Lots of luck to you!

What a transformation! You look fantastic!

Super!

I've tried a coke slushy once when I was in the mood for soda. It wasn't too bad. A lot of sugar, though.

Awesome!

I had surgery with Dr. Casillas on 12/30/11. I had no problems with my surgery. I think he's a great surgeon.

Good Luck! :smile1:

Congratulations! :happy:

Thank you Thomas, iegal and jennifer for your advice. :thumbs_up:

Thank you all for your advice! I really appreciate it. I never saw a nut. before having the surgery. I was just given a diet sheet with the stages and what foods to eat for each stage. I guess I mis-read the info and thought I could eat Tuna. *yikes* I am supposed to see the internal medicine doctor next month and hopefully a nut. too. Again...thank you. :smile1:

Hi everyone. I just wanted to say first that I am new to this site. Great people who are on here too. I've all ready learned a lot from reading the posts. Okay..so here's my deal. I am just past two weeks post op. On Sunday I was supposed to start the mushy phase of the diet. However, I have been dealing with dehydration issues. One time I was in the ER and had to get fluids and recently I was back in the ER with a UTI because of dehydration. So, from reading on the boards....I've stopped the mushy phase and went back to drinking liquids and Protein shakes. I had read on the boards how serious dehydration can be and it scared me. Anyway, I just wanted to eat something....you know.....get that texture in your mouth kind of feeling? So, I had 1/4 cup of mushed tuna. Well within a few moments I had to run to the bathroom and throw it all up. Oh! It was awful. Any advice on what to do to avoid this in the future? Oh! And, any advice about avoiding dehydration would REALLY be appreciated as this seems to be a real complication for me thus far. Thank you. :biggrin2:

I always loved Levi's and can't wait to wear those again. :-)

The same thing happened to me...no drain ....and I wig'd when I saw the blood. Didn't know that's how it heals. But, it does stop relatively soon.

I'm only two weeks post op so I haven't been able to eat "real food". But, the one thing so far that made me sick were sugar free fudgesicles. :sad_smile:

Great news! :woot:

Congratulations! :purplebananna:

Congratulations! :biggrin2:

I've been told that sometimes people can become lactose intolerant after this surgery. Maybe the skim milk is making your tummy upset?

I am only a little over a week post op and I have the SAME thing. I am sick in the mornings and get tired very soon afterwards. I take my vitamins and my protein shakes (since I'm still on the liquid phase) but I'm still feeling lethargic. It seems like fatigue can last for a long while from what's been said on the previous posts. I guess this too shall pass with time....

Wow! You look really good.
