That is hard. I say try some baked flaky fish if you can that was on my soft diet. It's funny how each nutritionist and surgeon have different requirements. I was one week each. Liquid' date=' soft, regular. All the best![/quote']

That's why we have to know our bodies and do what feels right and healthy. I heard someone asking the calories in a chicken nugget. With the tiny tummies we have....we should be putting the most healthy Protein in there as we can. :-)

My doc required the same' date=' but I almost went insane. I've tried a lil this and a ill that if the next stages and took it slow. I've done great and I feel great! Not chewing almost made me insane....really:-). I thought I would lose it if I couldn't bite into something. An egg white omelet never tasted so good. Lol[/quote']

OMG I love the egg white omelet hahaha, yea that's what I am doing, experimenting :)

Hi, I know and I'm proud of losing. I'm probably being hard on myself but maybe my stall will go away tomorrow. I haven't weighed myself today so I'll wait til Friday to check and hopefully be happy even if it just moves 1 or 2 lbs :)

I do too. 3 weeks out only 10 lbs as of today. My wellness doc told me to ensure I'm getting minimum 65 g's of Protein up to 100 if I can. I am having a hard time getting the calories in. He told me to ensure I watch all fats. In my extensive bloodworm GE does. He's a metabolic and hormonal doc. It's good to have that stuff checked. I learned a ton about why I was chubby. Anyway....I'm just happy I'm losing. Celebrate your wins. :-)

      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!!
