 went for my sleeve and galbladder surgery on wednesday. everything went really well. that barium stuff is the worst!!!! :/ i ended up throwing it back up :(  anyway.. started liquids yesterday and came home today. when i got home.. i wanted to try some protein shakes.. well my dr wants me to shoot for 1oz of fluids every 15 minutes. so far i have taken down 3oz of protein and have diahera twice already... what gives? anyone else have that problem?

Yes, I had that problem the entire time I was on liquids, it was awful. I started soft foods on Wednesday, it has gotten a little bit better, but I'm still having mostly liquids because I'm sort of scared to eat. My NUT said as I start to introduce more soft solids it will get better.

Hey girl!! SO happy for you! sounds like you are right on track!! And the runs are totally normal cause all you are putting in are liquids. It will get better on solids!! Just be glad you are going. Some of us don't or couldn't at that point!!

Congrats!
