No not fake! Not sure what u mean by troll either. Is that meant to be offensive?!! My concerns r true n I thought this forum was for people that wanted to reach out for help, support n to learn from others who have same or similar concerns, questions or experiences.

What about Beano or GasX.

Need some mushy food phase ideas. I know about eggs, tuna, salmon, yogurt, cottage cheese but looking for some other ideas.

I’m 6wks post op n 3 wks into mushy stage of food. I’m worried. They said only eat 1/4 cup=2oz but last night I was able to eat 8.7oz. I ate the entire Real Good pepperoni pizza that has the chicken breast as the crust. It’s a small personal size but after the surgery I wouldn’t think that I should be able to eat the entire pizza. Maybe 1/4 of it but not whole thing. I was able to eat it without any discomfort. I’ve stopped losing weight too. I haven’t lost anything in 2 wks. I’m starting my step aerobic routine n resistance bands for strength training tomorrow but I’m concerned more about the amount I can eat n wonder if I’m doing something wrong or if I’ve stretched my pouch out already.

Thks. My husband wants me to try a support group. I’m going Thursday after work but I’m getting better. I made dinner for 1st time since surgery for my family last night. I figured the trick. I ate my dinner before I started cooking. I felt myself. Now I’m dealing w a 1 week stall didn’t expect it this soon but I’m starting my exercises n weights this week now that I’m 6 wks post op. I’m sure that will break it. I’ve also noticed my skin isn’t firm anymore. It’s softer n squeashy. Although I was big I had a lot of firmnessnow that gone so I’ve got to begin weight lifting to firm it back up some. I’m also doing a body skin routine to help like using coconut oil wash oil n body scrub to side in firming my skin. I’m also using Nivea’s firming products. I got my resistance ropes last weekend n will start using those tonight.

Can u mix that in water with no taste?

Thks for input.

I’m starting to do this now. I just thought it was me. Glad to hear others r going through it. To stop I keep saying yo myself that I don’t want to go backwards.

Wow I’m 4 wks post n feeling the same way. Like what did I do but I know that these feelings will pass. Food was a big party of my life n social life now I feel like I’m lost. I don’t even want to cook for my family for fear I’ll flip back into being a foodie. I eat at my desk at work n go straight to my room when I get home. I don’t interact w my young son or husband. Not sure what to do.

Love the feedback. Smile on my face. Just what I needed to here. Thks.

I’m 4 wks post op n I’m always hungry now. I’m craving hot dogs, burgers n fries. I feel ashamed when I indulge even if it’s a few bites. Any suggestions on how to stop these cravings or on how I can stay full. I have 60 g protein daily n shakes n protein w breakfast lunch n dinner n I’m still hungry. I also can eat more than 1/4 cup of food. I can eat almost a 1/2 cup. That doesn’t seem normal. I’m ashamed.
