Last night I tried my first food. I had a quarter cup of ricotta. I ate very slowly. Since then, through this morning, I have a pain in my back just to the left of my right 'wing'. Anybody else experience this? Is it something I shold be concerned about?

I had that for the first few times I ate real food. I was told it was due to post-operative swelling and went back to fluids for a day. All was fine after that.

Thanks. That is my plan. Obviously I'm not ready for anything heavier.

It is still there. I only had a couple of teaspoons of yogurt and some shakes today.

Put a call into Nina and ask her to have Dr. Campos call you.

It's OK today. May be gas.

What is funny right now. I usually drink Atkins shakes and have no problem at all.

Yesterday and today I added a scoop of Protein powder to it. It was a bit thick so I added some Water. I can hardly drink a swallow or two. It doesn't seem any thicker than the usual shake but I'm having to force it in. I'm going to put it away and have more later. I like adding the protein because it adds 22 g. protein to the 15 already in the drink.
