Hi, your situation sounds alot like mine was fter my surgery in 4/12. like you my new stomach did not tolerate eggs or tuna and chicken salad which i loved before surgery nearly made me gag, but you might need to experiment with different foods especially Protein Shakes slowly incorporating various regular foods. I started with oatmeal and worked my way up to ground beef and ground turkey. Pretty soon i could digest thingd=s well. nine months later I still yet have issues with certain especially in the morning. keep moving it all get better with time.

Used to cook for a family of 6, these days cook as little as possible. Lol! I do bake tilapia with a spoonful of salsa on top, wrapped in foil @ 350 for 25-30 minutes. Love Michaelangelo's chicken picatta (at my Walmart). Chick-Fil-A's grilled chicken nuggets. Greek yogurt for Breakfast. Frozen turkey meatballs. Outback Special 8 oz steak is a meal for 3+ days. In a pinch Pure Protein Protein Bars. food has totally lost it's appeal!

I did chicken breast in crockpot with rotel and light cream cheese. Shred the chicken once its nice and tender (easier to eat) eat alone, in small tortilla or in won ton wraps. Yumm!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
