I had tuna for lunch with a tablespoon of light mayo with a tablespoon of dill relish, with whole wheat ritz crackers and was so good. I just had a banana small, so far no problems. Not sure what i will have for dinner. I bought some natural skippy peanut butter thats on my list may have a peanut butter and reduced sugar jelly. Not sure

Just ate 4 green grapes. Was told we could have some fruit so i am checking it out, banana tomorrow

Tonight i had a lean cuisine meat loaf with whipped potatoes. It filled me up and it was good.

Finally found a protien drink ensure high protien shake, 25 grams per drink and i like it. Probably get sick of it in 2 weeks. I am so glad

If you go on YouTube you can see the actual surgery for he gall bladder removal. They slide a zip lock bad in their to put the gall bladder in and then pull the gall bladder through your belly button. It's really weird. You can also see the video for the RNY pretty cool if you don't get queasy

I am going to suggest not eating chicken and sweet potato in same meal. I got so full omg it hurt. Didn't vomit but I kinda wish it would have happen. I need to learn the take a bite chew 25 times sit fork down and go again. It's hard to do that when te sweet potato is creamy and no lumps. I did chew chicken well nothing got stuck. But pheww it was painful.

Thanks for the comment, i am 56 so i know what you mean. I have had diabetes for 10 yrs one of the many reasons i had the surgery. I hope next month they take me off the metformin because spmetimes it makes my sugar to low.my biggest concern is just getting the Protein and Fluid in.

I am a type 2 diabetic when mine starts to get low I feel a strangeness in my stomach like a wave I get jittery and faint like I also start to talk weird " family says" I can not concentrate or focus on anything. It's almost like a panic attack somewhat just very weird and then when I eat or drink something and it goes back to normal I feel wiped up the rest of the day. It's not a good feeling and can be scary

I take the bariactric advantage multi Vitamin and bariactric calcium citrate chocolate chew from surgeons office Then I take a 5000 mg Biotin started this a month before surgery 5000 mg b12 under the tongue The surgeon also said to take the Iron with Vitamin C but I was told since I don't have periods i didn't need to take iron from my Gyn. So not going to spend money on iron if I don't need it. I eat alot of green veggies. And I don't like that my poop is black from the iron. Doesn't look normal. If and when I have another blood test to see if I am getting all I need and they say I am low on iron and anemic then I will take the Iron but not till then.

You can always get the wheat crackers they arent bad . Whole wheat toast, some of my menu items in my manual and on the weight loss surgery for dummies suggest 3 crackers with soup and tuna salads

I try to my main stuff is a scrambled egg turkey bacon, the FF refried beans bloated me too fast and Roller said dont eat them, i am only trying stuff he said i can eat all lean meats. And cheeses, i just cant have raw veggies yet. My biggest thing is getting the freaking protein in. So if the only way is with meats thing thats what i gotta do.

I want a club sandwich from this family resturant here. The old fashion one not like subway. Toast cheese turkey ham and bacon lettuce and tomato, they cut it into 4's i think i may try it next week lol

I had. Gas pains but i dont think as bad as everyone else. I never took anything even tho i bought the gas x and stuff. Everyone says walk i did a little bit but was so sleepy all the time. I just try small qtys my SF popsicles SF jello poweraide zero and water. I started soft foods 11 days post op. only with FF refried beans and pudding.

Thats great Jodi!!! You got this

I am 20 days post op, i am on soft food, i can tell i am full when my chest fills pressure, i think my pouch is right there close to the breast bone and when its full i feel pressure i have to stretch a little bit and burp. I have yet to throw up even once dont really get nauseous except when i smell the protein shakes. Which erks me

Hubby got me a cup of broccoli and cheese soup, only had 4 spoons of it till i felt full. Also had mrs vickis vinegar and sea salt chips. Ate about 10 of them. Stuffed now. I am having problems with the protein shakes. Just about any of them. The smell nauseates me. Mostly have used unjury. Got muscle milk light that says no milk. Well it still cramps my stomach. When can we have salad i miss salads,

I had my post op. but he seems to be to fast to me, he is nice but doesn't seem to take much time with the patients. Don't get me wrong I like him but he didn't even exam me at post op. kinda weird gues he is just that busy .

You may be lactose intolerate, may want to get off any milk products

I used Dr Roller to but live in Missouri about 52 miles away from Fayetteville

ok, i am at stage 3 soft foods, lean meats, chicken, no raw veggies, i can have bananas, doctor said not to eat the FF refried beans because of the calories, He said calorie intake is most important, not to worry about sugar free or fat free stuff, just worry about calories. So i can have eggs, and tuna salad, just ate a 1/2 of a small size chili from wendys, it was yum yum. He blamed my big bruise on the blood thinner they gave me in the hospital. I asked about my legs being weak, and he said that also happens to alot because of being on such a restricted diet. I cant wait to boil me some chicken, I season it with soul food seasoning, and its good. I would love some good turkey necks, juicy dark meat. Nut said I can also have fiber now, thats good. They said no raw veggies, I guess that means I can have my collard greens and purple hull peas, yumm. Oh yes I will make my corn bread, but only eat a smidge of it. lol As james brown sings. I feel good, nanana, I knew that I would now lol

I am at my post op appt. at preop i was 289 i am now at 267, they say thats good. Going to tell the doctor about my huge bruise i had and the weak legs.

I went grocery shopping today was going to buy yogurt looked at every brand and type and the carbs and sugars are too much. Didn't get any of them. Sticking with my jello
