Hi. Did anyone else skip a period after surgery? I never got mine this month and I am wondering if it is related. I am not pregnant for sure for sure. Surgery was June 27th.

Mine is named Pearl... And recently she has been a fussy little b*tch.... :-/ ah well.

I have only lost 14 lbs since my surgery. I will be a month post op on Thursday. I am feeling very frustrated. I came home from the hospital at 324. I'm at 306 this morning. I lost more on the 2 week liquid diet per-op than I have in a month after. Depressing.

I ate 5 lean cuisine Thai chicken rolls and 1 graham cracker. It didn't seem like much when I was eating, but now thinking about it seems like a lot. I don't feel hungry or full ever. :-/ frustrating.

I got 10 out! They smelled so good baking! Can't wait to try one tomorrow after they cool!

Saw my NUT today and got a good review! Down 29.2 lbs according to her records. 3 weeks post op plus 2 weeks preop liquid diet. I feel like it should be more, but not complaining (much!) Got cleared for most general food! Just no steak, raw tough veggies, or popcorn/seeds... So excited to eat something crispy or crunchy!!! Done with the mush!!! Yay!

Thanks for sharing! This is great! I see my dietician tomorrow and I am going to ask her if I can have this yet! I know it's not bread bread, but I'm not approved to have "bread" yet so... But this looks and sounds fantastic!

I'm about 2.5 weeks out and not only have I stalled, I actually gained back almost 2 lbs. have had a lot of stress and feeling awful about gaining. I have been getting in 60 gr of protein a day. Haven't had trouble with any food. I am having 3 meals 1/4 c and 3 "snacks" a day. Seems like a lot more than everyone else. Usually 500-900 cals depending on what I choose. So frustrated. :-/

I also heard that you don't retain enough nutrients if you drink too soon after because the fluids prevent the absorption.

I got cleared to the next diet stage!!! Scrambled egg with cheese! But I couldn't finish it...

Speaking of water, I have been SO THIRSTY today. I just want to guzzle and guzzle but I am not feeling satisfied. I am 10 days post op... Anyone else get this way??? I know I am doing more than an oz every 15 mins but I can't help it! No issues so far as far as pain or discomfort.

I can't wait to have watermelon again! It's my favorite!!!

Jumping the gun a little... I made chicken breast in the crock pot for my husband... Just plain. I put a little in the grinder with a bunch of fat free gravy and a dash of skim milk... Not supposed to have puréed until maybe Tuesday, but I am SO TIRED of pudding and yogurt!!! Here's to hoping I am not gonna have big issues!!!

I heard this was a good idea, but do you know why?

Just spent the last two days in the hospital bc my husband had an accident with a handgun misfiring and shot himself in the leg shattering his tibia... I think I was pushing myself a little harder than I should have been before this happened and now I am trying to take care of me and now him as well. I am so emotional and exhausted right now I have cried and cried. I had all my surgery planned out and this happens and I just don't feel strong enough. Ugh. Sorry to vent. I am just having a huge pity party right here.... I am thankful though that all he has is a hole in his leg and a broken bone. The situation could have been SO SO much worse... And I am thankful and terrified he came home today. I can sleep in my own bed and not that awful hospital pullout...

Feeling so sick. Got in two 25 minute walks but less than one protein shake. Still burping the taste of soup I ate early yesterday. I am miserable. I also got sick after eating 1/3 a cup of a different soup today but no food actually came up. Any suggestions? Does it sound like I am blocked? This kinda sucks... Only 6 days post op.

I ate some blenderized soup for lunch yesterday and I am still burping it up. I'm only a week out from surgery and this is awful. First thing I have had trouble with. Not looking forward to solid food at the moment...

I am walking about 30 mins twice a day. I don't judge how far I go, I just try to keep moving that long. Yesterday was the only day I didn't get in an hour. I am one week post op tomorrow.

I was wondering about feet! Did you go down any shoe sizes? I am hopeful, I usually wear a 12 but would be thrilled to be able to shop the 10's!!!

Anyone else wake up in the middle of the night all burpy? This is dumb... Lol I should be peacefully sleeping and healing and here it is, 330 in the morning and I am laying awake burping my little heart out. **sigh**

I am pretty sure you can have any clear juice under 20 cals per serving. I have found minute maid has a couple of flavors in the refrigerator section at my Walmart. Also, ocean spray makes diet juices like cran-grape etc that were a nice change up. The only broth I could make it through was the beef bullion cubes and after two weeks of that I will be glad to never see it again.

Me too. I am 5 days post op. I accidentally had 2 oz of regular grape juice last night and was so terrified I was going to have dumping. I was very tired today too. First time since I left the hospital. I have been on just full liquids since Friday afternoon.
