I need help! I am four months out and tend to eat the same few things over and over again, mostly Soup and chili. Would love to hear how far out you are, what you eat and how much. I have a hard time getting my Protein in with the small amounts I eat. M

HELP!!! I would love to see what the rest of you are eating. I eat the same few things over and over again, not enough Protein. I am frustrated. eggs are NOT my friend. Please suggest menus. M

I stayed in the hospital one night, came home, stayed in bed for another day or two and then started participating in life again. You will probably not have the energy to prepare a meal or clean up but you will be able to enjoy your children, open gifts, cuddle! Nothing like a little nap when needed. Christmas need not be a wash. Concentrate your energy on your priorities.

5 weeks out. does anyone successfully eat Chinese food? what do you eat? Maggir

How true!

Sounds like you are on the right track. Good Luck. Maggie

Jess, Are you taking Nexium or Prilosec? I am so sorry for your troubles, I hope this is the start of an upswing for you.

I too need help. I am one month out and bored with the same few foods I keep eating. I am going to add shrimp, scallops and tilapia to my menu for variety, but would love to hear what others are eating.

Thank you Ladies, I am definitely going shopping tomorrow for fish and seafood. Steamer bags sound like a great idea. Do you use butter in your preparation or just plain steamed? Maggie

I am one month out and would love to add some new food to my repertoire. When did you first try shrimp. Any other suggestions. Maggie

Anxious to see any answers, I will be 4 weeks on Wednesday, and scale is stuck. Maggie

Do you mix the tuna with anything? Maggie

I will definitely try blending them with ice tomorrow. Suddenly seem so sweet to me, perhaps the ice will cut it. Maggie

I am almost one month post op and am having trouble meeting the Protein requirements. I would appreciate any suggestions, would love sample menus. I can't seem to eat enough to meet the requirements. Thanks, Maggie

I can't imagine how anyone gets in enough protein AND fluids in the purée and soft food stage. Would really love if those of you in the purée stage share your menus. Today, Pure Protein shake prepared mixed with 8 ounces skim milk to cut the sweetness. Took all day to drink it, I am so sick of Protein shakes. 2 hard boiled eggs puréed with mayo 1 string cheese with 2 tablespoons of hummus. 1/2 cup puréed homemade bean Soup with one tablespoon cheese melted on top AND not nearly enough Water.

For no one to know the group needs to be secret instead of closed. With a secret group posts will not show up on regular FB and it won't say so and so joined group so and so. I too am apprehensive because I have not told a lot of people.

In a closed group our comments will not be secret, the group needs to be secret for it to not post on regular Facebook. Does this make sense?
