I just tried sugar free jello with light whipped cream. I also eat tomato soup. It has been the only soup ive been able to enjoy. I am only a week post-op though. When did everyone introduce eggs? Im dying for new ideas!

I am using BetterMD. They have good flavor if you like shakes(not me..so makes it even harder)! They are pricey but needed for pre-op diet. Definitely won't be using post-op! I too, second guessed my surgery! I think I told my husband daily that I would cancel it! But, it's now less than a...

Hi Cindy, Sorry to hear what is going on. I too, am having the Sleeve a week from today. I will be paying close attention to these symptoms. I did however, work for an outpatient endoscopy group for years. I recently quit to raise my baby. Curious, have they switched your medications? There...
