Why are you so stressed friend?

I have some of those issues with stress also and it is so bad for us. You are in the very early stages of the band and you really need to convalesce and try to relax. If you can not drink the shake because of the smell, try putting it in a closed cup and just sip at it.

Try some frozen ice pops they help with the swelling and they taste pretty good too. If you’re a chocolate lover try some sugar free fudge pops they go down easy and they feel pretty good too and they all add to your liquid intake for the day.

Most of all give yourself some love, put your feet up and turn on your favorite movie and let go a bit. Let it take you back to happy times and memories and forget for a few minutes about the surgery and let your mind and body heal.

We are here for you!

Stress is definitely a problem for me too.Try warm drinks like green tea or warm broth. shakes if too thick may take time. In similar situations I turn to prepared shakes that are thinner like muscle milk instead of blending them myself.

I then ease into thicker shakes and then soft foods over a few days.

Heat pack or a warm shower may also help.

Best of luck.

Try liquid motrin and stay on liquids for awhile.

^{Sorry to hear you are having trouble. I too am stressed right now thanks to my work. Never-the-less, take care of yourself. If your vomiting or inability to eat or drink gets too bad, call the doctor. Don't risk your health or your band! Best Wishes}
