Yes, the not drinking and eating together is a hard thing which I still don't always get right if I am busy and don't remember to follow the 30 minute rule.
The yogurt question is different for different providers. Mine said yes, but for first two weeks I could only cope with natural runny ones, although they had less protein than some other makes that were marketed as high. It made a change in texture and also was less filling than a fluid. Chicken has been an issue for a lot of people in all its forms, as it seems to be quite indigestible to WLS people.

Can be the acidity of the fruit, or the amount of fibre. Also depending on what fruit the amount of seeds/pips - some providers suggest a completely smooth liquid diet so as not to aggravate or inflame the healing pouch/sleeve. I did use fruit in smoothies but not in the first few weeks, added to protein shake, but I sieved the pips/seeds out.
Always best to follow your own providers advice, which varies greatly and makes our life a lot harder!

Exactly the same. I was just about to post to say I can really feel pulling this afternoon in the area under the biggest incision and the bruising has come out around it today.
That's great re fluids. I'm probably managing about 1200. Got myself all worked up about it but realised I just need to be patient and my stomach is healing. Have you weighed in a week post op?

Looking forward to the 26th now as i cannot wait to taste something other than milk again. Glad to hear everyone's surgeries and recovery are going well too. Has anyone else been told that they can go straight to puree food after their op?

Question to anyone having injections after their wls:
Where is the best place to stick it? My first was done by the nurse in my gut, then the second was done by me. I asked where and was told stomach or thigh, so I picked thigh. I've since read you shouldn't do it into a muscle, but the body is covered in muscles?

I was told into the fat around the stomach/belly button area - the surrounding "flab" I mean, not in the belly button!
Were you not given a patient info leaflet with your injections? In the box?
I had fragmin and the attached picture is from the leaflet - outer thighs or stomach area but the stomach area is preferred - also I was told to alternate sides each day.
Another piece of advise, don't rub the area after injecting, it will bruise more - it stings but don't rub it!
However, this might be different for different drugs!

I done mine in my belly if you can grab the fat and pinch it it's helps. Avoided my leg as it bled lots.
