Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Knock on wood I haven't dumped either. And I've definitely eaten things I probably shouldn't have. Lucky I guess? Still not going to press my luck tho!

I haven't dumped either yet. I think I have a VERY healthy fear of it. I only have about 10-20 grams of sugar a day and usually its closer to the 10. My nut said that I need to stay below 15grams per meal but I'm very scared to dump so I'm taking it to the extreme.

Actually im right with all of you on the daily sugars, fats etc. read labels and follow the program.like its my new religion. and hit all my daily numbers

For the most part im ok 95% of the time with everything ive prepared. It is the great unknow that seems to come completly out of left field that gets me.

My list of things so far is short. hopefully it will stay that way

* fresh seedless watermelon

* 98% FAT FREE chicken soup( strained)

* Whole wheat toast ( 1/8 of a slice)

* Salad ....( this one is upsetting)

* Carb balanced soft tortillas

Still Grinin' and Thinin'.....

I agree that I think I have a healthy fear of dumping. I hope I continue to have that fear. I have eaten some things that are not on my list, but nothing with loads of sugar.

Is anyone else having trouble getting veggies in? I know the order is protein veggies carbs but I feel like I should be eating more veggies for some reason. Some days the only thing I have with vegetables is tomato sauce.

I have thought that as well. But really isn't that the old way of thinking...that we HAVE to eat a certain way, clean our plates...keep the five food groups etc? Remember that our bodies are now wired differently. We keep our calories waaaayyy low so just a bit of veggies is really all we need. Tonight I ate a cup of split pea soup...my pouch loved it and I did feel kinda good with the veggies in my bod while still getting 11 grams of protein.

I do understand, this is way I have to start over with liquid a few days after each stuck episode, to give your pouch a break from the sock...My last episode lasted 48 hours. Feel better.

Never thought about it this way. I guess I need to shake the old habits. I do always eat my protein first but I'm always so full after that that fitting veggies in is tricky. I have been eating chicken cesear salads like every other day but other then that its pretty much tomato sauce.

RJ - So glad to hear you are feeling better!! I have not experienced dumping yet, but I have not eaten anything that could potentially cause it either. I am sure my day is coming! Just another not so much fun part of this journey we are all on. At least we have some good folks to travel it with us!!

So today marks week 8 since my surgery and I was super hungry today. Missed breakfast because I had to take my son to the doctor & didn't plan well. So at lunch I ate a whole yogurt and two cheese sticks! I can't beleive I was able to eat the much in one sitting. My tummy was definitely full after that but not painfully full. Is that normal? Last night I could barely eat a small piece of flounder. Has anyone else had this experience?

I find I can eat a lot more soft foods like yogurt...I wouldn't worry.

When did you have surgery and how soon after did you eat lettuce? Salads are really one of the few things I really miss.

I had my surgery 6/5 and I started eating raw veggies last week. My nut said after 8 weeks I could start eating almost everything. Dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and stuff like that are still out if the question.
