If all else fails just still be keying in @ the pen name, it comes up as "KRush mentioned you" on my gmail because I run off of Android app instead of sit down or laptop computer. So even poor beknighted folk like me get the message too.👍😝📝

Hey - question for all of you that in your post-op phase. One of the items I can have in Weeks 1 & 2 are "Strained Low Fat Cream Soup". What type of Soup would that be exactly? I'm assuming Cream of chicken would be ok. No way I'm eating Cream of Mushroom by itself. :P What else is there? Is there a Cream of Potato?? What about a bisque like Tomato Bisque?

So I did cream of chicken and feed my poodle the chicken.. I did cream of mushroom 2 and strained it.. I did cream of Tomato 🍅 which I realized too acids for my stomach... it taste good but too soon... and when I stooped it I noticed the difference... hope that helps

weird question: does anyone else’s pee smell really bad? like vinegar-y almost? i’m sure it’s just from being pumped with IV fluids but it’s awful lol.... just keep drinking a ton of Water hoping that will help. Also wondering when people had their first BM after surgery

Yes! Like apple cider vinegar. Had my first bm today. 4 days and a few hours post op. Dropped right at 10lbs so far. It was an ....interesting..... bm experience.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
