  1. I am going to try Prilosec in am instead of Prevacid and adding Zantac later on in the day. Thinking that Probiotics may help too. Took a Zantac this pm.
  2. Took Prevacid for a year pre op now three weeks post op not working well. Already take two a day. Wonder ifI should switch to Prilosec, add Zantac? I have the sour feeling in my stomach and metal taste in mouth? It briefly gets better if I eat sometimes.
  3. I am at week three just eating until I am full and stop. Not measuring it all yet. Better to use a measuring cup or kitchen scale? Don't have one yet.
  4. My leftovers will be, too!
  5. Tried the Ricotta cheese Bake on the Eggface website. I am in the soft puréed stage. Was awesome, tastes like lasagna. Try it, like homemade... ESP for this phase of eating. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html?m=1 Sent from my iPhone
  6. Down 27 since surgery 10/08 and 43 since pre op journey. Woot. Back to work Monday
  7. Flintstone chewable with iron and calcium gummies. Still taking B12 shots but will need to start pills when done. Had to add fiber this week for regularity.
  8. This is my first Saturday weigh in. Surgery was 10/08. Today's weight 275. Down 27 since surgery, 43 pounds since pre op diet. We're on the way!
  9. You are eating a lot of carbs, they may me fueling that hunger. Try getting in more protein in. It will satisfy longer.
  10. Does not sound too bad, my doc says to purée or mash things well with a fork. How did it go?
  11. My NUT told me that water is heavier by itself than when mixed with something like crystal lite. Not sure how it effects the molecular weight, but that is one reason it is harder on the new stomach I was told. Also I hear it gets better as the stomach inflammation goes down.
  12. Tried the arctic freeze G2. It was a little sweet but better than most.
  13. Going to try some hot tea, can't wait for the water enjoyment to return with enjoyment again. Used to drink Teavana tea and liked it. No German rock sugar now though
  14. So proud of you. You look awesome!
