Bought crackers as I can have them now. I think it's a bad thing to have in my house. I'm eating them and its not good. Got to get rid of them. DOS 12/17/12

I ate grilled chicken but I dipped it in a plain yogurt dip to make sure it was moist. DOS 12/17/12

Chapstick, undies, hairbrush toothbrush and your own pillow. Cell and cell charger or laptop iPad. I never used TV. I was groggy half the time from the pain pump meds! They give you socks with grippers on bottom. Toss them when you leave. DOS 12/17/12

Oh no! Sorry you had to deal with dumping. I'm so scared to dump. DOS 12/17/12

I started a few weeks after my surgery and its real heavy. DOS 12/17/12

I've only been released to walk 15 min a day 5 days a week. Patience is my best friend! Glad we are all in the same boat. Keep trucking along! DOS 12/17/12

I keep fluctuating up and down a pound. Frustrating! I can't complain, I've lost 26 lbs in 3 1/2 weeks, but obviously I'm in lingo now. DOS 12/17/12

I'm 26 days post op and I have been having puréed stuff. Scrambled eggs with melted cheese, egg salad, tuna salad, Wendy's chili, mashed potatoes sweet potatoes, ground hamburger with cheese melted on it (chew well). Imitation crab meat, refried Beans FF with a little melted cheese on top, cauliflower mashed, cottage cheese, salmon to name a few. DOS 12/17/12

My support group mentioned miralax to help with constipation. DOS 12/17/12

My surgeon said to focus on staying hydrated and we could work on getting protein at 70g over the next few weeks. Looks like your doing just fine! I'm almost a month out and I'm just making my protein goals. DOS 12/17/12

Thank you! Try the cream of Soups ( strained. That was so yummy. Cream of mushroom my favorite. DOS 12/17/12

We're you using regular milk before? I was using 1%. Then went to the lactose free. DOS 12/17/12

Body fortress whey Protein powder choc strawberry vanilla. Sells at Walmart DOS 12/17/12

I had the same thing. I changed to fat free lactose free milk with the shakes and diarrhea ceased. Thank god! I do still go poop 2 times a day but they are more solid (sorry TMI)! DOS 12/17/12

Awesome job!!! DOS 12/17/12

And I've lost 26 lbs so far! You can do it!!! DOS 12/17/12

Had the same buyers remorse too. I'm almost one month out, and each day will get better. Walk laps around the house as much as you can and sip liquids all day long. You need to stay hydrated. I felt so much better by day 6. Keep going, it does get better! DOS 12/17/12

I wear the genie bra pre op and post op. I'm a 46 DD and wear a 3x genie bra. I'm already in need of next size down. Lost 26 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks. They do hold up the girls. DOS 12/17/12

I'm up a pound but my period is here! DOS 12/17/12

I use fitness pal. Nutritionist was happy when I gave average protein intake per day and liquids. Need to increase both by next Friday. DOS 12/17/12

I used to say at the beginning of every season, that I would diet and exercise too. Well that didn't happen. LOL. I ate crap on the couch watching the show. DOS 12/17/12

I had sweet potato tonight and was fine. I had chicken from Tyson that is pre marinade Italian. I chopped up extremely small and made a Greek yogurt mayo dip for it from egg face website. So each piece of chicken was dipped. Yum. DOS 12/17/12
