I don't care for that either ! You would never k ow I was this picky for as big as I was ! LoL

Hello and welcome to the northeast Ohio thread !

Hi I am on the puréed soft foods diet and can not bring myself to eat the puréed meat ! I have never been a fan of tuna !! So essentially it's cottage cheese yogurt and sf pudding and applesauce over and over again ! I also love mashed potatoes but my Nut said not ok often as it would slow weight loss ! Today I tried Egg beaters with cheese Ugh not a fan !! Anyone else out there got any ideas ?

Hello everyone !! Just checking in my fellow Buckeyes !! How is everyone doing update please ! I had surgery the 4th I'm doing well ! On puréed foods and takin it day by day !

Ugh me too !!

I bet you are Southern ! I can't even imagine ! I can only pray for you! I'm so very sorry you are having to go thru this !

SimplySouthern !! Thoughts and prayers coming your way !! We are all pulling for you !!

I'm feeling good as well . Surgery was tues . The left one under the ribcage is a little sore still but everyday is feeling better ! I've been waiting for the shoe to drop persay because usually I'm the one who it will happen too ! My battle is mental ! I'm not hungry persay I miss food though !!

I am using the nectar chocolate truffle with soy milk and I like the taste !! Then I learned about PB2 which is powdered peanut butter that can be added too it and oh my made it better and more protein which is a bonus !

Hi everyone ! So nice to hear everyone is ok ! I had my surgery on the fourth and so far so good ! I have had very little issues knock on wood ! Upper left rib cage pain was a bit painful but everyday it gets better !! A little scared that when I follow the full liquid diet everything is ok ! I guess I'm scared its goin too good and that why aren't I feeling sick like others when they eat ? Not like I want to feel sick but afraid if there's boundaries I will eventually fall back Into old patterns !

I had my surgery tues and a couple of my incisions are very bruised others not so much ! Feeling well no pains meds since yesterday ! My challenge is boredom and mentally I'm doubting everything !

Hello everyone ! Surgery was Tuesday so far so good !!

Had surgery Tuesday feeling much better today !! Gas bubble and swollen stomach finally went down last night and that was a huge relief !! Not to mention being able to shower was a godsend !! Everything tolerable to this point !!

Hello everyone ! Day two post op ! Just got home from the hospital ! The pain was better than I thought ! Key it to get up an walk walk walk !! Im tolerating liquids well but don't feel hungry ! I was wondering how the pain pills would work because of mal absorption but I cut them in three pieces and took them about 15 minutes apart ! Thanks for support !!

Hello everyone !! I had surgery Tuesday an just got home from the hospital ! The pain was better than I thought it was gonna be ! Hard getting rest while at the hospital so im very happy to be at home and resting ! Not hungry at all but I'm drinking liquids an ice and tolerating it well !

Hi ISB they told me my ins would take aroun a month for approval and they came back two day later with an approval ! So it can happen quickly ! Keep in touch let us know ! Buckeyes need to stick together !!

Hi stellar !! How are you doin so far ? Any advice ?

Oh ok well lets keep In touch and if you have questions please feel free to ask ! I had to do 6 mos of dieting with all the tests !! Went fast though!! Then they told me the ins process would be a month plus long process and it was only two days !! So once you do everything it's here before you know it !!
