Weird. yesterday could barely tolerate anything.. now....

Today.. I'm taking almost regular drinks of my Crystal Lite? 

Now I see how people get worried sooo easy.     Okay.. had VSG on the 19th.  Been feeling okay I guess..  last night.. I could NOT take another sip of Chicken broth so.. I had hubby buy me a can of Campbells Chicken Gumbo.  
I didn't have ANYTHING - ANYTHING but several spoonfuls of the CLEAR JUICE  from the soup and immediately felt 100% better.    Not one speck of food did I swallow.  But, felt sooo much better.
Oh.. let me add.. was having a hard time getting in my proteins as well.. but.. another story..
But today!!  Omggggg.. I feel sooo much better!  Omgg.. where yesterday I could barely get a sip to go down.. today.. I'm drinking like before the surgery...

Okay.. not complaining.. just an observation?  Love to hear comments on your experience like this?

p.s.. feeling soo good.. i'm doing some much needed house cleaning.. ;  )

My advice don't get ahead of yourself.  You had MAJOR abdominal surgery and as a result you are succeptible to hernias for the simpliest thing.  And you won't know you had one for awhile.  So be CAREFUL.

The VSG changes from day to day.  Especially in those early days.  I still have days where nothing feels RIGHT and days where to MUCH feels right, lol!

Thanks MsShell!

Yeah.. it's just the oddest thing..  

Quick question?    Not that I'm craving any.. cause another odd thing I'm realizing.. I'm craving Beans!  Good grief.. I don't even like beans!!  lol.. omg..

But, question.. are you eating any rice at this point?   Or say.. what's the one carb you do eat.. say the main one?

Thanks.. you really are a wealth of info. I've read your blog and have really enjoyed it.   Thanks for taking the time to do all that  ;  )

I stayed FAR away from carbs for awhile and they still cause me a little discomfort.  On a regular basis I don't eat carbs.  On a minor basis I eat more tortillas then anything.

Ms Shell

Cool.. thanks again...

I love tortillas too..   I'm thinking my biggest problem will be making meals without rice tho..

Hmmmm.. altho by that time, I'll probably have a whole new way of cooking..  ;  )

 Glad you are feeling better today.  I remember when I got so sick of chicken broth, I sent dh to the local chinese restaurant and he got me some egg drop soup.  I strained the egg out of it and it tasted delicious.  Hot and sour soup is great too!

ahhh!!  yes!!  My friend was telling me about that!  Great idea.. I think I'll do that!  

Thank you thank you.. omgg. I'll literally gag on another oz of broth...lol

I have days where I can practically guzzle my fluids and days where I have to sip and after 2-3 sips feel full. I have days were I can eat pretty well and days were i can only eat a bite here and there. I don't try to analyze it, I just try to live with it lol. I figure maybe in a few weeks or months things may stabilize a bit and I will be able to understand how my new toy works better.

Wonton soup without the wontons works well for me, too.

Ahh cool.. then I don't feel so bad then.. I was thinking.. geez.. I know I haven't done anything wrong! 

Cool.. I'll take it in stride... and be happy for the days I can drink!
