The hardest part is all of the trapped gas from the surgery. The broth doesn't smell or taste good. I have been able to keep some Water and Popsicles down. So far I have lost 7 pounds in 2 days. I am just hoping the pain disapates within the next few days.

Feel like a failure...lost 50 lbs after 2013 surgery but think I have gained it back...havent weighed myself. I never feel full, Embarrassed to go back to surgeon ...never kept all my follow up appts. Everyone says I look like I have lost weight...maybe I should weigh myself. I feel like I did before surgery....feel like I eat the way I did then. What is the p0uch test that someone mentioned? Is tat to see it stretched? am sure it has. must get back on track...wondering if I should do two weeks of Protein shakes only

Do you have any gas x strips for the gas. Walking a lot helps the gas to move as well.

Yes they have been a life safer. I just feel like I'm not getting the required fluids in. I try to sip all day but I just can't seem to tolerate the broth. I'm hoping next week will be easier with a few more options to eat.

Kmagno....the first few days all I wanted was Water. I would suck on a popsicle just for something different. Once I started to get up and about I was ready for the broth. I ordered Chinese food for my family and got won ton Soup (delicious) and then went to sushi lunch with a friend and ordered clear soup...and then Mother's Day at Bravo's and ordered wedding Soup and sipped that broth. Yes, I get that they are not "healthy choice" Soups, but they taste great and we have hardly any calories to our diet at this point. I would rather have a little of something wonderful, then a lifetime of nothing that tastes good.

That gave me some good ideas thank you!

Another suggestion, drain the "broth" off of chicken noodle Soup instead of plain broth. Big difference.

Thanks ladies that has been a life saver today. I feel like I was able to get more fluids down today.

Yes I love ordering wonton Soup etc and just eating the broth. Amazing!
