I will have to check it out! I noticed you do a ricotta bake, its probably the same one I do! One of the first things I made when I could eat soft foods! I made homemade chili a couple of days ago, my normal recipe except leaner beef & no sausage. Ate 1/2 cups of it & had no problem! I do add a lot of beans to it. Tasted so good!!!

Glad your doing well! Just remember to take little tiny sips when you do get something to drink, I'm sure they will probably remind you.

Best of luck to our Oct. 27 friends! Praying for a good outcome & healing!! @@Culdee @@Lynn in va beach @@NinaB @@jjod @@TyTy120 @@Nancy1955 @@kimmy2477 @@Tip81

@@Gossamer Great news! Sounds like you are doing very well!!!

Monday's group Oct. 26 wishing you the best of luck!! We will be thinking about you! let us know how you do!! @@itstimealready & @@AnnainOK & @@tamywill & @@Mogwaicat & @ & @@Dar200 & @@drmeow !

Glad your doing well! Just do the best you can! I had 5 1oz cups, I would make up a shake & pour 2 for Protein shake & 3 for water, so I would get all in. Did this each hour 12 times a day. I made the shake 3 times a day, 2 with fat free lactose free milk (1 with unjury chocolate & 1 with unjury vanilla). & 1 with water (unjury chicken broth). The broth was the best for something savory. I had to do this for 2 weeks.

Hope your day back is not too bad!! Take it easy, you might surprise yourself how well you do!

@@whoahbabyy I have been having no problem at all eating, but today 15min. ago, I ate my 1/3 cup of ricotta & marinara sauce too fast, & while I didn't drink anything it felt kinda stuck. Funny I'm sitting here no pain but uncomfortable as I type. So now I know for sure don't drink to get it down. Thanks for the reminder & I won't be eating fast again!!!!

I couldn't do it! Not with a physically demanding job. I'm having trouble getting a walk in every day & I'm 17 days out. I think at least 3 weeks. Best of luck to you!

@@Tip81 Welcome!! I got you added!!

I'm having trouble with my water also, what I have been doing is adding unjury unflavored Protein powder to a 20oz Powerade zero. Then I drink bottled water to get the rest of my fluids in for the day. I didn't think about adding the unflavored to my propel that is a great idea! Do u like the unjury unflavored? I got a sample of Matrix and Jay Robb to try. I haven't tried any of the other's the unjury unflavored has 20 grams protein per scoop & seems to be ok. If you can find something that gives you more like what Jenaenae84 suggested you might try it.

@@sleevemylife I bet that was kinda scary, you were probably dehydrated & needed a little more protein. I'm trying to get more fluids in, feeling the same way when I walk & the fluids are always what I'm low in.

Great thread!! Great incentive for the loss of weight!!!!

I was my Dr's 1st patient & had to check in at 5am. I went to bed early knowing I had to get up at 2:30am to drive to the hospital. It didn't work, I didn't sleep at all!! I think I would have been better off to have gone to sleep at my regular time knowing I would get limited sleep than none. Needless to say I only slept 2 hrs. in the hospital so by the time I got home I was exhausted. My Doctor said being 1st is a good thing, probably you won't be held up by any delays of other surgery's & you won't have to wait being thirsty. I was out of the hospital by 11:00am the next day.

@@thbrown223 My Doctor wanted me to start walking at least 30 min. & work up a sweat, I haven't been able to do it yet because I just get tired after about 20min. I'm getting my protein in 60gr. But not sure if I'am getting all my fluids. I'm 16 days out & have only lost 5 lbs so your weight loss is great!!! You may have had a little anxiety or just not getting enough fluids. Make sure your getting your protein. If it happens again I think I would call your Dr.

Hi Kimmy, welcome to our group!!! We got you added to our list!!

Oh goodness! Well hopefully everything will go well with your surgery! It won't be long & you will be healing from it all!

There's some of you we haven't heard from in awhile, how are you doing?

Glad your surgery went smooth! But feel bad your in pain!!!! Darn!! That gas can be something else! Sending hugs & prayers that nothing more is going on!!!!!

I've heard from a lot of young mother's who are having the same problem with their little ones, she probably missed you while you were in the hospital! Sorry your having trouble with pain, do you think its the gas they pump inside of you? It does take a while to get rid of. The only thing that seemed to help me is the walking & I got some gas x strips which help with the other kind of gas. I think people who have a hernia repair have a little more pain with their surgery sometimes. Sending you hugs & prayers that you will get to feeling better soon!

Yes, it is very good!! I added a scoop of unjury unflavored protein to it to make a meal, not too bad!!! I like the fruit punch!

Great job on the weight loss!! Sounds like you are moving along!!! Glad the drain hole wasn't major, I didn't have one with my surgery.

Best of luck to you today!!!! I added you to our list!!!! Let us know how you are doing!!!
