Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Chickens tough...even for oldtimers. Try to sauce it.

Am I the only person having issues with chicken? It doesn't matter how it's cooked. My pouch is not having it!

I went thru that but it's better now. I agree use some type of sauce.

I tried a protein bar last night. Yum! Found a great on the go alternative. I'm going to Disney in April, so these will come in handy if I'm stuck in a line for too long. Lol

I can't eat chicken. I was wondering the same thing.

I can eat chicken fish or turkey. Beef isn't my thing.

Try using a meat tenderizer hammer on it. Then dip it in egg with Dijon musturd roll it in a little flour and bake. It is a lot tender that way

At theER. I went to my family Dr and they reviewed the urinalysis. Turns out no bladder infection. Just in case ran another, still not one. They called surgeons office and they to me to go to ER right away for testing. I'm scared they messed up my bladder.

I am so thirsty and tired of water and crystal light flavors and poweraide zero. they make me more thirsty.

no i dont want a soda pop but has to be something we can have

how about lemon water or fruit infused water, drop your.own fruit In the water or make ice cubes with fruit puree so when it melts it flavors your water.? Those are suggestions my nut gave me and I am diabetic so the sugar content should not be an.issue, and of course trying different teas those have been life savers

Wow I have just finished catching up on 10 pages of posts and all I can say is bless you all and praying for you. I have missed reading and knowing all that is going on. I am doing okay I guess. Protein still is an issue. I pretty much can eat anything. I have lost 72 lbs since December 4. I have been blessed not to have had many complications. I have recently have been experiencing a headache every time I eat. I am getting to the point to eat seems very nauseating. I have tried changing up foods, going back to the basics but it still happens. I am not sure what to do abut it. Any suggestions would be great.

I am very proud of all of the group! Gen hang in there and know a multitude of prayers are being lifted for your health to be completely restored. Prayers being said for all who are experiencing infection issues of any kind, may the antibiotics do there job and restore you back to good health.

For the new ones in the group welcome and welcome to the losers bench.

I also want to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day!
