Congrats!!!

Happy birthday Anjela!!!

I'm almost 4 months out!! Thanks for the birthday wishes....however I was unable to start the 5 day pouch test today not because my birthday but my friends dog had puppies, she killed 3 of the 5 and one is hanging on for dear life! I spent all day at her house and I brought the sicker of the two home with me! So I'm on puppy duty until she gets better!! I'm gonna promise to start tomorrow so I'll just be one day behind you guys!!!

Good luck today!!

if they are metal....yes.....if you wear plastic they won't make you! I have stretched ears and I wore plastic the day of surgery and they didn't make me take them out!

can't wait!!! It's gonna kinda me hard cuz tomorrow is my birthday! But I'm determined to do it all the way through!

Canned chicken went down not good at all! Always got stuck but chicken was always a problem for me and still is! Funny thing is I can eat every other type of meat except chicken and that doesn't really bother me because I now eat more meats than I did before because my tastes have changed ALOT! I used to never get pork or ribs and those are 2 of my favorites now! I never ate beans or chilli but I love those now too! Your taste buds change once you have surgery!

Yeah I would buy the book but I'm a cheapskate lol! I am just gonna do the basics! I'm just gonna do the 5 day pouch test to see if it will help me loose some extra pounds cuz I've been at a plateau/gain for over 3 weeks now!

I was bad and I did eat it with white bread but only on 1 slice and it helped coat it and make it go down easier but when I ate it without bread that early on it would get stuck so use caution! I also mixed fat free mayo with the tuna!

Tuna was a lifesaver for me! Hated it before surgery and now I love it!!!

Days One & Two: liquid Protein low-carb Protein shakes, broth, clear or cream Soups, sugar-free Gelatin and pudding. Read more. Day 3: Soft Protein canned fish (tuna or salmon) eggs, fresh soft fish (tilapia, sole, orange roughy. Read more. Day 4: Firm Protein ground meat (turkey, beef, chicken, lamb), shellfish, scallops, lobster, fresh salmon or halibut. Read more. Day 5: Solid Protein white meat poultry, beef steak, pork, lamb, wild game Read more.

I think it was between 6 and 8 weeks I was on full liquids for 2 weeks then puréed for another 3 because I couldn't tolerate solid foods then I moved on to semi solids then slowly added more solids I didn't really eat normal again until about 12 weeks out!

Unjury has unflavored I only tried it in crystal light it wasn't that great because it is like creamy but I'm guessing it would be good in pudding, soups and milk

Hope you recover soon!!

Yeah I stocked up too!! I really really want to shed some extra pounds next week!!

I ordered a sample pack of the nectars and ohh em gee they are so good like drinking koolaid no after taste and they are great tasting!!

I'm a stay at home mom lol so I don't get time off work but I was back to my normal self probably about a week and a half later!

Kim I was bloated for the 1st 5 days after and then all of a sudden it was gone it was the weirdest thing ever!!

Congrats!

Yay I'm glad your feeling better! They thought I had a stricture in the beginning but it turned out that they advanced my diet too fast and things were still swollen inside!
