I really liked my jello. I just ate 3oz of pureed chicken noodle soup...My tummy said thank you! No problems so far..but I havent had bowel yet movement yet

I'm a lapband to sleeve on October 5, 2015, i am four days post op and

I'm fatigued and am having a little bit of shortness of breath. I talked with my doctor this morning he is not concerned right now about the SOB he thinks it's part of my fatigue since I'm not having any chest pain and I can deep breathe without any problems does anybody else feel this way?

I am fatigued and have some shortness of breath also. Not too bad. I just can't quite get in all the calories that I'm supposed to. I feel like I'm eating or sipping all day and I'm only in the 300 calorie range. Yesterday was in the 200s. So maybe tomorrow will be even better. Hang in there! Everyday will be better than the last. That's what I keep telling myself.

I am fatigued also. I get Soups on Monday. Hope that helps. After we can ad pureed foods it will help. Hang in there I have been told the energy level will go thru the roof after foods are introduced

I with you all - shortness of breath (especially bad, since I live in the Colorado mountains at about 10,000 feet!), exhaustion and general weakness. Also lots of gas.

My puree/full liquid starts Tuesday, and I can't wait. First thing for me will be the "watery mashed potatoes" they offer in the Kaiser manual - I suspect it'll taste like a dream. About the only real flavor I've been getting is from the low sodium broths I bought, but those are not very fun to eat.

Has anyone else notice the outrageous sodium content on most broths? I would have never noticed...

I use something called Pocket Protein. It is pouches of 15 to 20 grams of Protein.

Drank to much broth and it doubled me over. How about you?

Was going to try broth tonight. I hope it goes well.

This is the Protein I mix with my Water.

Where do you buy it?

[MOMMAMIN1 80]

On their website it will tell you locations or you can purchase on line

Out hiking and disturbed a bathroom break

Not yet, but close. I was too anxious to get some flavor in my mouth, and ended up gulping too much. The Large Bubble Of Gas (think Godzilla-sized) made itself known, and I had to walk around in a circle unless a window-rattler came out.

I'm starting to realize how much new stuff there is to learn.

I am on Monday as well....its going to be a long 5 days! I'm nervous but very anxious to get this part over with. All my pre-op stuff went well. They said I am "very healthy" and should come through this just fine. I thought "sure I'm healthy except for the whole morbid obesity thing!"

Yes I'm right there with you on the Morbidly Obese. Grrrr
