Wow! I'm exactly one week post op and I still can't get in enough liquids. I can't even imagine taking a bite of food. I see my dr today & I'm hoping he will let me move onto Protein Drinks, creamy things because the clear liquid stage has been bad. All clear Soups, broths are ok and I can manage maybe 3 or 4 small sips off a teaspoon and then the next time I heat some broth and i smell it the nausea hits & the dry heaving begins.

You want to be careful because your sleeve is at its most fragile right now' date=' but I'm not going to beat you over the head with that but you surely realize doing this increased your risks for complications.

Can I ask you an unrelated question though? How come you type with capitalization on the first letter of every word? Totally random, I was just curious.[/quote']

Lol Just A Habit I Guess. Been Doing That Since I Was Like 16.

I could start having the full liquids like the strained black bean Soup and creamed Soups on day 7

You're almost there! ;)

If you can already do full liquids then you can start now :)

All surgeons are different

Please do not eat this at 4 days out. Do you have a NUT or surgeon you can contact. At 6 days out you should still be on full liquids. Follow your eating plan and do your self a favour and don't stray from it. You could do yourself harm if you do. No broccoli soup either, you can't have broccoli yet.

PPI is a proton pump inhibitor like Nexium, Prilosec and Previcid. They are long acting gastric acid inhibitors....antacids.

The strained black bean is just the broth and the broccoli Soup is cream of broccoli.

Also I told her to start it when she was on full liquids not sooner. Just to clarify!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
