Had my sleeve the 25th.
Struggling through my second week of full liquids. I can’t stand anything drinkable anymore. Can’t find any Soups that aren’t filled with gross ingredients / fillers / fatty things, either. I’ve been living on FairLife shakes because the Premier Protein ones gross me out, now.
Anyone else struggle like this? I know it will get better but the days seem to DRAG right now and I am over it!
Yes! I had my RNY on the 18th. I am over the ready to drink Proteins and all the different ingredients. I am going to experiment with non-flavored Protein powders and adding my own flavors. So, far using the Premier Plant based chocolate powder with unsweet almond milk has been ok for me.
I am on week 1 of soft foods and learning Portion Control.
Hope the struggle ends soon for you!

Are you still freezing and have you checked your temp?
Yes, I was freezing the first few days back home. 108°F outside/ 75° inside the house. I even ran a low grade fever off and on, but nothing too concerning to call the doctor about. Hopefully, you are not freezing anymore.

Hello, had my gastric bypass on the 18th! Thankful to find a group of buddies who are on a similar timeline as me. So far so good for me, just not liking the "full feeling" that I get in my chest/sternum. But still on full liquid/puree diet at this point.
Weird thing is I am craving toast and not sure why that is. Of course not allowed at this stage, so will have to avoid that and find a way to work through that.

Happy New Year! And oh my goodness, yes the hair shedding has been crazy for me too. I am trying not to worry too much about it because I heard it is normal due to trauma of the surgery and the nutritional changes, and that it might come back in thicker than before. I also heard that some ended up with wavy hair who used to have straight hair before surgery. I am keeping my fingers crossed for some wavy hair, because mine wouldn't hold a curl for nothing! But at the end of the day as long as it slows down shedding and comes back a little fuller, I will be happy.
I make sure to get my BCAAs/Collagen in at least once day, and of course my daily Multivitamin. My 3 month blood labs looked good overall according to my surgeon's office, so I haven't added any extra Biotin at this time. I do take a B-12 twice a week.
Keep us posted how the hair shedding goes for you.
Take Care,
