    if you like buffalo chicken things i suggest some buffalo chicken won ton rolls. i baked chicken breast, shredded it, mixed some hot sauce or whatever you prefer in it then put a tiny bit on a won ton wrapper and sprinkled some bleu cheese crumbles in it then wrapped them up. i baked them at 395 but no certain time, i just checked them every few minutes until they looked toasted/crisp! so so good. i also have been making won ton pizzas. chipotle has also been really good, you can get a single taco and pick from it or a kids meal. very yummy and has sat in my stomach well.

    hello! im about 7 weeks post op and im not sure what my calorie intake should be. i see my surgeon in a week and will ask him as well but what was your calorie intake at this point and did your plan call for Snacks between meals? right now im trying to stay at 800 calories max with one snack between lunch and dinner but im still finding myself hungry throughout the day and would like to have a mid morning snack. i would love to hear anyones experience/input! thanks!

    i drink 40g of Protein a day, get the rest of protein in through my meals, plenty Water, and no more than 2oz of food at a time.

    every program is very different. i had iv pain meds, was in the hospital for 3 days, and only had Water trials and i needed to urinate a certain amount. i had a catheter for the rest of the day after i got out of surgery and the next day it was removed. it wasnt that bad, when removed it just felt like pressure. i wasnt allowed to put any of my clothes on besides changing undies until the day i was discharged. i totally overpacked and was so groggy i didnt even care to use anything i brought. undies, chapstick, and gas-x was my main staples. they sent me home with pill form pain meds but they were so tiny i could easily swallow them with a tiny sip of Water. i only needed them for one day of being home and then extra strength tylenol seemed to help much better actually. like i said, every program is way different! you will do great though, i wish you all the luck!

    at 3 weeks out i was only eating 2oz, soft Proteins, and my Protein drinks. i couldnt figure out if i was satisfied so i bought a food scale to get the exact 2oz of whatever i was eating. i tried toast and it sat so heavy in my stomach i dont think i will try it again for awhile. its strange they want you getting in so many calories. my surgeon only wanted 600-800 max at that stage. but every program is very different. you will get the hang of things!

    my surgery was 7/18, so im about 3 and a half wks post op! i have lost 33 pounds since then and have been very lucky recovery wise, no problems what so ever! i hope its the same for you, make sure to walk as much as possible, it helps SO much with releasing some of the gas. also if your nurses allow it, gas-x strips, some wont allow outside meds.

    it is so normal! i would vacuum the house several times just to keep busy, my boyfriend would get mad because if i couldnt sleep, id vacuum haha i also prepped last minute, but it helped get me through a day of anxiousness by running all the errands i needed. it will be okay, i promise you! once you wake up you will be so relieved and can start this new journey. i wish you so much luck, you will do great!
