Finally!

I finally get to join yaw in the post op world!!! I had gastric bypass on monday and my docs were impressed I can get around like I can. In all honesty I was just wanting to come home to my kiddos lol. I'm still learning I can't just throw Water back. Made that mistake yesterday where I tried to drink too much didn't feel too good . I do have a question for you vets out there:

I use apple sauce to mix my crushed meds in. And a little Water. How long should I wait ( hours?) Before I do the chicken broth? I'm not hungry at all the smell of food makes me nauseous actually. But I really want to do this right

I would try after 30 minutes. You should be fine.

Good luck & sip......the hardest lessons to learn are not drinking or eating too fast.

I am 7.5 months post op and was not paying attention last night while eating. Low and behold I started eating and ate too fast. Immediately it felt like I had food stuck in my chest and them wham I am vomiting. Very painful and not like me at all. I was so mad at myself because it ruined my meal.

I may call my doc office. they told me that i could have chicken broth today. Does that count towards my 4 Oz an hour or do I have to still try to drink my Water on top of the broth?

I was told any liquid counts towards your total for the day. But each doc may be different.

I'm just scared of over or under doing it. First off I'm tripping over the fact that broth tastes good to me and that I don't feel hungry. I feel blessed that God allowed me to do this surgery!!!
