I am seven days post op (sleeve) and love the timing of this video! 🙂. Protein drinks taste miserably sweet to me, and anything with artificial sweetener has never appealed to my taste (even before surgery). So, I do find the liquid stage challenging even though I am very thankful I have no physical problems hitting my fluid intake daily. Your encouraging words reenforce what I tell myself every day.....small season in a long journey. Worth it. Wait it out. Time does pass, and I don't think it is truly physical hunger that I feel as much as a desire for flavor. (I'm going to try your V-8! That's new to me!). I had a lot of scar tissue from a previous lapband, so my surgeon said it is extra important for me to not rush healing. I have no intention of doing so, but the days do feel a little long when I'm mostly just refilling my water bottle. Your video is special to me, and I will be rewatching in days to come.
I lived on my homemade refried beans and yogurt for months.....not something I ate much before....at 11 months still my grab and go foods...my freezer still has 3 oz cups of beans ready to go add in some cheese....and I am still loving them!
I've had the sleeve and been revised to bypass. The only issue I had with the sleeve was potatoes. With the bypass, rice and pasta feel me painfully fast. Somedays some foods make me feel sick, then other days that same food doesn't.
Thank you for this. I'm almost 7 months post RNY and have had a few days where my stomach did not tolerate eggs, etc. 2 oz every few hours of protein gets me by as does waiting 1-2 minutes between bites.
Hi Kaki, you talk about getting clear liquid diet on the first day. Then on the second day you were allowed a full liquid diet and you mentioned diet V8 Splash juice, is it OK to have fruit juices at that time?
Hi there! My plan allowed for the "diet" juice like V8 Splash that is labelled as diet. I would say just pay attention to your body, if it irritates your stomach in any way, back off, otherwise I found it a good source of hydration.
Hi there! I did not like dark meat either before surgery, but found that I do like it after. I would suggest try a small amount and see. Your taste really does change.

I am so glad that the video was helpful!! You are so smart not to rush things, especially in your situation. It will be so worth it in the end!

Awesome!!!

Isn't it funny how some days things sit well and some days they don't?

You are welcome! Eggs seem to be a sticking point for lots of folks.
Do you track how much protein you eat every day?
I do! I use the app Lose It and track my food intake, which calculates macros like protein, carbs and fats.

@ what about diet Pedialyte which provides important electrolytes.
@@rachelkogan4799 I would think that would be ok if it did not contain sugar.
What do you do when you don’t like dark meat before surgery? I think it taste dirty. I’m scared to try since my surgery.
