Need soft food ideas
My daughter made tuna casserole with cream of mushroom soup with garlic, mushrooms, tuna, and noodles. It was awesome! I'm on puréed so I blended mine but it was still very tasty. I've also had wonton soup blended and egg drop soup (not blended).

I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?
I am off U500 insulin in my pump and on regular novo log now. My Diabetic Educator said there is a good chance I will be off all insulin with hopes my pancreas kicks in again. I'm adult onset type 1. My surgery was Feb 20 and doing great. Wish I could have done this years ago! Go baby boomers!!

protein shake brands
I just got my sample pack yesterday from bariatric choice.com. I got caramel pudding (very tasty) and chicken soup (phase 1) also better than any I've tried. I told my friend about their site and we both got $10!! Feel free to use my referral number for your own ten. And go thru their online chat for a free sample pack and free shipping on your order. So far great tasty products. My # is 7042728. Gets you $10!!

How long was it before you....you know...
At one week I tried but was severely constipated. Stuck for 3 hours. Don't wait any longer you need to call your doc or nut. Mine recommended Milk of Magnesia for fastest relief or Miralax for 2-3 days. Don't wait. It was the most painful experience of my life. No joke. Call today.

back in the hospital
Praying for you.

Back to work
Isn't that pushing it? My surgeon recommends a month off for healing. He says ill feel like returning but my insides need to heal. Be careful all you who plan on limited time off. You've had major reworking of your innards!!
