One months six months nine months?Wow let us know how it goesGood to know! Thx guysMy dr said my stomached would be healed 10-14 daysYes it's normalMine said "no whites" alsoYes that is EXACTLY wher my pain is! Hooray I'm not the only one and hooray that it's normalHow many calories are you 10-15 day post oper's getting a day?Wow I'm shocked you were in the hospital for four days. where there any complications?Wow they wanted me on protein immediatelyRefried beans are on the list:) but not til Monday:( day 13:(Scared but I really wanna try Refried bean......... HmmmmmmI hv a timer on my phone and it goes off every five minutes for me to drink. And I think a sip is about 3 to 5 tablespoonsI meant jello... What's it like to be eating a lil real food? How much and does it make u feel better cause I'm exhausted????I've had hello too. I'm so sick of protein shakes! Bring on the softys is right! I tolerated a yogurt & a couple bites of cottage cheese well and it made me feel sooooo much better. I've been light headed dizzy and felt soooo calorie deprived.
