Please help me!!

I felt like I had sweaters growing on my teeth and my mouth has that yucky taste on all liquids. I was brushing every few hours to get rid of the feeling.

Don't worry about being able to drink, be grateful. I could get over 100 oz by day 4 and never felt fullness, but when I started on soft foods, I got full fast. You'll be fine! This will be the hardest part.

I hope so!!! My mouth has such a horrible taste, is hard to describe. How is your journey going? How much do you eat now? how much have you lost?

A lot of us have our progress info in our signatures, like mine. You can see Cecily's in hers

How do you create that ticker???

Click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner, then select Tickers, it tells you there.

Everything is great now. I can eat about 3.5 to 4 oz of protein and a little bit of veggies. It was depressing around week 6 because I just wanted to eat like I used to and physically eating didn't feel good (it didn't feel bad necessarily, it just felt wrong if that makes any sense), but now it feels normal and I'm glad to not have as much room as I used to. I'm down about 77 pounds (60 since surgery on 2/22).

SOOOO Awesome!! Keep up the good work! All of this is a big head change!!!

Doriam,

I was sleeved on the 10th. I'm supposed to be on full liquids...not just clear. My plan even says I can have ff cottage cheese and ff ricotta. Today I had some ricotta with organic tomato sauce because I was craving pasta...boy was it awesome! I tolerated probably a 1/2 c! I'm not worried though. I'm not pushing my limits. I too can drink any amount.

We can do this!

The post op diet isn't a suggestion it's a prescription. Every Dr has a different diet, it's important for the OP to follow the plan she was given.

Well said, Aggie. Advancing your diet on your own is a bad idea and can hurt you.
