I hear you!!!!! I started mushies yesterday and I never thought I'd be so excited to eat tuna!!!!!! It was soooo good.

Mine are 1.65 fl oz.

Yea I believe it's mostly the self pay patients. It's alot cheaper down there and the doctors are supposedly very good and knowledgeable.

oh man. Well on the bright side, they say it's only temporary. It will grow back

Is that hair lost at one time? I ordered biotin online and it should be arriving today. I'm terrified of this! Lol. Here's to hoping it works! I'm only 2 wks post op so I want to get a jump on it now.

Lots of protein AND DRINK DRINK DRINK. I put the unflavored protein powder in everything. I still hungry and wanted food but I didn't feel tired and fatigued.

Wow!!!!! You look fantastic!

I was back to work after 9 days. I have an office job so it was fine. I had no 'no energy' issues afte surgery. I was actually pretty amazed at how awesome I felt. But everyone is different. Hopefully you'll feel great!!

Yea def try to get your fluids in before your foods at this point. Good luck !!!

You're only a lil more than a week out? What are u Allowed to eat? I was on full liquids at that stage. Try some creamy soup. I loved my tomato soup with lots of grated parm!!! So tasty and satisfying. Tons of cream soups out there for some different tastes.

Yea I think you're fine. I wouldn't worry.

Seems normal. I'm also two weeks out. April 9. Today was the first day of my two weeks of puréed foods. I am not allowed yet to have solids like chicken. Unless its a chicken salad puréed. I had one egg this morning and was able to finish it no problem. This afternoon I ate a few ounces of tuna salad. Felt satisfied. I would think half a chicken breast would make u feel full. Everyone is different though. Be grateful you can eat that. Some ppl can't seem to get the chicken down. I can't wait to try!!!

Ugh. That sux. Maybe *peices* of chicken is too much. Might not be ready for that solid yet.

Oh no what happened?

Just sent a request!

So you'll be about 4 wks post? Sushi? Minus the rice? Red lobster? Broiled seafood? Theres always taco bell refried beans. Lmao. J/K

Love.

I use the body fortress. It has whey isolate. I like it.

Im 2 wks post. Have only lost a few since. Are you still on liquids? If you're not getting alot of calories in this could be why. Our bodies are in starvation mode. I start mushy tomorrow. Once you start eating more normal foods we should start to see the numbers. I know it sux.

Would love to have some friends! My username is JenniferDhenin.

Me too nancy. My bras weren't the issue. The darn waistband was not pleasant. Even scraped my incision had to keep it covered.

Jello, broth, crystal light, all sugar free. Not a whole lot to choose from! Sf ice pops...

Yep. I had one too. Kill two birds with one stone.

I say lucky you! I had to do a week. It was hard.

I say go for the 6 lbs and enjoy!!! Beats waiting 6 months like I had to do. Good luck!!!
