it is amazing to see how everyone's diets difffer. i will be 3 weeks out thursday. at 1 week out i started the soft foods. can have 2 tbsps of any kind of meat/fish/poultry as long as it isn't a potted meal. it is supposed to be pureed but doing that it has no taste. so i make sure i cut it up really small and chew, chew, chew. vegies and fruits have to be mashable. good luck everyone with their diets!

ty for the ideas. i'll keep them in mind. right now i am only 11 days post op so too early for fruits and nuts.

i haven;t tempted eating out yet. but yesterday i had a graduation party and was at my father's today. i didn't know what to take with me and i knew there wasn't gonna be anything that i could eat. so i ended up leaving early so i could eat at home, not that i wanted to eat but knew i needed to. uggggggggggg

i started my soft foods on friday and i have no desire to eat. i'm also having trouble with figuring out what i can take with me if i;m gonna be out of the house for a few hours. hoping someone can help me with some suggestions

ty so much for that bit of info. i am a pb junkie and soooo hating that i can't have it. i will have to look for this.

u are doing fine. i am 3 days post op and using skim milk. my paperwork from nutrition actually says to mix the Protein with milk. my problem is that i am already tired of the shakes.< /p>

ty all for the advice. it is interesting to see how different some of our pills are. we are told no tums, not the right kind of Calcium. told to take the B12 with dinner, letting it sit under our tongues. i thought about the injections but i have real bad anxiety with injecting myself.

Started my B12 subliningal today. i didn't think it was every gonna melt. any suggestions on making it melt faster? i ended up chewing it up when it was half melted.

thanks!

i have heard about taste buds changing after surgery. i have tried the Unjury powders. like the strawberry and chocolate. love the Atkins strawberry shakes. it's hard to try things when everything comes in such large containers.

hi all. i am 3 weeks from my surgery, nervous and excited at the same time. ordered my Vitamins, just need to get my Protein. any suggestions for Protein shakes? how to prepare for surgery?

thanks
