How long after surgery do u have to keep waiting an hour to drink after eating? It really sucks having to do this because I love to drink Water constantly.

I am 2 weeks and a few weeks post op, so I am able to eat soft foods. What I want to know is when can I ear bacon? Lol. That's really the main thing I miss.

What will happen if u take a shot of vodka 2 months after surgery??

I have a bottle of some strawberry daiquiri mixer but it has 56 carbs and 58 sugars for only a HALF of a cup! I couldn't believe it when I saw that. But my carb intake is nevermore than 30 a day so that's out of the question. Lol.

So I tried it last night at home. But I ended up only having one shot... And yes it did definitely burnt lol.

Thanks every1 for ur responses.

Are you supposed to count your protein shakes as your 64 oz/day of water? Someone said I could but that doesn't really make sense BC its not a clear liquid.

I saw this recipe on a website. The crust in pizza is not good for you since it has a ton of carbs so I have been googling low carb ways to make a pizza. Ive found so many good ones.

Does anyone know any high protein recipes that can be eaten during week 3&4??

I am 2.5 weeks post op and I have heart burn or acid reflux. Idk how to tell the difference BC it rarely happens. But am I able to take tums to help it??

The protein shakes you should use them as a meal replacement. It really helps with adding up youre protein. I try to drink one a day and I usually drink it in the morning time. My Dr told me that if you HAVE to drink while you're eating just take a small sip but really try not to drink too much while eating. It actually stretches you're stomach and you're filling it with the water instead of the food. They say to not eat until 30 minutes after you have drank water and then an hour after

That usually means u r eating too much or, not chewing it up enough, or it's not entering your stomach pouch correctly.

Do soft bland foods make u sick too?

Thanks Doreen. I hope the turkey bacon isn't disgusting like a lot of ppl say.

So I absolutely love water. It has always been my favorite drink to drink. Before surgery I would drink like 6-8 water bottles a day. Now that I have had surgery, it is a lot harder to drink that much water BC my stomach won't really hold that much at a time, and sipping water all day seems that I can't get 64 oz in because it gets warm so fast, and sometimes I just need to taste something lol. Does anyone think that I can count Powerade zero as my intake for some water? Like maybe 15 oz or less a day.

Thanks Guys!!

I am 2 weeks and 2 says post op and the first week I was very irritable, had bad anxiety, got angry easy, sad, and regretted what I did. But then its like it all just stopped at once, about 6 days later. Now I feel a lot better and am super excited to keep losing weight. I have already lost 28 pounds in just 16 days, so that helps a lot. Plus once I signed up for this website it helped a lot to be able to talk with people who were going through the same thing I was. Good luck!!!

Thanks sullie

When I lay on my back I feel that at one of my incision sites and there's a knot. Is this normal?

I am 10 days post op and I am always hungry. The first 4 days I didn't even think about food, and now I'm always hungry. I drink my water and my protein shakes too. Is there ANYTHING I can eat at this stage that won't hurt me. Oh and I had the gastric sleevr not lap band.

Thanks for the info. I have never even heard of that before u said it. Instead of wasting a bunch of money and buying it I just made my own. It actually did help with hunger quite a but and very tasty too, I might add.

When does the pureed stage start? I'm only asking the question again BC the last person had a lap band and that's not what I had don't. I had the gastric sleeve done.

I am 10 days post op and I am always hungry. The first 4 days I didn't even think about food, and now I'm always hungry. I drink my water and my protein shakes too. Is there ANYTHING I can eat at this stage that won't hurt me, that is not soup, pudding, Jell-O, and yogurt. and I hate cottage cheese so there's no way I'm eating that. Oh and I had the gastric sleeve not lap band.

Can you have that at 15 days?

so I understand that the pureed stage is stage 2 but what week does that start? Week 2, right?
