Has anyone had the surgery alone?
I was alone, the staff was great which made it easy. Only needed an adult to pick me up, you'll do fine

what stage of eating are you? At 3 weeks I was still on full liquids. My doc said energy levels won't stabilize until about 6 mos out. You should talk with your doc and see what they say.

March 17th also, only issue I have with eating is my pouch is finicky. Sometimes I can eat 1/4 cup other times 3 or 4 bites. I'm down 31lbs from surgery date.

welcome to the group! Sorry you had a bad experience. I'm also 4 weeks out, and in a slight stall as well. My nut told us to expect it and to just keep following the plan and it will end. I mainly eat stage 2 baby food, soups and broths. Also fish,.if I eat chicken I also use broth to make it easier to go down (canned chicken). I've also made noodle free spaghetti using ground turkey and sugar free sauce. High protein and tastee. Good luck.

The Fickle Pouch
My doc has me on protonix, and I've had no issue with gas or heartburn.

All I know is that I dislike being in the bathroom with myself!! Can't wait until things "calms down" sheesh! Not enough air freshners or matches in the house. Sometimes I wish I couldn't go ! :-(

I think you were misinformed. Only thing I was told was to avoid the skin of fruit while in the purée stage. You should speak with your nutritionist.

hi! Welcome to the group. I. Would suggest you speak with your Dr. Or nutritionist about the fruit, seems everyone has a different program to follow. And don't worry about the weight, if you follow your instructions you will lose....good luck

I'm losing slow and steady, averaging a pound a day, no complaints here. Energy level still up and down but no worries still getting my walks in. Water seems to be a struggle with all of us but I'm sure it will get better. Most days I get my protein in but hitting purée food next week so I'm sure my amount will drop. Keep up the good work my fellow Marchies

Monday will be 4 weeks, finally move to purée. That doesn't sound like fun, glad you survived. Not looking forward to that but at least you know it works and to be more careful in the future.

Good to see all the "Marchies" doing so well. I'm 2 weeks out still on full liquids. I normally get my protein in by having 2 shakes a day along with adding unflavored powder to almost everything. Still upping my water even with the shakes I don't go #1 much so I know my water intake is lacking. Sip,sip,sip,..walk walk walk.
