My book from my surgeon says lean soft moist meats. Then it says fish, poultry or pork. I assumed that moist fork cut roast beef would be ok. When I call my surgeon there is a vm and you leave a message and you don't hear back till the next business day.

I ate an ounce of roast beef that was soft and moist. However now my stomach kinda hurts and I get sharp stabby pains. I wonder if it's gas pains or something wrong. Oh and I'm 4 weeks and 3 days post op.

Miralax. I take it every other day.

No I haven't called her. It hasn't done it since I've been up today.

I'm 4 weeks today. I don't have a gallbladder. Had it removed in 2010. This doesn't feel like that either. It's sharp pains that come in waves and lasted 5 to 10 minutes. I can't wait to feel normal again and not freak over every twinge I get.

I had surgery on 04/13. In 4 weeks out today. This doesn't feel like gas.

Every now and then I will get a sharp pain in my upper abdomen. Anyone else had this and if so did you find out what it was. It doesn't happen when eating for drinking. It woke me up last night doing it.

I'm 4 weeks today post op and I still struggle and can't get the full 64 oz. The most I have gotten was 38 in one day along with what I ate plus 2 protein shakes. It's gotten better as I get further away from my surgery date.

I love Aldi. I get a lot of my groceries there.

I think it's normally the one near your belly button. My surgeon told me that's where she removed mine from.

I had to do a 2 week diet and I surprised the [emoji90] out of myself and didn't cheat. Don't get me wrong it was hard especially when my family was in the next room eating pizza. But I used the premier protein shakes and the syntrax nectar shakes (peach and grape are my faves) and drank lots of broth. I put lemon pepper in the chicken and Italian seasoning in the beef. Had lots of sugar free jello too. Just stick with it. It will go faster than you think. I cried the day before thinking I couldn't do it and I did. You got this!!! This is just a small snapshot in the larger picture.

I have the gassy part still. My son said I burp more than a baby. Lol

I think this is who mines through too. BariActiv the brand??

I have united and they pay for mine, well I paid a co-pay and I get them through a pharmacy my dr called them into.

Oh and my mood swings are CRAZY.

I am almost 4 weeks post op and still have buyers remorse at times. I really did the first 2 weeks. Now it's mostly because I'm so tired by afternoon and still have some soreness.

???

That's the only incision I have an issue with now. The others feel fine and Thursday will be my 4 week mark post op. I sneezed Sunday and thought someone stabbed me with a hot poker. I still can't sleep on my sides. I can lay on them a while but have to roll to my back.

How are you feeling??

Yeah!! I love eggs too I might just mix it in my eggs too. Lol

Has anyone eaten one on the soft food diet. I was thinking of getting one and mashing it and eating it with deli meat.

I tried eating chicken tortilla soup Saturday. It was a huge no go after 2 bites. I'll be 4 weeks out this Thursday. I hope it's a temp thing. I like my chicken tortilla soup and salsa.

I came home from the hospital weighing more then when I went in. It's probably fluid. Give it time. I lost 23 since surgery on 4/13.

Oh I'm so glad I read this. I'm 3 weeks post op too and I'm in the same boat. My belly button incision kills me and God help I sneeze. It feels like someone is ramming a hot poker through it when I do. I'm back at work but come 1pm it's like I hit a wall and am useless after that. I had my gallbladder out in 2010 and recovered quick and though that this would be similar. I sure had myself fooled.

I'm doing much better now. I'm back to work. Still struggling to drink enough and get all the protein in. I still have the stuck burp feeling but not as often as I did at first. My main issue now is constipation. But I've bought miralax and plan on taking it every other day. I move to soft foods tomorrow.
