hoping for the best…

I feel ya… just when i think i have things down pat, i get thrown for a loop, lol… I'm currently stressing on the lack of variety in my foods. I am able to eat all foods and feel like i am always rushing and just grabbing the same ol things not good long term…

I'm doing really well. .. no more pain. .have not had any nausea what so ever

I am at a month post-op. I was stalled and my NUT told me I should trying to get 850-1000 calories a day. If I upped them, I would probably start losing again. I did and I did! Might want to eat just a little more if possible.

Thanks. This summer I fell in love with Vega One which has veggie protein. Have tubs in every flavor.
(My huge stock pile of supplies is definitely coming in handy. It's all by my bed and drives my hubby nuts.)

Think I'm getting crabby too. I'm also back to taking a laxative, which I don't understand. Everything was working fine until last week. I also can't seem to get full. I'm a hot mess. Lol

I'm also at a stand still. In fact the scale moved up 3 pounds but I blame it on Water that I'm drinking. I know I'm not going over my 600 calorie intake, do not sure what is going. I'm 3 weeks out since surgery and at 13 lost.

What is carb-flu? They just hooked me up to a IV and have me drinking a drink so the can do a CT scan.

I had lump n brusin under the skin too it hurted its starting to.go away tho Sent from my LGMS323 using Tapatalk

could you be hitting ketosis post-surgery as opposed to pre-surgery? Sounds like "carb flu", especially with the metallic taste in your mouth…

So post op appt went well. 22lbs down and advanced my diet. The pain and lump is bruising under the skin. She told me depending on the amount of manipulation can cause more pain. My skin is discolor end in that area.

I'm 8 days post op I was progressed to full liquids. I lost 14 lb since surgery. I know it's completley irrational i am worried about the calories I'm taking in from full liquids. I've tried a yogurt cream of wheat and butternut squash Soup as that is allowed. In my head I don't want to eat them because I'm afraid I won't lose weight. It's crazy cause I know I need new nutrition. It doesn't help that I have no appetite

I called the doctor he was not in nor was my advocate. I'm going to the hospital now the nausea is getting worse and I'm feeling weak.

I had a nasty taste in my mouth from about 3 days after surgery until I got moved to puréed foods on Monday. It has now gone away completely. It really made it hard to down those Protein Shakes and I even went a whole day without Protein because I was so sick. I was drinking Premeir shakes - which were fine before surgery, but switched over to Unjury unflavored powder and mixed it in my Soups. That got me through until I could try different puréed foods. Hopefully you can find some alternate ways to get around that sick feeling so you won't end up in the hospital. At my 2 week post op my doctor told me that bad smell and taste would go away. Two days later it is gone.
I agree with the other posters, though....it sure wouldn't hurt to call the office if you can't get anything down. Could get sick pretty quickly.

That is awesome, Edie! My scale must be broken

My doctor said if you get really sick off some thing new then go back to your liquids for 24 hours to give your time to rest. Hope this helps! !
The scale finally moved in the right direction today!!! Not much of a move but I'll take it!!!!

Oh I'm going to have to check those out. I know Powerade zero and Vitamin Water zero are sugar free. They have really great flavors and the Vitamin Water zeros have B Vitamins in them that may give you a little boost of energy.

It's sugar free. I hope so. I need electrolytes. Quite desperate.
