Wow, will I ever?

Will I ever be able to eat food like everyone else here seems to?

How do you get your calories in? Especially if you are doing lowfat stuff. I am struggling just to get in 500 calories. Some of you talk about eating 1000 per day. I thought we were supposed to eat 3 meals a day and a planned snack. If we are only supposed to be able to eat a cup full of food at a time how is it possible to get all the calories in? Seems to me I'll barely be able to get the Protein in. Maybe with solid food it is easier to get the calories.

Definitely easier when you move on to mushies and solids. In fact, I get in about 1,300 calories a day and as much as 1,800 if I'm not careful. As far as the Protein goes, are you drinking Isopure? It's a great source of protein - 40 grams in a 20 oz serving - and no carbs.

Good luck.

Yes. Give it time. I still can't eat bread or anything like bread. I also avoid steaks and things like that. I just had my first fill so I am just experimenting at this point. You will figure out what you can eat.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
