What about swelling around the mid section? I'm noticing it's still very swollen. Anyone else?

Also, ate a sugar free Popsicle today!! Go me to get it all down and keeping it down!!!

I'm still swollen and experiencing pain in my large incision. SF Popsicles were my guilty pleasure pre surgery, now they repulse me. They taste like pure sugar and it makes me sad ????

How's everyone doing on Protein and liquids today? I finally will meet my requirements today and am so excited ????

Doing well with liquids except Water, but I am forcing myself

I have not made an attempt to mix a Protein Shake yet because of all of the bubbles. That scares me. Still adding it to chicken broth.< /p>

Keep doing it. We are here to motivate each other!

I haven't mixed any shakes on my Clear Liquids stage, figured I will wait for full liquids. I am drinking Isopure Protein Drinks, which have 40 grams of Protein but I can't wait to be done with them ????

[Terance ✌❤️???? 48]

Made my fluids and got about 45 - 50 gm Protein. I am thinking that my internal swelling is my limiting factor. I just ran out of time to swallow anything else .

Total of about 350 calories today and feel absolutely no desire to eat, drink, or anything.

Very, very odd.

Starting my Vitamins tomorrow.

HI everyone. I'm late in the game but I also had my surgery 2/9. Everything seems to be going well. Gas pains ate harsh. I'm also having weird heart pains randomly, I'm assuming it's also gas pains but will follow up with my pcp on Tuesday. No bm and I can't feel the restriction yet just stopping when I feel satisfied.

Welcome to our group!

As you guys can see I'm awake as my incisions are causing discomfort. Still have not made it through the night without pain meds to help relieve the gas pressure.

Elsalvador7, sounds like gas. My doctor encouraged Gas X strips as many as I want to help relieve the pressure. The strips dissolve on your tongue. Also, I found walking while sipping really helps to burp or pass gas. I was excited the first time I passed gas LOL.

Hey team. Quick update as weekends around here are a little crazy & everyone else is still in bed.

Since I was only a RNY Revision I don't have the swelling it sounds like everyone here is experiencing. I'm so sorry! Instead I have an extremely raw throat which is bad and good. Nearly constant sipping warm tea makes it feel so much better to that's really helping with Fluid intake.

The gas definitely stinks *snort* no seriously that was kinda rough but I've had 2 solid BMs and the gas has really subsided. I think I'm lucky because I'm really able to get in all my Fluid & plenty of Protein. I got 70g in yesterday and was very proud of my BM this morning LOL...

Speaking of Protein if you can tolerate them Slim fast has a high protein (20g) version ready to drink with only 1g sugar and I was able to tolerate it very well. It was very "low bubbles". The Isopure protein Water tastes weird but it's totally worth it to help things move through my system.

I'm really playing around with the Protein Shakes & puddings today so I'll catch up with all of you later!

First real BM, never been so excited about a BM lol.

Thanks so much for sharing!! I'll definitely get the slim fast drinks today. I agree protein is the key and just adding to warm broth is not gonna cut it each and every day.

Knowing my body, I'm planning to get a little cardio in today. Since the intake is under control my output must increase to maximize weight loss during the first 21 days of liquids. I'm guessing a goal of 2000 steps is reasonable. My Fitbit will keep me on track with that.

Let's keep sharing and helping each other! So glad we are in this together!! I'll check back in mid day or tonight. Happy Sunday!!

Thought everyone might enjoy:)

Great so I'm just a big ole bobble head full of Water LOL

I also tried adding unflavored Protein to chicken broth and it did not dissolve and I just could not do the texture. Yuck.
