Actually, before my surgery, I made a big pot of stew and spaghetti sauce and then froze them in individual vacuum sealed bags that she could just boil...I’m planning on puréeing the stew for dinner tonight!!

Haha! All I’d made her for dinner was two eggs with a tiny bit of ham in it. I knew it wasn’t enough food for her! I expected her to eat at least part of my eggs. She was just happy I’d cooked even if just that. Poor thing has been living on lean cuisine meals since my surgery because I’m the family cook and I refuse to cook what I can’t eat (and she has no expectation it should be otherwise).

I picked the 2 smallest eggs in the container...when you buy farm fresh they are all different sizes...I ate what felt comfortable and stopped, even though my head said that can’t really be all you are going to eat! My wife finished the rest. If she didn’t want it I would just give it to the dog.

But except for Protein, all the nutrients are in the yolks! That’s why I buy farm fresh eggs with those gorgeous orange yolks! Not to mention I think egg whites alone are gross...my tummy is adapting...not feeling as full now...

Just ate my first scrambled egg post op...they were tiny (farm fresh) so I made two...could only eat 1/2...it was delicious and I felt full so I stopped...now it’s a little heavy in my stomach but it is the first thing I’ve eaten that resembles solid food and I think my stomach is still trying to figure out what to do with it.

I came home and had a half a cup of cottage cheese, which is something I actually really enjoy. Now I’m going to make a scrambled egg for dinner! The cottage cheese sat well. Fingers crossed for the egg!!

Today I went for my three week postop visit with my surgeon. He is very pleased with my recovery and says I’m perfectly on target, as well as my 25 pound weight loss since 9/14!
I have now been cleared to advance to the purée stage which includes eggs, cottage cheese and other yummy things. I’m very excited. But most exciting is that since I’m getting all my Water in easily, I have permission to drink up to 2 cups of coffee each day!! Oh, how I have missed coffee!

10 months out and stomach rumbles and gurgles like crazy and #2 is almost always loose no matter what I eat. I hope this changes some.

this has been great education for me lol
we are ds oct. 17 wife & I both

Thanks! I thought that might be the case.

No runs for me but you would think there is a drumbeat contest in my belly at times with no regard for time of the day. I was so embarrassed in a meeting recently when the chairperson was talking and my stomach was competing on who gets loudest. I just kept a straight face and the stomach noise became the elephant in the room. Nobody said a thing but I am sure everyone heard it loud and clear. I am about 9 weeks post op.

I am over a year out and I definitely have the rumblies in my stomach all the time. Doesn't matter what I eat. It's just that things aren't digesting fully so there's a lot more gas than usual. Also, I would get wet wipes for the bathroom. There's a lot of pooping going on and those help to calm down a little bit.

You won't know what is normal for you until 1 year post-op at least.

Nothing that is happening to your body right now will be a new normal for you. It may have some similarities.

You maywant ant to steer clear of dairy for a few weeks. Loose stool is not uncommon but won't be a daily happening.
Rumbling stomachs are totally normal. I named my stomach George of the Jungle. It gets better. Hang in there

Before I had my surgery, I never had to get up to use the bathroom unless it was to go #1. Now, it's pretty normal that I'm woken up for more serious bathroom business (last night, for example). I think it will always be this way, and I'm four months out. My stomach used to growl really loud when I ate, but now it hardly ever does that. Occasionally, I'll have to burp after my first bite for some reason. One thing I thought was weird is that I only lost 8 pounds this past month, but I lost a full two inches off my stomach and thighs, and I haven't exercised as much as I did last month.

LOL! Way to find a silver lining! I didn't have a problem when I was eating one shake a day before surgery....things have calmed down considerably since the original post...although I still have quite a bit of gas and it's still pretty bad but either it is less awful or I've become used to the new smell...guess You'd have to ask my wife! I'm sure it will change again as I reintroduce food to my system but whether it will get better or worse remains to be seen!

Haha! Yes. It does feel good when it releases!

Oh man, me2!!! Let me know how you like them! I think Premier Protein or The World According to Eggface actually has a recipe for them. I just poured the drink in the molds and they worked well enough...you know?
