Veggie Chili....sneaking the veggie protein in so my husband thinks its meat!

Veggie Chili....sneaking the veggie protein in so my husband thinks its meat!

I'm a big fan of unjury unflavored in everything.

Feel well...

Fantastic! Congratulations!

My surgery date was 4/29/13. HW 297 CW 253 GW160. I'm doing 80 g of protein a day and on soft foods. Still feeling my way as far as what I can eat. I'm walking everyday.

Congratulations!

Walked for 45 minutes today:(

Sounds like you had a great day!

So many things... I don't miss wondering if I'll fit in that chair I won't miss wondering if I have to buy an extra ticket when flying I won't miss my husband having to shave my lags I won't miss buying 2x clothes!

My doc said as soon a I feel up to it after two weeks.

I have asl sleep maintainance disorder and have been sleeping about three hours a night. Trazadone has always worked pretty well but since surgery they are not being absorbed correctly. ( I have to take six of then! ). Any ideas about other meds that work well? Ambien makes me do things I don't remember but there's got to be something that will work Of course Ill follow drs orders but I need suggestions.

I pureed any type of egg or chicken salad. Purred salsa with cottage cheese too.yummy!

Great!

I have tried it...brest idea!

My iv blew about six hours after sugery. They couldn't get a vein...and after 41/2 hours without pain meds, finally a pediatrics ward nurse got it. I'm a hard stick! Longest four hours of my life!

Feel better! Dehydration is nothing to fool with!

I'm a life long insomniac...I have a sleep disorder. Now my meds don't seem to work at all! Averaging 2-3 hours night....I have a call into my doc to see if maybe they're. Not absorbing right.and lack of sleep slows weight loss!

Yeah my nut came in and took over in the hospital, she was great. I think she personally inspected my meals after that first snafu

I posted this in another thread but I've heard that peanut butter mixed with chocolate protein powder tastes like reddest...not a chocolate fan but my support group raves about this. Mix until like playdoh. Had to be higher in fat but as a once in awhile treat...?

I drove...just no pain meds.1 week post op.

They gave me full sugar fruit juice in the hospital! My doctor threw a fit! Luckily I didn't drink it or I think I would have dumped.

I consult my doc constantly....they make the big bucks, right? I have a great team and they've been very supportive.They told me that if I could never eat anything, it may be a stricture, but since I can eat some of the time it's probably food choices or eating too fast. I just backed off to protein and soups for a couple days and then I'll try to introduce foods again slowly. But everyone should really consult their own doc.

Preying for you! Get better!

I drink constantly...100 oz day.my Dr isn't worried. Check with yours.
