I too am having some minor complications, but everyone is different....It's nothing major to worry about. I am dealing with my issues, and like I said they are minor just a little irritating....

My husband got onto me yesterday for using a straw, I didn't have any problems with it, but he said he is looking out for my health. I'm just going to make sure that I take it slow, no matter how sick of something I am, until the time comes when I can add new things.

Hi Jen, welcome to the forum. I am 2 weeks since surgery, taking things one day at a time....There isn't too much that I can have yet. I do cottage cheese, but only a few spoonfuls a day, just enough for me to mix meds into. I am able to drink protein, I order from New Life bariatrics, I get the...

I only scraped some cheese and spinach off the top...it was hardly anything. The noodles I made sure I chewed really good. I had chili today, and that bothered me, and I only had a few bites of it. Not too worry, I am taking things slowly tomorrow will be a soup and protein day for sure. I do...

Hi Di, you made a great choice in having WLS. I'm almost 2 weeks out from the switch and doing fairly well. I do not have any regrets, I take one thing at a time, one day at a time. Good luck with your surgery and please stay with us and keep us posted on how things are going.

Kim, I would have to agree. I think you are doing well. Just curious as to why you are on full liquids still....have you tried adding things to you diet?? I will be 2 weeks on Monday, but I have added a few very soft things in my diet. I spent the day with my husband, daughter and granddaughter...

that would explain my pain for sure. Not so much to the shoulder though. I've taken the Milk of Magnesia and had a bm, but nothing since then, and it wasn't as I was told it should be. I guess everyone is different, so I am not going to worry too much unless it gets unbearable.

I'm having trouble getting my protein in. I walk as I can, but they want me to do more protein...sometimes its just really hard to do...I am supposed to do at least 60 grams. I'm lucky if i can get 20 in. Hoping it gets better soon.

I was told just the opposite, to use a heating pad, and to make sure I had something between it and the skin...as if I would apply it without...lol...going for a nap, my hydro has kicked in and I am very sleepy...will take a walk later when my daughter gets home, cause I dont like to walk by...

I'm slowly adding tiny things to my diet. I've introduced a few very soft foods, which technically I can start on Monday, so today being Friday, I didn't think it would hurt all that much. I had to take my daughter and granddaughter to the dr today, and my granddaughter wanted pizza for lunch...

Just got off the phone with the surgeon's office. They are waiting to hear back from one of the doctors it seems that nobody is available right now. I am still having pain in the left incision (large one) of course I am aware that this is normal. I have some bloody drainage after I got the...

Yes, we have a Kroger about 20 minutes from here, not out of the way, I'll have to go and check it out, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks everyone for all the info. You would think that there would be some sort of normality when it comes to sugar grams, etc....I tried the pills in my soup today, just enough to get them down. Someone told me that I can get prilosec in liquid form at the pharmacy...don't know if that is true...

Hi Newrny, I am only 1 week out from surgery...I am having a hard time with drinking or eating...some days I feel like I am starving and other times I feel that I am way too full to eat anything. I need to follow all of these suggestions too....I use my mini blender to puree my soups, and today...

Hi everyone! I feel a little frustrated but am taking things day by day....Can anyone give me some suggestions as to some full liquids that I could have?? Right now I am drinking v-8 juice, protein drinks (though I am told I am not getting enough protein in), water, creamy soups...just getting...

For me, it doesn't matter about the height on here...I'm not offended by anyone or anything that has ever been said on here. I'm barely 5'1 and short waisted as well...my being over 250 lbs sure makes me super morbid obese....there is light at the end of the tunnel though....

Hi Elizabeth, sorry to hear you are having a rough time on your liquid diet. Was the 3 week mandatory? I only had to do 1 week of pre-op liquid diet. have you tried any protein drinks? I know how you feel about being sick of liquids. I had been doing liquids, this is now week 3, 1 week is post...

they told me the pain was normal. However, I have also not had a bowel movement yet, she told me to take some milk of magnesia, that could be the cause of the pain I am in right now.

My throat is feeling better right now, just wish the pain in my left side would go away. I can take my hydro but it doesn't help the pain. I get my staples out tomorrow so I will address this pain then. I had a loss on the scales today, so I am happy about this!

Tom, I found that if I drink some DanActive yogurt with my pills, it's not too bad, I can tolerate it enough to get them down. I am still tired, took a little nap today, did some walking but the pain I was in really couldn't get me moving any more than I was. I accidentally hit someone with my...
