Are there any cold medicines I can take a month post-op? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Anybody who is 10+ months out, how much are you able to eat per meal? If you have a tuna sandwich, can you eat half of it? Can you eat a whole veggie taco? A cup of salad? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

So excited to hear that about salad! I've been nervous that salad would be something that I couldn't eat again. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I am craving pickle juice as well!! Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I did Beans with milk, sour cream, and cilantro (plus whatever seasonings).... so yummy. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I have always been a stomach sleeper, but a week before surgery I got a double ear infection and lots of congestion. I could only breathe laying on my back with an incline. Since then, I can only sleep that way! You might be surprised that you can sleep in another position! Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Yes. That's one of the options that they offer in the hospital to prove you can handle full liquids. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I had food dreams as well - had a dream I was eating chips in a pile of leaves, trying to hide ???? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I am also on Wellbutrin XL but had to switch over to 1 1/2 pills twice a day. My surgeon told me I have to crush it for the first six weeks. Also on Trileptal twice a day - liquid - which isn't awful. Also on liquid Zoloft - the worst taste I have ever encountered. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone know of any chewable Protein pills that I can use instead of Protein shakes? I cannot stand protein shakes but I know I need protein Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

if your liquid is too hot some Proteins won't dissolve properly and will turn into clumps that float on the top of the liquid (it reminds me of eggs, to be honest). unjury says to keep liquid temps below 140F, but I haven't found temperature recommendations on anything else Thank you!

Unfortunately, shakes continue after surgery for several months. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Haha I'm only 5 days post-op, so unfortunately I can't do that yet! I'm looking forward to when I can. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App I had the sleeve gastrectomy. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I have unflavored powder but have t tried it in anything yet. I love broth; does it change the texture of the broth too much? Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

It depends on what you are allowed to eat or if you're full liquid. Mine was full liquid and day 4 was a day of intense cravings. The rest of the ten days were much more manageable. Once you hit day 3 or 4, it should get easier. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

If you didn't see the original post, you have no context through which your reply even matters, so... Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App Wow, I find this post to be incredibly rude. I did see the original post and Miss Impala's reply matters because it is factually correct. It isn't coloured and skewed by an emotional response to the original post as some of the others. I'm puzzled by your reluctance to accept the reality that there are people on these boards who are not from the US and therefore will be puzzled by some of the local idiosyncrasies. Many people across the globe view Americans as insular and ignorant of things that go on beyond their borders, I don't believe that to be true as I love and work with Americans every day. Unfortunately these kinds of responses only play into that stereotype. Frankly it looks like "rightfighting" to me. The OP was pretty clear multiple times in this thread that she did not know what bugles are. At first read I was puzzled by what the post was until I of course quickly realized she was Australian and they likely don't have bugles there. I get that some people are slower on the uptick but after several people having explained it I'm not sure where the confusion lies. the thread then veered off, but not the OP's doing or intent of the post. (the spotted d*ick posts won, though IMO). I'm not even talking about the OP; I totally understand she didn't know what Bugles are. It's just the others who do know and still choose to be jerks... those are the ones that get to me. Not everyone was raised to have compassion on others, apparently.

I really like chick peas in the air fryer with garlic powder and onion powder! Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I have mental illness and was cleared just fine. As long as you're not having delusions, you should be cleared. My struggle now (four days post-op) is drinking my meds.... way nastier than you would imagine! Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

At least my kindness and ability to treat people with respect is intact. Wish you could say the same. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

What? This makes no sense whatsoever. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Oh okay, a bashing fest where we are supposed to go to get support. I'm raying she doesn't see this. The majority of you here - on this post - are incredibly rude. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App praying* Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Did you get in all your water and protein from the start? I was released from the hospital yesterday and could only drink 17 ounces of water throughout the day. I don't want to get discouraged too early, but... well, aim discouraged. Surgery was Friday. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App I had a really hard time and got upset at first but tiny sips ALL day of the protein shake and each day I was able to handle a little more. The same with water. Literally all day little sips. Then as you can handle more you can have bigger gaps between and get to more normalcy. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Will I ever live normally again? I just want to take bigger drinks and not struggle to drink 20 ounces of Fluid.

I woke up from surgery with horrible pain behind my sternum...probably gas. Between gas pain and nausea with dry heaves, it was not pleasant. Walking helped some with the pain but while out walking, any smell at all made me dry heave. Once I got home to my own bed and got a decent night's sleep, I improved each day. Day three was a turn around from bad to good. Just breathe through the pain and walk. You'll do great!!! Bring a mouth spray with you to moisten your mouth just in case. Even the ice chips made me nauseous. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 Was the pain at least bearable? I'm so glad to hear you're doing well now! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Remember it's different for everyone. I didn't experience pain aside from minimal pulling at the incisions. I was very nauseated until I asked them to take me off of the pain meds the next morning. Coming off of the Dilautid helped the nausea a LOT. Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App
