it is really good Mami. I plan to make my own this weekend using Turkey Burger instead of beef.

not normal at all

9 ounces is spread out through the day not all at once.

yes worm I recommended the bowel prep. I would even do it sooner if even just one day depending on your food intake as I got out Thursday and from Friday to Saturday I dealt with the worst impacted bowel and it would not come out. I did suppositories and miralax and it did not work. it was a real nightmare

thank you. DL I am loving the new me already and I am just beginning!!!!

wooohoooo!!!!!

yeah the chili is on the list of foods surgeon said I can eat during this stage and it is like pouch friendly for now as we are to introduce new foods as trail and error. the small chili has under 300 calories and I eat on it like all day and it has 20 something grams of protein so with me having to get 80 in. day surgeon said I still have to drink protein shakes as I will not eat enough to get the protein in. I called the office to make sure as I was really worried about this. so when given the all clear I went and bought 2 more for the next few days lol

the one thing I wish my surgeon required before surgery would be the 2 day bowel prep. it was the worst part of post op I went through

full liquid diet includes strained cream soups and cottage cheese. this helped me tremendously

you will do great!! I was happily surprised!! thought at first the scale must been broke lol

sigh of relief!! and yeah it takes me an hour or more to eat that 1/2 cup so its not like I eat it fast.

my start out weight was 287 back in March/April 2012. before surgery got down to 273 at surgery 10/29/12 was 276 and one week post op yesterday was at 258.

good luck!! I am sure it will all work out!! maybe if you talked to the records department and play in their sympathies they will speed up the process for you. and also you should be able to pick them up yourself if your not too far away

I have one on! just had staples pulled out year. I do have one smallpox incision that my bra messes with right at the band

awesome progress!!!

OK so I read and read on here where a lot of you evenp up to 5 weeks out can only eat one or two bites. I am 9 days post op and got over 600 calories in today. so jpwp I feel like what am I doing wrong? here is what I have had today. 9 ounces of total lean Protein shake for Breakfast 1 SF popcicle 1/2 Wendy's small chili for lunch 1/2 Wendy's small chili for dinner 1 SF 4 ounce Italian ice 8 ounce 1% milk with 1/3 cup powder milk and half scoop of body fortress Protein Powder (trying different ways to get use to it again) so that's it besides what little Water I have been sipping in between

hey dionna!!!!! that drain was a killer!!!! Dr. Shin said its not that bad I told him who is he kidding LOL. you will love it here and since I left his office I am now addicted to Wendy's small chili. last me all day.

mind you they are soggy from chili juice

I am 9 days post op and crackers are on my list of foods surgeon said I can eat now

I am worried about same thing. surgery9 days ago and surgeon has me on soft foods pureed. I worry because like today I was able to drink (over a few hours of course) 9 ounces of protein drink, one popcicle and 1/2 cup SF instant pudding and about 1/2 of a Wendy's small chili. and I feel like I could continue eating the other half. but because I feel guilty that this is too much food too soon I will wait a few more hours to eat the rest

suppose to ne 1-2 ounces every 15 minutes

so had staples and drain removed yesterday, definatley took away the pain I was having. one week post op and now on pureed /soft food stage yayyy!!! last night had Wendy's small chili with crackers which is on my list surgeon gave me and no issues at all. going to go get some today too

so your just pure clear liquids?? I was going to ask how much you eat in a day. I know I am not eating much but I feel guilty after eating. like today I had 3 ounces of cottage cheese and a whole can if broccoli and cheese soup made with 1% milk

wow it is really amazing the differences. I know my surgeons office has him and another surgeon and they are even different on things. I wonder when we can have refried beans with cheese. that's what I am craving

Kraft has a sandwich spread that is like 30 calories and has the relish in it already. I think I will use that
