I haven't had any issues with the foods I have tried and I'm a little afraid. My hubby seems to think I shouldn't be able to eat like this. I take that back.This morning I tried a Vienna sausage and it tasted like someone poured pure salt in my mouth. Then I ate 3/4 of a Carbmaster yogurt. 2 green beans, as much as a could of a pure protein shake and 2 bites of chicken tortilla soup. Sound like too much at this point. It's 5:47

Congrats!!

Yeah. I want to lose 60 or so. He said it should come off pretty quickly. I have been walking...a lot. I think aim just hungry. My hubby is terrified I will end up in the hospital.

I have lost 15, but today I've-been cheating. I ate a Vienna sausage, a slice of turkey, and some crab dip. I'm afraid I'm going to fail this. Please don't bear me up.

You know. I thought about that, but I have this weird hairy tongue thing going on. It makes me want to gag anyway. I don't know how well that would go. ????

I am a lower BMI patient. I had no pre-op diet only clear liquids 24 hrs before. Even with that I thought I would die, but you will survive. Hang in there. You will look back and realize it was really only a minor hiccup in the grand scheme of things. I almost think it would have been better to get use to not eating with a pre-op diet. It felt a bit abrupt for me.

I guess he's mad because I said he didn't care. He said he only went because I said it was ok, but was I supposed to tell him no, don't pick up food for the kids?

I was on the phone with a friend I met in the hospital. She met my hubby and asked about how my husband was handling eating. I said " girl he doesn't care. He drove me to Chick-fila on the way home from the hospital. He was eavesdropping at the door. Now he won't talk to me. Just what I need! He did take me to chick fila and they have been eating in front of me and it is hard, but I really didn't mean to say he hasn't been helpful, because he has been a tremendous help. I was really just talking and he heard the worst of the conversation. Am I evil?

I have heard it might be gas. Hang in there. I'm 5 days out too and I still want to eat. I can't really. It's just my mind saying wouldn't it be nice if you could have some of this or that. I tried some red bean broth today and it was good. I'm taking it a moment at a time. Hang in there, girl. You can do it. Think of your favorite clothing store that u haven't shopped in for decades. That will be ur fav spot this summer! Be fabulous!

Good luck. Let me know how things go.

Yeah. It's weird because I can't eat anything. I try things take a few bites and I'm done. Even if I think they taste ok. When are your having your surgery?

Smells aren't bad. It's just in my head, I know! But I hate everything in this stage. I would kill for a boiled egg or some tuna right now.

Thanks! I am trying. I can't get around much and have no where to go. I did go in my room and closed the door. I still here the oven peeping. I just thought it would be easier.

4 days post op! I want meat!!! Desperately! I can't stand these protein supplements. I want to chew something! I thought it would be easier that this. Now I see how people end up back in the Er after downing a burrito. My hubby is back from the store with chicken fries, flaming hot Funyuns, hot dogs.. By no means a steak, but it feels that way right now. Lord please let that food aversion kick in soon or I will be doomed!!

I am kind of sad. All protein stinks! I tried to use Nectar unflavored in cream of wheat. I guess I shouldn't warm that stuff up. It started to look like cheese shavings. I couldn't really try it. I'm afraid I will get dehydrated because nothing tastes good!!! I can keep it down but it smells and tastes disgusting. Any suggestions? I'm so discouraged.

I was 242 the morning I left for the hospital. Yesterday before leaving the hospital I was 242.9( I think it was the fluids). 237 this morning. So I have lost a net of 5 pounds this week. I have to be honest. I'm not hungry, but I sure miss food. I tried to purée some Mac and Cheese. It was disgusting!! How is that possible?

Thanks for all of your prayers. I am out of the hospital now. I was released yesterday.

I'm at home now. I had to stay 3 nights. I can swallow though now I'm concerned with dehydration. I have to keep fluids in me and I am already struggling.

I am out of surgery, but still in the hospital since Tuesday. I may be released tomorrow. My stomach still hurts when I try to drink anything.

Thanks for the prayers. I'm still here 2 days later. I still will not be released yet. I can't drink without pain. Has anyone else has to stay this long?
