Just had Surgery on 3-20-2015

Hello, I just had the sleeve on 3-20-2015, and I am having craving for anything to eat. I am keeping up on my liquid diet. But the temptation for even a cracker is so nerve racking is crazy. Is it too early to start the Protein Shake? ???

You will have to follow your team's plan. But right off the bat I was drinking Protein Shakes.< /p>

FOLLOW THE PLAN!!! I was only on clear liquid for 2 days, but then they moved me up to full liquids and I started my Protein then...I have a hard time with my Protein drinks and struggled to keep them down (I struggled to keep anything down)... Don't try the cracker...I was told I could try a cracker on day 28 and even then my mouth was so dry when I tried it I couldn't even swallow it. I understand missing chewing, It's a strange thing really...

Its sooo hard but stick to it. Its not worth blowing off course for. I know you probably miss chewing for one. It will pass and soon enough you will eat solids again. Stay strong!

Thank you for the advice. My Team said clear Liquid drinks for week 1 and then week 2 to do the Protein Shake. I can't wait until week two.

Thank you for the advice. It is hard not to chew, but even the smell of food is driving me crazy.

Thank you so much. I hope it passes really soon.

You are welcome. I noticed that everyone's plan is not the same. They had us on protein drinks and Water right after surgery.

Hi, I had surgery on the 20th also. So far so good. I still don't get hungry much. I start my purée diet on Sat. Just a couple of mins ago I did cheat tho...I seen some watermelon in the fridge and I had a piece. (Just chewed it, and spit out the pulp) it felt so good to chew on something.

It shouldn't be to early but defiantly clear it with your DR

What type of nutrition plan do you have? Are you still on a clear liquid diet?

Wow, I had to peel an orange for my seven year old and boy what I would have gave to just chewed it. I understand that this is a process but wow is it hard.

I go see him tomorrow for my check up. I understand the importance of this though. Thank you.

I had my surgery 8 days ago. I want to chew something so bad. I haven't felt well today but I haven't had enough water...help how do I get over this hump. I want to go in the kitchen and eat.

When do you start your purée diet plan? (Mine starts at the 8th day)
