Can you eat soft food yet? I can't tolerate any of the shakes-- they make my face sweat and then I have to run to the bathroom. I do fine with plain milk' date=' but not the shakes.

I am getting a lot of protein from soft turkey meatballs, soft fish, chicken, hummus, custards.[/quote']

No I'm on puree foods until April 1st

During purée I made chicken tenders in crock pot with cream of mushroom soup--2 cans--and some fresh mushrooms and carrots. Cooked it for 5 hours on low. My family loved them over potatoes and I puréed mine in blender. Not bad. The world according to egg face blog has some great recipes for puréed foods. I also ate a lot if puréed soup.

At long last I am passing gas...please let me go home today!!!

So I've been on oral pain medications since early yesterday. About 20 minutes after I got a dose late this morning I got dizzy' date=' queasy, clammy, thought I was going to puke and pass out. Got some Zofran which helped queasy a bit but still felt like hell for a couple hours....almost had to be the pain medication. Lord I hope I'm not one that dumps on every thing they eat....that would suck!!![/quote']

Just thought I would update cardiac visit went ok yesterday dr reduced 1 of my meds to see if it would stop the dizzy light headed felling and said in 6 weeks have to go back to hospital to stop and restart my heart to get a regular heart beat scary but he said after that I should fell really good and a boost of energy I sure hope so. Food is going ok just not hungry who would have thought a string cheese or yogurt would be a meal but no trouble getting my protein in still not 64 oz liquids but getting closer. Hope everyone's doing good OH as of Tuesday I'm down a total of 64 lbs

So I'm having issues with my protein drinks... Yesterday I tried my chocolate flavored whey drink with PB2 and I got sick...didn't throw up thank goodness' date=' but it knocked me out of commission for the whole day. I was wondering when the time comes has anyone had protein bars instead of the powder...I just can't handle the drinks. They're like torture to me.[/quote']

I do bars instead of drinks. I use pure protein and power crunch bars low sugar and high protein....

No I went into a-fib the day after my surgery and I was on Coumadin for blood clots before surgery and had to do a bridge with Levonix shots before and after surgery but I had another problem a week after surgery I had fluid and bleeding in my stomach so had to stop Coumadin & Levonix and my heart beat and rate are not regular beat

They are putting me in the hospital hopefully outpatient and stop my heart and restart it to hopefully go to a normal rhythm

Sounds like an EPS or Cardioversion procedure... You will do fine and feel so much better:-)

So after trying on 4 shirts before dinner Tuesday I've decided this weekend I am putting an old laundry basket in my closet, if I try something on and it looks frumpy it goes in the basket to donate....curious how quickly the closet will get cleaned out and 'force' me to purchase more clothes!
