Hiccups are also bad. They hurt.

I'm actually feeling crappy today. For whatever reason it feels like something is sitting in my esophagus (guess it's the hernia repair) but it feels awful - acidic and belchy such a gross combo ????

How was everyone's V-Day? I was brave enough to have hot Cookies and ice cream delivered to my sweet and omg what was I thinking, they smelled so wonderful but I was good so yayyyyyy

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!

Guess what?!?! I drank the SlimFast and feel like a new person!!!! Amazing what the protein can do for healing and energy!!

Wow really, I actually said I was drinking an approved shake tomorrow because this Isopure is killing me ???????????? so glad to know that it worked.

I'm actually trying to figure out what cream Soups I can eat on Tuesday, does anyone have any ideas? I figured Tomato but can figure out what else ????

I strained French onion. I've also blended the hell out of a can of beef & barley Soup with 1c chicken broth today then strained it. OMG heavenly. Also, if you have access to some fresh herbs (I got an awesome herb garden for Xmas) I've found simmering any Soup on low for a while with different herbs really improves taste. Don't be shy about using some spices then just strain & enjoy!!

My doctor said no Tomato Soup because of the acid. You might want to stay away from that one until the first 21 days have passed.

Only one more day home until I'm back to work on Tuesday. When is everyone else going back to work?

[ElChrisPLindo 30]

Wow that really soon, I have 4 week leave approved and could take another 2 weeks if required

I'm back to work on Tuesday also.

I have been craving avocado! Just a piece, with a little salt, little pepper and maybe just maybe a squeeze of lemon juice. Ugh!! When do you guys head on to purées/mushies?

I have days just didn't tell anyone at work why I was out. Just called in sick. I feel good enough to get back so I want to do so as soon as possible to try to deal with my challenges of snacking with co-workers throughout the day. Enjoy your time off!!

[ElChrisPLindo 30]

Thanks, I am starting to get bored but it's paid time off so I am going to take advantage.

Been feeling great today, got in all Protein and Water and no pain at all today.

LOL, stop thinking that way!! We must stay focused and get as much weight off as possible during this stage. Sooo I'm the little voice in your head saying, "You will lose 10 pounds this week!" Say it with me????????

Hey awesome 2/9 team Happy Monday! How's everyone fairing with the fluids and Protein?

I got 70g in on Saturday and 72g on Sunday!!!! I was so excited and told my wife all about my Protein intake last night and she looks at me like "Ummm, okay... let me guess you pooped today too?" LMFAO - guess its doesn't seem like much to get excited about when you don't have to try eh?

Protein! -so I know I utterly failed at adding Protein powder to anything hot while on Clear liquids but I realllllllllly wanted something like hot chocolate yesterday and I refused to just make hot chocolate unless I could get some nutrition out of it.... so before I started getting too crazy in the kitchen (I made my wifey and kiddo heart shaped cheesecakes!) I checked email and I was saved by an email from http://www.bariatricfoodie.com/ . I must have signed up for emails last week during my drug inducted web browsing and I have to thank drugged up me for being awesome because this particular email had a easy tutorial on how to make hot Protein drinks . The site seems to switch back to the home page really quick but I was able to get the basic directions copied into a word document (attached). The lady who writes this blog has a great sense of humor which I think we all need to break up the frustration I know at least I feel occasionally. I ended up making a hot chocolate Peanut Butter protein mug that really hit the spot using a scoop of chocolate Protein Powder, 2T PB2 powder & 1t splenda with just a little unsweetened almond milk and Water since my body seems to still hate regular milk... It was so yummy I sipped on it for about an hour and totally forgot to take a picture.

Yeah so I'm going to go make another mug now!

So cool! Thanks for sharing. I've had 4 oz of Protein Shake for Breakfast, 6 oz warm chicken broth and sugar free popsicle for snack. I can't believe I'm keeping it down!! I do feel bloated so I plan to walk later before I drink 4 oz of Water. Drink, drink, drink!

[ElChrisPLindo 30]

Walked for 20 minutes on my treadmill, feel good hope I didn't over do it...
