here to share stories and support? Could use buddies!

I have to do full liquids until 14 days post-op...I thought I was jealous until my sleeve decided it didn't like full liquids yet. I slid back to Clear Liquids for days 4 and 5 and was much happier, advanced back to full liquids today and the Protein Shake was much more well received I think 2 weeks will be just about right for me, my doc has an extremely low complication rate as well, and I'm going to trust that he knows what he's doing. That said, I would dearly love to CHEW something right about now!

We have the same wait then? My doctor has a really low complication rate, so I have to take comfort in the fact that the strict diet is necessary to keep me safe. Stupid logic, I hate it when it overrides my emotional wants!

I'm 5 days post op and I am fairly hungry, especially when making food for the kids. I'm looking forward to Protein Shakes in 3 days!
I'm also very, very gurgly since yesterday. It's like a second wave of gas is grumbling through me. My stomach will not quiet down! My kids find this hilarious. Me, not so much haha!

Day 4 post op is so much better than day 3. I am feeling pretty good and no pain meds since day 2. Belly still hurts when I stand up but not worth pain meds. Got 8 Oz of Protein Shake this morning and will work on another one this afternoon .

I'm 5 days post op and I got "caught" eating a Popsicle. "You can eat Popsicles???" Yes I can and they're sugar free.

"How much weight have you lost?" and "How did you do it?" (I'm not "out" to too many people - mostly just my family and close friends)

My doc doesn't want me to focus on anything but getting my fluids in and 30 was fine by end of week and try to get to 40 48 by next and start sprinkling Protein in things where I can. I can do about one GNC Protein Shake a day but its taking me 2 hours to get it in. I feel full all the time. I just bought Bariatric Choice Liquid Protein fruit Drink Concentrate from Amazon. Its got 15 grams of protein in it. You put it in 10 oz of Water. Not too bad. I also bought NutriWise. Here are links if you think it might help you too.

You should be calling your doc right away. Maybe its bile or maybe even an infection. No one on my sleeve page has mentioned vomiting like this and you don't want to end up in the hospital. Call the doc!

Surgery day!! Very nervous. Will update when all done

I think my expectations are out of whack. I expect things to taste good, or that it should taste like "real food". I need an attitude adjustment. I went back to square one with the liquid diet--like pre-op square one, and I'm forcing myself to drink my shakes. I don't want to lose muscle more than I don't want to drink the shakes. I see the doctor today and I'm going to see if I can grab the NUT for a minute and get some recommendations. Good luck everyone.

Hi Biggi! Glad you are doing better. I was really worried about you. Its hard to get everything in isn't it. Getting creative with it. Had cream of wheat with a 1/4 scoop of Protein Powder the other day and 8oz of skim milk, cinnamon and sweetnlow. Didn't taste too bad but the texture was gross. I used to love my own smoothies from the nutriblast but I don't even want that either. Nothing is appealing but tea, chicken broth and Water. So I'm going to try Protein waters. I saw one of the guys post that he was drinking Isopure and I thought I could do that! We shall see how I do. If I get hungry which is doubtful I'll work in a shake. Uuugggh

I'm here. I am getting back into the swing of things, and I had a rough time the other day because I tried Soup I clearly was not ready for. It made me retreat.
I got a fit bit and put my food journal and realized that I'm under eating. I'm drinking these shakes more now, but blurg...I don't have to like it. I even bumped up my milk, as I had been using ice and not milk.
I'm glad you all are doing pretty well. I am happy to report I am off blood pressure meds, but I have to monitor my blood pressure three times a day to make sure I can stay off them.

I am scheduled for June 28th in Mexico. I am super excited for my revision.

Was sleeved June 23rd and doing good, not much pain just trying to get my liquids in slowly...
