I had mine on the 3rd. I don't mind food. I'm trying to find something to drink besides Protein Drinks and milk. Water tastes blah...

[Mandee80 27]

Had surgery on the 4th. I'm finally feeling great just a little bloated. I'm on the pureed stage so any concoction I come up with is delish. The more I walk the better I feel. Down 25 lbs so far.

[Mandee80 27]

That's great! Anything you really like you wanna share? I need some ideas!

[Texasmike 25]

Yeah any favorites would be appreciated. Had my GB the same day as Mande.

[Mandee80 27]

For Breakfast I blend cream of wheat, pineapple with natural juices and soy milk. You can have that cold or hot. I also live smoothies with low fat yogurt in morning. For lunch I had tuna, chicken broth to add moisture and salsa. I heated that up and it was great! For dinner I had turkey chili with cheese melted in. Make sure you pick thinjs with lots of Protein.The key is blend everything and make sure it's wet and soupy. I only can tolerate 2-3 oz so be prepared to eat off it for a few days.

Thanks!! Any little bit helps, I'm gonna be scared first time I eat lol

I'm 6 days out and down 12.6 lbs. Not hungry but desperately want to actually chew and feel food in my mouth. I'm so tired of just sipping.

[Mandee80 27]

Yes I'm sure that's gonna get old fast! Thank goodness it's only a week... Then full liquid diet, then purée! But good luck to you and great job! I can't wait to go home tomorrow !

June 10th, was my surgery, did anyone experience red stuff in their stool the first time you were able to go? And sometimes with the gas? Today was my first time using it and passing gas, it looked like blood but I don't know could also be that barium stuff.
