I've been dying to eat refried Beans with melted cheese (after reading posts). Not all that cracked up to be but it's substance. Funny- I made half cup of beans with 1/4 cup cheese. Need my Protein because I refuse to eat any more whey protein powders after this nasty rash.

So at my follow up I'm still 14 pounds down all done in the first week - none in second. I'm ok with that. I feel like I've learned so much from these posts and my own research that I kinda know why and what to expect. So thank you veterans of VSG!!!

Ummmm - oh they found a bunch of cysts on my ovaries and apparently also a nodule which was biopsied and it did come back abnormal. Oh oh. Gotta see a Gynochologist. I don't have one. Well I do now after her recommendation. Again- not really worried.

Thank you all VSG-ers. This has been a wonderful journey. I had some very very minor bumps. I'm doing splendid. They were shocked today that when they pushed on my belly it want tender at all. They also took my staples out. I spazzed over that and they knew I would becuse I'm a freak. I didn't feel a thing! Hahahahahahahahahha. I crack myself up sometimes.

Ok- on to finish what I can of these beans and then I must wait 30 minutes to drink. That will take some getting used to.

2 more weeks off of work. Love my doctor! She has been so wonderful!

I'm glad you are now up to pured food. My post op diet states I have to be on liquid diet for 2 weeks. Not sure how I'm going to survive with Protein diet! It's so nasty!!

I was curious about what you said about the staples being removed. I thought that was permanent. Are you referring to another staples being placed on you?

I was on Clear liquids for 2 weeks post as well.

I had 4 staples from the incision on the right side where the stomach was pulled out.
