you got this!

Congrats!

it was the unjury chicken soup powder, it really was good going down, it was just after I was not feeling great about it... today I am back to lemon and water, and premade shakes, I think I start puree's this Friday which I will most likely start with some unsweetened apple sauce? What is everyone else thinking?

Hey Sealeafi the thread starter today is your day!!! Hope it has gone well!

Thank you this was the 1st powder form I had and 1st time I felt that way.

so I ate some of that unjury chicken soup and it was good going down then after not so good... just felt so heavy for hours after and then everytime I thought about it I gagged a bit, feel much better today anyone else feel like this with anything yet?

how are you feeling?

That is AMAZING!!! Woohoo!!

hey there I know you were on the 6th just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? I hope all is well.

Don't Worry we all went through the withdrawls and it was awful at the time, but it does get easier around day 4, the nerves took me right through to procedure time and that was tough but I also felt ready so it made it easier. Good Luck!

to everyone going this week CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!! you all got this! As for an update to me I was done on November 6th and I am back at work today, I took a pain pill first night and second night at home but that was it. I have been pretty diligent about getting protein and vitamins in so I am at 60 grams of protein completed in 2 shakes daily and I have been getting my fluids in as well I think I may be just above 64 ounces. Newest loves are sugar free popsicles they count as 4 ounces of fluid and complete all fluids needed in an hour. I also love hot water with lemon. I try to walk at least a mile everyday so far I have been able to do that because I was home. I hope to be able to do that tonight still, have my first appointment on Wednesday with my doctor and I think they will be happy I have already lost 9lbs!! Surgery day I was 272 came home I was 277 they really fill you with fluid, 7 days later I am at 263! I am amazed. my belly is itchy and the sites normal and my tongue is still mildly numb or I am just really used to it being numb from surgery they said it could last for a few weeks or longer so we shall see. Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey there- wanted to see if you were feeling any better as well? Hope you have been getting in Fluids easier!

Hey there just wanted to check in on you see how you are feeling and if you headache has improved?

Hey there wanted to check in and see how it is going? I still don't feel hungry but I am meeting my protein goals and water goals so I am happy about that. I keep waiting for the hunger to kick in, but nothing I keep wondering if it will be like this forever? anyways hope you are doing well. Since the surgery I have already lost 9lbs!! I can't believe it.

hey there just checking in wanted to see how you are doing? Is your heart rate back down, it sounds like hydration needs to be upped a bit, maybe a sugar free popsicle?

SO awesome! I was the same day and I think I start that on Friday... I am a little ready but so far really doing pretty well with everything. Good luck and let us know how it goes!! Did you pick one to start with?

Hey There! I was the same day as you and let me tell you a TMI, Saturday night I believe there was a need to go... do you feel the need to go at all? My dr. told me to take Colace. Well I did that no joy (pills are not that big and by now you should be able to take in that size. ) Tried some smooth move nope no joy, I needed to use the suppository that worked and felt so much better after, and ever since everything has been normal. I wish I would have tried the Colace sooner, I believe you can also use miralax in your water. so hopefully that will help.

Mom2ag wow I am sorry you have had a time, glad you have spoken to your dr and I hope you get better soon, I have had the opposite problem with the bathroom and just had to go out and get an enemia it has been tough but I am all better in that area now lol l, many hugs and I hope you get to sleep through the night!

Yessican I am glad you are doing pretty well are you hitting all your hydration goals? I haven’t had any headaches but you may want to run it by your dr just in case most likely it will have something to do with your intake and may need a bit of adjusting. Good luck though.

I got genepro but I am not even sure I will need it lol the shakes are giving me my 60 grams of protein so that is not bad, I think I am going to have to try some smooth move later today if you know what I mean lol but today everything is going down easy and I have no doubt I will make my full liquids!

Each day gets a bit better will say I was able to get 60 fluid ounces in today and was shocked how hard it was... did two protein shakes so I got my 60 protein in but each shake took about and hour and a half to get in but I was grateful I had purchased a wide mouth 10ounce hydro cell cup because it kept the shake cool the entire time... slow sips! Went for a few walks but then the weather turned and laps around the house were not the greatest but still helped! Only taking a pain pill at night which helps me to get comfortable! I was so excited to read how everyone is doing! I love how it really seems to be the gas struggle for us all! Anyone hungry? Just curious I am not at all like even a little I think it is early but I am just surprised before surgery I was hungry I just wanted a piece of chicken lol but now nothing...

Hope everyone is doing well! I am home from the hospital yesterday and just been walking and sipping amazing but it really works smells make me nauseous I have no desire to start protein tomorrow. Just keep moving forward right have had anything for pain since I left the hospital and I don’t feel that bad was able to get in my vitamin hope everyone is doing well! Those coming up you got this!

Hey all I am out they just gave me a hug pillow have down two laps on the floor and had my first burp lol, minimal pain. Just wanted to check in hope everyone else is doing well too!!

Thanks will keep you all updated!!

Just finished reading and thank you for making this available! It is amazing!
