    So glad you are doing ok! I have been worried about you. I have been kind of sad all week, I think I am on too many anti-depressants to actually get depressed- but I have just been lonely. I am missing eating out and talking about what we are going to order for lunch and eating with my friends at work. I haven't lost anything in 6 days either. I tried peanut butter last night and that was a mistake! You have motivated me... I will walk today!

    Just checking in... are you able to eat anything yet? I had roasted red pepper hummus, yummy, and 1/2 or a McDonalds oatmeal without the apples and raisins/cranberries. I have started feeling hungry off/on during the day but it is tolerable. Hope you are doing good!

    So are you all better today??! Hope it is getting easier for you. What did you have to eat now that you are moving to soft foods? I am going to probably stay on pureed a little longer. I am scared of getting choked or throwing up, which so far has not happened yet. So pureed chili and pureed Baked Potato Bacon Cheddar soup for me today!

    So sorry you have been feeling so rotten! Are you getting any carbs? I am shooting for 20/day now and I know my nausea is gone now. I may add more iron, I am still really tired easily. Please be careful and don't get dehydrated...can you suck on popsicles? Let me know how it goes on Monday. I am looking forward to chewing again, too!

    Hi Sonya: I am so happy to be eating meals again, even if it is only 4 oz. of pureed soup! How are you doing on your food? My most favorite thing to eat right now is cream of potato/bacon soup from Red Lobster that I used my stick blender on to puree. I brought it home after my son's birthday meal there and have had a small portion every day this week! And there is still some left! Now that I am getting some carbs and more calories, I am feeling better and have more energy, too. I still think I eat faster than I should but after about 3 oz. of anything I have to stop for a few minutes or at least slow way down. How about you?

    No I have not had any issues with hair loss at all and I am 6 months out. I didn't do anything special as far as taking this or that. I honestly was fortunate that due to the lack of me doing much it still stayed.

    They are Fiber Well made by Vitafusion and I got them from Walgreens. They taste pretty good and are an easy way to get the fiber in...but I also take adult gummy vitamins as well lol. Hope this helps!
  9. Hey, it has gotten a little better because I am not hungry, I do have a confession to make. I have actually tasted food but not chewed or swallowed. I just wanted to taste it. I am not hungry and each day I have been able to drink a little more. I cant have jello but my hubby bought me a large decaf coffee and i poured some in a cup and mixed it with rich chocolate glucerna drink and I thought I was in heaven. But I have drinking sugar free kool aide with added protein shots. The commercials are the worst, it seems like there is so much food on tv. I actually watched US of Bacon on lastnight and I was fine with it because I wasnt hungry. I have decided to take it one day at a time and I know that this is only temporary. I have lost another 5 lbs so that keeps me motivated. Had to do milk of magnesia , todaybecause I havent had a bowel movement since 1/7/2013 and I feel so much better. Let's just say have been to the bathroom atleast on 4 ocassions, lol. Thanks for the support and hope you are doing well yourself. I still dont know why I cant eat sugar free jello!!!!

    Hi Sonya:
    I am so sorry you are struggling! I have been on liquids only now since 1 week before surgery, so not as long as you. Have you tried varying the flavors? I have given myself permission to try a new flavor and if I don't like it to throw it out and try something else. So far I prefer orange crystal lite and ice to most everything else, but I really like the sugar free popsicles too. I bought every kind of sugar free jello they had in the store and cherry is my favorite. I also am using sugar free hot chocolate with unsweetened coconut almond milk, which is awesome.
    I am not hungry but I did stop watching commercials... they are all full of food! Hope today is going better from you!
  11. I am struggling!!!!! I am not a fan of this liquid diet which I have to do for 21 days. I have a pain that I get which is caused by gas and I will try to pass it by either end, sorry to be graphic. No heartburn, yet. How long do you stay in the liquid diet phase? I have been online and see where after the first week of liquids they move on to a pureed stage or soft foods. I wish you the best of luck as well. I was told by the nurse that I may weigh more when I leave the hospital because of the hospital. Sounds like you still have a lot of fluid in your body. Keep me posted. Have you been hungry yet and what are you eating?

    I hope you are doing well on Day 5! I was sleeved on the 8th as well. So far, this has been pretty easy. Lots of gas, a little heartburn, and a little sore... Today I weighed the same amount as I did the morning of the surgery, so I am guessing that I have finally gotten rid of all of the extra fluids they gave me at the hospital.
    I would love to hear how you are doing, too!

Struggling with getting fluids in, 4 days out of surgery on 1/8/2013

by sonyasq22 on 01-12-2013 at 07:25 PM
Hi everybody, I was sleeved on 1/8/13. I have no real complaints other than gas pain. I am really struggling with getting my fluids in and I am not a shake person. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have to do liquid diet for 21 days.
