Doesn't bother me at all but I can't drink a whole lot. Maybe about 1/3 of a cup to a 1/2. Oh and I sip and burp lol

I ate half of a burger at almost 3 months post op and felt ok. Kinda full but ok. No space for fries or anything else just a few bites of the sandwich.

Is chewing 20 to 30 times before swallowing something we will have to do forever??? Also the not drinking with a meal and waiting 30 to 60 minutes until able to drink again? Just curious because sometimes I forget and swallow before it's completely chewed and sometimes I drink right after eating. It's hard for me to remember. Trying to figure out if I'm going to have to watch myself forever! Thanks.

My NUT recommended 60 to 80.

How many weeks post op are you?

I'm sure if you indulge it will hurt I have been afraid of this feeling so I haven't tried to eat more than 8oz at a time. It still takes me one hour plus to drink my protein shake and if I try to do it faster than that I can't finish it. I have to put it in the fridge and finish it later so yes you do get full from it. When I left the hospital I was told to measure my blood sugar at least 3 times a day and if it was low to have some protein. I tracked my sugar levels for the first 2 weeks and they were in between 80 to 110 so I never really had a really low one. Good luck on your surgery and be ready to be diabetes free!!!

I did not regret doing this but the first day and second were no joke. Still have cravings but when it does happen I step up on my scale and remind myself why I did this! Good luck!

I took 2 big tylenol pills hours after surgery! And I was sent home with a bunch of other pills to take. Never had any problems.

I kinda feel like I'm losing slower than everyone else too. Lost 16 lbs pre op and another 7 lbs post op. Tomorrow is my 2 weeks post op anniversary. Very disappointed at myself for not losing more weight. Getting 80 to 90 grams of protein a day, able to have a total of 64oz of liquid per day and consuming 500 to 600 calories. Still not losing [emoji20] hopefully it will get better.

I had mine on the 18th. Was taking miralax once a day and got my first bowel movement yesterday. Had to stop miralax because my stool was a little liquid. I do feel the chest pain when swallowing liquids but it's getting better slowly. I'm not walking much and I think that has something to do with it. Still have some pain on my right side (and this is why I don't move a lot) but I'm trying to take less pain killers so I don't get constipated. My Doc. said not to push the bowel movement so now I freak out thinking that every thing can rip open!!!

The soup saved my life during this 1st week post op. I like it so much that I will continue to have it!!!
