one day at a time

I had nasty diarrhea for four days. Called the surgeon and was told to eat Greek yogurt (probiotics) it worked good luck

How far post op are you?

That's what I mean by only eating my protein. When I can only eat so little, I focus on protein.

I'm thinking of going to more frequent meals, but staying with small portions. Then I can eat the fruits

I am not Able to eat that much.

I find I only eat the protein, as I don't want added carbs

Oh no! I hope you guys start feeling better! Patience and time, remembering to sip. I hope it gets better. My thoughts are with you.

1 week off. I don't think I could have worked earlier. Too tired and needed to heal. I did go to college that first week and shopping at the mall of America, feeling ok. Everyone is different.

Have you tried watered down juice? I know I went 4-5 days, but it happened. I felt much better! Good luck and hopefully it happens for you soon.

2 weeks out, feels like forever And it still hurts like hell to wear jeans, pushing on that new stomach.

Had my surgery feb 22. Starting weight was 215. My current weight is 189. ( this is with my ore op loss) everyone is different. I read some lose a ton, then there's me... At a turtles pace.

My rule: 30 minutes before or after and yep, I follow this rule. I was just saying that yes, I do get hungry when it's time to eat. I did not at first, but do know.

I am two weeks out and trying the chicken/salsa/cream cheese. It has sounded so good since I read it! Hope it stays in.

I am two weeks out and get hungry. Starving actually. The thing is, if you get enough protein and fluids, one should eat only three times a day. And, they are VERY small meals.

Joe- I drink a lot. Right out of surgery I was given two glasses of ice chips and I ate them both. They then gave me broth. I am currently 12days post op and drinking fluids like crazy. My doc said its a good thing. Every one is different. Good luck!

Well said!

Would you believe... They believe it is strep, causing diarrhea. At the clinic now.

Yep! And tastes good I'm a coffee fanatic so I mix chocolate and coffee. Can mix to taste. Get all my protein in daily.

I add my protein to my decaf coffee. Tastes much better. Just make sure to mix protein with a little water and mix, before adding. Perfect way to get protein in.

Called the dr. Said to eat some plain Greek yogurt to increase probiotics. If I still have tomorrow to go in due to dehydration issues. He said it is not normal and is not dumping.
