I sooo want some soup now. I am beginning to get bored, I was on pintrest stalking you as welll and looking for some type of protein shake hope or something. I am ready to get out of this full liquid mode now!! I want cottage cheese!!! lol... But i know we gotta heal and let all go as planned. I had to get off pintrest, because I couldn't take it anymore. I am gonna have to try to pump up my premier shakes some how. Tried Unjury broth, and lord its good and all, but that nasty butt taste it leaves behind is terrible. Can we say disappointing!!! You may want to ask them about that rib pain their missy!! I told my mom i found a bruise on my side of my stomach wear they didn't cut, she said you never know what they did while you were out, could have beat you up. I added you on facebook as well, I guess I need to add some pics, but I hate them. I may add one on here at least, so you will have a face to the name.

I still haven't touched my stool softener yet. I tried to search you on pintrest but it wouldnt let m find you. I to am a food person woo!! And egg drop soup sounds good right about now. Are you going to strain it or eat the egg in it too? I usually like those fried noodles with mine though . I am ready for some different flavor and textures. Its hard to feel when I am really full on these liquids kinda. I want to chew!! And I am with you I do not want to go back to my old ways, but I also don't want to deprive myself either. I will let you know when i'd like to attend a meeting, or you can tell me when you'd like it doesn't matter.

I don't know about you, but my stomach has been itching like crazy!!! Signs of healing, but gah!! My b12 seemed to cut my naps as well, but I actually want to nap lol. I drank some of my shake for the first time today as well, it tasted the same, but everything seems to leave a bad after taste in my mouth, its kinda like a downer for me. But oh well. I hope your day is doing ok.

You got me over here laughing! I feel you with the mom and not knowing when to stop talking. Well I usually just get quiet on my mom and she will live it alone for a bit. Have you been drinking and getting the slimmy affect after? I seem to , I think I'm gonna go back to my water and crystal light. Everything seems to leave a bad after taste in my mouth.

My incision are burning too! I was trying to space out my pain meds, and found out I can not do that for now . When my pain gets bad, I get nauseated. But my pain meds just made me feel so much better. I kept looking at them like , did the tear or what? But realized I was way late on the pain management. I also have Pinterest and I have been pinning a lot if healthy new recipes I want to try when get to that point. I am under my kbrooks007@yahoo FB login .

Are you going to attend any if the group meetings? I think I may need to, just not sure when. If my writing seems to be odd, I am on my phone. I didn't wanna pull my lap top over here at the moment. But I know my next message will be on it, cause this lil screen sucks! Have you taken the stool softeners yet? I guess I will today. So scared but i know it's so needed.

I am glad you resolved the headache problem. I am going to take my welbutrin maybe I will feel even better, i used to be on zoloft. I live with my sister, but my mom has been helping me mostly. My parents live 4 1/2 hours away back in my hometown of Elizabeth City, NC but came down for my surgery/recovery. I guess I need to try drinking on a shake. I have premier chocolate and EAS strawberry and some other lil sample packets from planet nutrition. I have had some peppermint tea yesterday, heard it helps with gas. I have seen the evolve shakes, but was afraid to try them, are they pretty good? chicken broth has been my go to when I want salty. As far as smells making me sick, the first was my moms breakfast in the hospital , the bacon made me nauseated, and some other food smells get to me as well now. Im starting to see food on tv and thinkin mmm that looks good. Boy this is gonna be hard!!! I am starting to want salty, and we don't have much in our current diet besides broth for that. I am not a fan of sweet stuff much anymore.Oh well, I gotta find a different sleep position, because this sitting up in the bed is killing me, and making other parts hurt. I am also glad I have you to talk with, at least someone to understand. Trying to explain to my mother I can't eat that much or fast as I used to. When she is telling me to get my pain meds down. Oh, how are you with water?

yep you can go back taking your meds, as long as they were no bigger than a m&m size, i asked him about mine as they got me ready for surgery and the day they sent me home. One of the guys from the pharmacy team also came to talk to me and said which I could crush and couldn't. One of my bp meds is time released and cant be crushed, but he said it was small enough for me to swallow. I took my protonix with no problem today. I'll try at my bp meds tomorrow or later. I only been working on my fluids water did not like me at first so I found out Gatorade the low cal, low sugar one seems to go down good, and broth is ok. ice chips are my best friend. Have you tried Popsicles? Oh and make sure to monitor your bp when you start taking them....you may need them adjusted. And no way buddy is this mess easy at all!! I had a lil moment yesterday thinking, "did I do the right thing", but it went away. I know I did. OOOh nto sure if he told you about your vitamin b12, he told me to start taking that as well. I swear it helps with your energy!! But we will make it through this, message me anytime if you need to just vent i don't mind. I get notifications on my phone.

Hey came to your page, saw a message you sent to yourself wasnt sure if it was for me?! lol But I am feeling better than the last two days. I have been sleeping on my bed but basically sleeping sitting up with lots of pillows behind me. I cant lay, it feels like my insides shift and I get this crampy feeling. I got sick once, trying to take my anti nausea meds, and I chewed them and my stomach said nope!! I hope you start feeling better...

How ya feeling? i am in so much pain... I bought a new bed, but have been sleeping in a recliner cause the bed is too tall right now.

I have tired several protein powders by syntrax, but those really are not my thing at all!! I have couple of the packs of the unjury powders including unflavored and the chicken soup but I didn't buy any big tubs of anything. I brought mostly to-go packs from planet fitness for now. Not sure how my taste will be after surgery. But I have been drinking Premier shakes. I didn't ask what time my surgery was, I was just told to be there by 12:15 tomorrow. So it must be 2 maybe.

Hi Janet,

I am waaay nervous!!! Today we are on all liquids and of all the days I am no where near hungry!! Like why couldn't my stomach be like this the last three weeks. How are you feeling?

Hi Karla,
I don't mind at all! It's great to have someone I can talk to about all this. Is this pre-op diet not the worse?? I mean I am losing weight and grateful but I miss real food!!! How are you doing?
