Ok friends ...I need to vent a minute. My pouch is finicky. Only getting 40-60g of protein. Some days less. Not enjoying protein shakes. They make me want to hurl. Anyone ever go to a whole food place and see what they have for protein? I'm desperate. My creatinine is low and that can indicate a protein deficiency. Aaarruuggggh! -

You sure did make the right decision gals...you know the saying "be patient, be kind" start with yourself. This is a huge change for all of us. Sometimes I think it's more emotional change than physical. We are here for you. It will get better. Xoxo -

Anyone out there juicing or blending? I'm not really getting anything other than protien...so I bought a nutribullet extractor. Once a day I blend kale, spinach, carrots, banana, apple, strawberries and blackberries with protien powder and water to get some other micro nutrients I may be lacking. Just a thought. It also emulsifies all of it so you are getting the fiber. -

If you haven't had any solids no worries yet...but later remember benefiber is our friend. Molly turned me onto it and it's fab. -

Hi all...I'm having a bit of emotional turmoil. Only down 22.5 not including the 6.5 I gained in the hospital. (Surg 10/2) I want it to go a bit faster. Bleh. But I am trying fork tender things. Some agree with my pouch...others don't. I was able to do 1/3 of a wendys small chili for lunch. Soooofreaking happy to have to chew my food!!! We are all losers now, so congratulations! Love to all. -

For the ladies that are nervous about "life after "....this is a huge step for you. You are beginning a new journey and it's normal to be unsure. You may be in pain...it's treatable. You may have days you mourn your old favorite food, but you will not mourn the shedding of the weight that has held you back for so long. Celebrate your courage and know you are beautiful. God bless and good luck!.......Katie -

I indulge in a cup of coffee in the a.m. and put the protein hot cocoa in it....instant mocha! And haven't had a second during the day but I guess I should start. It's just so stinking easy to forget to eat when you're not hungry. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I love this group!! -

Ok, so I am 2.5 weeks out and trying my damndest to get at least 60 grams of protein...but today I only ate 256 calories. And 40 gm of protein. I'm just not hungry. And I have all the energy in the world. Cleaned and rearranged today. And tidbits of advice from the vets? And by the way 18.5 lbs down -

Prayers for all of the surgeries tomorrow. We are waiting here on the bench for you cheering. My doc said 2 weeks liq. 2 pureed. 2 soft then real food. I can't stand not chewing puree makes me want to hurl. So I am slowly trying fork tender things, chewing them into paste and going super slow. No problems yet. Thank goodness. -

So this a.m. was down 16 lbs. Feeling very happy. Tolerating eggs, pureed soups including chili (either I'm brave or stupid) and peanut butter from spoon. Grateful to Molly for mentioning benefiber. How are the recent losers feeling? I hope well. -

I have 6 sites. The only one that has bothered me at all is the larger one over my liver area. The area all around there was tender for quite a while. I saw my pcp Monday he said all looks good...and gastroenterologist today...also said good. See surgeon for first time on nov. 6th -
