Thanks @sosewsue61 thank you I’ve been able to eat the black ones and kalamata ones with no trouble I love them but eat them sparingly

Omg I just choked reading this!

I can’t quote on the app but I see one mozzarella ball missing, one bite of cucumber,bite of asparagus! If I were eating that the olives would be gone! I’m 20 days post op and crave olives and pickles all day long!!

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum (well I've been registered and lurking since my surgery) and am 9 days Post Op (surgery date 8/10/18). I am having a very very hard time with getting in my fluids and protein shakes. I think I'm having issues with knowing how to "pace" or "sip" I tried having some soup (butternut squash like pureed) and I felt like I over ate each time, same with chicken broth I think I might sip on it too fast? I try to sip water throughout the day and I get nervous that I'm going to go too fast or take too much or do something wrong to my baby stomach. I have already been to the dr once for IV fluids and a b 12 shot and I don't want to have to do that again but it's so hard for me (I practiced before surgery and everything!) I feel good otherwise but the not eating or drinking enough leaves me tired walking up stairs or from the kitchen to the living room. I just now reintroduced myself back to taking my Iron pills, and heartburn pills. I keep forgetting to take the multivitamin and calcium because I'm always trying to sip water and get my protein shakes/'foods" in so my dr gave me permission to order the patches. I want to do things right and not mess up but this part is harder than I thought! If anyone has any tips/tricks they can offer I would be most grateful! I have an app that tells me to drink every 15 minutes but I still can't get 64 oz in. Kristy

Thanks everyone! I'm doing much better now I bought a 32 oz water bottle with a sport lid so I can sip all day long and it is stainless steel and insulated so my water stays ice cold over 24 hours. Still struggling with the Protein shakes I just don't "like" them so going to see if I can find ways to make them better... My whole day feels like all I'm doing is "eating" or drinking lol but that's ok I want to be successful so I'm following the plan

@rochelle 38 why do you feel alone?

I have the cookies and cream and the bananas and cream....I bet that would be good the caramel in a coffee...But what kind of coffee do you use? Decaf? A friend also suggested I warm up the cookies and cream and it’s like hot chocolate.... Whoever suggested adding milk to my shake thank you I will try that also

Thank you @AJP

Thanks everyone, I’ve been living on sf popsicles!! I loooved water pre surgery now it’s not so great. I have Powerade zero, vitamin water and crystal light and it all tastes soo sweet...oh duh maybe I should water it down! I can eat sf jello and pudding with no issue but the protein shakes I need to find a new way...I wonder if you can freeze them to like a “fudge pop” has anyone tried that? Some days cottage cheese agrees with me and other days nope. So do I just keep sipping and not worry about timing? Also let’s say I took a sip of water do I then have to wait 30 min before having jello? Sorry for so many questions.

Thank you
