  1. I enter mine into my fitness pal..... all you have to know then is about how much of a serving you ate and put it in, you have the option to change how many servings or partial servings and you can change the unit of measure from once to cups or what ever you need

  7. One of the things my son and I did when we wanted something sweet was make sugar free pudding and add our protein powder to it (one scoop of powder per box of jello).....it was eating a treat but also getting protein at the same time

  9. My doctor put my son and I on colace stool softener....that seemed to work well for us and it's an over the counter medicine
  10. I don't know that anything g will not sit well with you because technically it all should be fine The only problem is it will be very hard to find out what you can or cannot tolerate if it's all mixed together like that.
  11. Im 8 weeks out today. I feel like I slept more in the first 2 weeks than I was awake. After that I just did a little more each day until I felt human again... I have been back to work for 3 weeks now and feel fine.

  16. How are all the September people doing??? I hope all has gone well
  17. I had the same thing with my husband through the whole process. I finally told ho. I wasn't doing it for him I was doing it for me and found outside support. It's hard but it can be done. luckily my kids are older and we're there to help me also. Good luck with your surgery
  18. Good luck on the surgeries being done today. My prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery
  19. I have been on regular food no seeds,beans or nuts since 3 weeks post op. Haven't really had any problems except one time when I tried to eat a bananna. I thought I was going to die from the pain I my stomach. The Dr's office told me to wait and try again later and said with chicken to eat less and thighs because it's more moist and be sure to remove the skin. Other than that I really haven't had problems except not getting my lunch soon enough after I went back to work, so that made me sick. I had to get a note from the dr. So I could take 1st lunch. All in all doing good at 5 weeks out.
  20. When I was on the pureed diet a day wanted something for a treat I made sugar free chocolate pudding with 1%milk and put my protein powder in it.....doesn't change the taste and gets some of your protein down also
  21. Just over 5 weeks now. Feeling great and went back to work last week. Still working on getting all my protein and fluids in, but they gets a little easier every day
  22. Congrats..... my son and I are 12 days out......post op appointment was today. All is good we get to move to soft foods and we can quit crushing our pills which is awesome because that was horrible. Any way good luck to all who are about to take this step to better your life it's definitely worth it.
  23. So how are the early august surgeries doing?? My son and I are getting better day by day. For those further out how long did it take you to get at least most of the protein in because it seems really really hard right now.
  24. @@ShayB78 yes I'm on purred foods. I had to show that I could tolerate purred food in order to be released from the hospital
