Late December Sleevers?

[Livingmybestlife 19]

I have about a 3 to 4 for pain. My incisions look good. I am doing ok for hydration but getting the Protein in is still a work in progress. Thanks for the reminder of the Miso Soup I love that & will grab some soon. Now for confession time...I had a frozen wonton bowl last night and every intemotion of just having the broth but the wontons we boiled down so soft that they fell apart. So I figured what would be the harm really. Well when I tell you the few slivers of it i had came back with a vengeance! People I now know that Dumping syndrome is real and better you not do it to yourself. A hard head makes a soft behind as my Gram used to say so going forward I will be listening loud and clear. :-)

Im on day 7, too, and I’ve definitely felt hungry and had my stomach growling. I started puréed food today. It’s not going down well - feels like a punch in the stomach! 😕

Girl, you're lucky! I only get to start full liquids for the next 2 weeks, then 2 weeks of pureed, then regular

My surgeon said 4 weeks full fluids and 2 weeks pureed. 2 weeks of fluids to go

I am still doing liquids too until the 22nd then my plan says I can move to soft if released by the surgeon. I was just trying to beat the system but all I did was beat myself into that horrible side effect. That was a valuable lesson I didn't need to learn since they already told me ahead of time. :-( just disobedient. All that glitters isn't gold.

Can’t wait til purée!

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be! Lol! I looked forward to that scrambled egg SO much! It was disappointing. I puked up a string cheese yesterday. Idk if I didn’t chew it enough, or what. They have been going down alright. I’m sticking the super puréed food today. I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast and soupy mashed potatoes for lunch. I’m making it - slowly, though!

Me too! Can’t wait to see everybody’s! I feel a little guilty taking off extra for work, but I figure it can’t hurt! I’m easing back into it!

I’ll be two weeks Tuesday and my nutritionist says I can start purée then. I’m, so tired of not real food, I find myself not eating at all, instead of the yogurt or shake. Also I’ve been drinking this Protein Water and I think it gives me gas. Anybody else?

Good for you don't feel guilty. If you can do it. That would certainly be my advice for anyone in our situation. I am going to start resistance training next week. Nothing major just with the bands for legs and arms. I am walking every day 15 to 30 minutes and thats not a lot but it's a start. More time is good to get to know yourself good luck with the time off.

When should I expect to start seeing some real weight loss? I'm down 15 lbs. total, but that's including what I lost before surgery on liquid diet. I KNOW I'm not supposed to weigh until 2 weeks out, and I'm 8 days, but I couldn't help myself. The scale is staring at me every time I go into the bathroom! Hahah!

Protien Water makes me burp a lot! And I'm getting sick of the tropical punch flavor. Gag! I do good wanting a shake for breakfast. It goes down pretty well. It's the rest of the day that is full of suprises!

I've done the same thing, i'm 8 days out and have lost 12 lbs since surgery. And 22lbs since the pre-op diet. I think it's because of my surgeons rules though...literally the first week I was only allowed Water, Gatorade/Powerade, Jello and had to have one Protein Shake a day, that was it. I think thats why I lost so much the first week. I had my 1 week post op appointment today and she did say I was on the higher end of patients first week loss, she said its normal to be at about 6 - 8 lbs lost the first week.

I've been weighing myself daily since I got home from the hospital (12/21) and I'm down almost 25 lbs so far.

edit: My weight loss sped up once I started the full liquid diet, but now it's slowed to about half a pound a day.

String cheese isn't on my list of pureed foods, but cream cheese is. Have you tried that?

Just cream cheese by itself?
