When I had my first red meat, I started to go more regular. I have had steak or a hamburger (no roll on small salad) at least once a week.

No, no taste! It can take a few days to work though.

My husband LOVES to ride his mountain bike! All he has talked about is getting me back on a bike, well last Sunday I did ride for 2 miles. I would have done more but, my butt was killing me since it was his old bike, too tall for me, wrong seat etc. Now I am looking to buy a bike of my own again, sold mine 15 years ago! I'll have to let you know how it goes.

Try Clemmy's, the choc and vanilla is good! No sugar does have sugar alcohol's though! Harris Teeter and Safeway have it.

My Doc said no tortilla's for 6 months, I may try the tomato, that's sounds perfect!

It's too hot out for me to walk, I use my treadmill even though I hate it!

You'll be back on track in no time! I know you are not looking forward to the liquid diet but, that was when I lost the most weight! I hope you do too : )

I pray they figure it out and fix it soon! Feel better soon!

I've been eating zucchini, I am also 6 weeks post op

Your story sounds just like me, I read what everyone said about the more protein and I will add another protein shake and see if it helps. It is very upsetting, I agree 100%! I pray the protein is the trick!

That is a big goal of mine!

Oh I forgot to say it was not white foam, it was vomit and there was even force behind it! Yuck!

I went a whole month without vomiting, tonight that ended. I ate something that I have eaten quite a bit over the past two weeks. I have no idea why it happened , I had only taken a few bites and I started feeling horrible. It took about forty-five minutes later before I got sick.

Tomorrow is 30 days and today I have lost 29 pounds

It was just ok to me, I have NEVER liked cottage cheese and it may just be in my head. I prefer plain no fat greek yogurt with sugar free jelly.

Have fun and say Hi to Mickey!

I have been wondering the same thing, I am 3 weeks today and have lost 24 pounds (surgery 6/12). The last few days I have stayed the same weight however, I have been very constipated! Maybe after I go, I might lose some weight.

Great Job!

I was doing great , pooping everyday for the whole week after surgery. Then I started the pureed diet and I had not gone in 4 days. My husband convinced me to try dolcolax around 1030 last night. Around 0130 I did go but, my god did it hurt, since I already have hemorrhoids! First thing this morning I called the doctors office and talked with the dietitian and the doctor. Apparently I was not drinking as much since I started eating food, so the doctor told me that I needed to eat half as much and drink twice as much to use tuck pads for the pain that have been iced. Also to use the miralax to help with the bowel movements. I have taken the miralax about an hour and half ago and just waiting! Oh one more thing, he told me to wait a few days to take the gallbladder meds. I go for the next post-op visit in a week. I thought I was giving birth last night, horrible pain that I don't ever want again! I pray this is not what my future holds!

Ellicott City, Md My surgeon was Dr. von Rueden at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore 6/12/12 and so far so good! Dr. is very good, did the surgery using the Davinci Robot laproscopically.

I ordered a food scale today, but I honestly don't think it's too much maybe too fast. I was told to wait 30 minutes before drinking and I waited over an hour. I guess after the scale comes, I'll have a better idea.

I am just getting into the pureed stage. 2 times I have eaten food and had no problems until an hour later after trying to drink. I figured if I was going to have issues it would happen a lot sooner. The symptoms are pain in the stomach/pouch. Also sharp back pains on left side. Nothing has come up. Any thoughts?

I had surgery on the 12th, I still think that I look swollen although my husband doesn't think so. I do admit it doesn't feel as tight right now. I have been on the treadmill walking a mile the past two days, it is making the gas leave which really helps.

I just had surgery Tuesday and my back is killing me, doc said allot of it was from lying on the or table for 4 hrs. I hope it gets better soon!

Hey everyone, I just got home. Pretty sore, haven't really passed gas and I have a fever. Just glad to be home!
