I did the same thing. I chew it up and give to dog. I know it's a bad habit but once in a while it's ok. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went in on a Wednesday and home Thursday afternoon. I fought with Doctor to release me. Haha. But I told my boss I had hernia repair (which i did). No one else asked where I was. I told my son same thing. It's NO ones business. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I got the ok to start eating food. I was so excited! I had a 3 oz piece of turkey and 2 oz of sweet potatoes mashed. I ate the turkey first and then potato. I ate slowly but man it was hard. I'm full. I also got some pain after some bites. Is that because (1) too fast or (2) too much ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I said nothing. It's my journey! I eat smaller portions, Protein and increased Water. I'm so Not a private person so yes hard. But because people aren't educated on this surgery and what it's for, say nothing. You will find a lot of negativity. And it's usually from those who are skinny and/or healthy. And the surgery isn't a quick fix. It takes a lifestyle change. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok makes sense. Lesson learned. I'm so glad that I'm done with liquid. That was torture. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had it on 1/11. It was a tough 5 days I would say but got easier. Today makes 13 days out and I can not wait for the next stage. I'm so so sick of liquid only!!!! I'm also 5 days constipated. That is stressful too. BUT I know it's part of the process. I'll be patience. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I want to keep this private. And I'm so not a private person. My boss is also a friend so if I tell her I need some time off for minor surgery she may ask what for. I was thinking of saying a hernia. Your thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have been good with my BMs but now it's been a 5 days since. So I took colander and milk mag. Still nothing. Lots of gas. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok I'm on day 10 of post surgery liquid diet. I'm so done with liquids. Would it be wrong to slowly move to next stage? 4 days early? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I liquidfy everything in my nutribullet rx Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I thought my protein shakes, broths ect counted as liquid too. My NUT told me that anything that has protein in it is no longer counted as liquid. Sent from my Y538 using the BariatricPal App Oh wow. Ok good to know. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on a Wednesday and went back to work on Tuesday. I have a desk job that I can sit or stand. First day back was fine. I just focused on my work and was committed to drinking. It was easy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

11 days out and still liquid phase. I hate it because I just want to CHEW. Not hunger though. Even went to mcdonalds to buy hubby food and have ZERO craving. And just kept reminding myself how gross this stuff is. Can't wait to move to next phase. I won't lie. Two weeks of liquids is the hardest part so far. Harder that pre op. But I keep hearing it will get better so I will be patient. Keep my mind off of it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Same here. I try hard too. But I believe Protein shakes count towards liquid. I get sick of drinking. I incorporated sf popsicles Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks all. My beloved Patriots are playing tomorrow and I would love to have a little mushy food than liquid. But I'll be creative!

Exactly what Vee said. It will pass I'm on day 12 today and believe I felt like you. But now I feel totally normal. Just waiting for 2 weeks to hot so I can get off liquids. That is hard in my eyes. But it's well well worth it. Down 12 lbs already. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Day 5 post op and I'm sick of Liquid!!!!! I have inc. eggbeaters, pudding and cream Soups but still bored. My follow up is in 2 days. Hoping I can move on. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So glad I found this post. I have that gross taste too. I'm six days post op. And such a white tongue. I have mouth rinse that I use. And try to brush my teeth after each "meal" or Protein shake. Will it go away? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I take any Soup that is low in carbs and sugar and use my nutribullet RX that pulsifies it. I get good flavor and it's liquid. I do this once a day. I'm pretty sure I will need two weeks of liquids
