Thank you both!!!!

I agree. I searched for hours and came up empty handed. I'm sure were aren't the only ones wanting to know/asking.

They all have a *taste* its deciding which one you can tolerate.

I drink the Atkin's Lift berry flavour sometimes. It's a bit sweet for me... but I just use it as a gap filler to meet my protein targets.

I don't have that option either

How do I do a status update? I tried searching but it just came up with an unanswered post. Thank you!

I got miso soup and wanton broth delivered. It was such a nice break from the cream soups.

I'm in puree for another week, I've been living off the same things everyday: Meal 1 - poached egg, 2.5 melba toast and 1/2 cup of applesauce Meal 2 - cottage cheese 2/3 cup Meal 3 - refried beans 2/3 cup (I blend it with salsa and cheese and greek yogurt for extra protein) Meal 4 - ricotta bake Meal 5 - greek yogurt Meal 6 - 2 laughing cow wedges with 6 whole week soda crackers I just can't stand the protein drinks anymore.

I have noticed a disruption with my sleep. And, I should be using my CPAP machine for my sleep apnea and I'm not. I've got to take better care of myself. I tell myself this every day. I've noticed a change in my feelings and I'm not sure what it is.. regret? mourning the old way of life? mourning food? I'm not sure what it is.. I just keep active, get my hydration in and hope that with time I'll feel a bit better about things.

That dent on your left side will disappear. It's an internal stitch holding your muscle etc. back together that they had to cut through. It will dissolve on its own. I've got one too - and I'm a month out today. I saw my surgeon Monday and it will *release* in time. Don't worry about it.

I'm almost four weeks out, so I haven't been through the different phases. Have you made an appointment to see your nut? I would definitely start there. Getting meals and snacks back, maybe a return to those basic things you learned after your surgery. And start small. Pick a slider food and decide you don't have room for it. Or better yet, revamp it and make a healthy version. Good luck!

@OutsideMatchInside that is what my surgeon said as well. I've suffered lately at midnight. It seems my pantorprazole wears off after 16 hours. They said I could double up but they gave me some other ideas as well. Such as sleeping on a wedge, and stopping eating/drinking at 8 am (a few hours before bed). I'm going to try these suggestions first.

I hope this doesn't happen to me, I'm just four weeks out. I'm hitting my protein targets, taking biotin and going to start Nioxin soon. I know all these measures won't stop it.. but it makes me feel better knowing I am trying lol

I always went for the tuna. Glad I did. That chicken, gross.

I've started puree and I'm almost 4 weeks post op. I am finding I feel discomfort/pressure after swallowing when I am *full* and using this as the benchmark to stop.
