I'm from Northwest Arkansas. Have you had weight loss surgery already?

[brokenangel84 35]

@@tiffikitty yes I had surgery Dec 15

[tiffikitty 2]

Wow so you are very fresh. How was you holiday with being right out of surgery? @@brokenangel84

[brokenangel84 35]

It was okay. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had the approval to start mush/soft foods on wed. So I was able to chop some ham n make it a puree and a little potato.

[tiffikitty 2]

Well that is good. Are you adjusting well to your new diet and everything?

[brokenangel84 35]

I'm doing good.

[tiffikitty 2]

Have you had any problems or concerns? I'm a little over 3 months out so I have somewhat fresh eyes

[brokenangel84 35]

I've been craving fried rice and milk.

[brokenangel84 35]

I'm worried I'm not getting enough Water in.

[tiffikitty 2]

From my experience, as long as you really are putting an effort into getting your Water in then you are doing good. Right after surgery my surgeon told me I was supposed to be taking in 40-60 grams of Protein from shakes and meals but even 3 months out now I haven't been able to take that much in. And as far as rice, I would be gentle with it when time comes for you to be able to have it. What surgery did you have?

I'm from Bentonville. But having my surgery in Wichita, KS Jan 28th.

[brokenangel84 35]

I had the gastric bypass. Yes I am having a hard time getting my Water n Protein both but I am trying to get as much as I can. Protein has gpttten to where I get sick at the thought of the drinks but I do what I can to drink them. I will if I ever decided to eat rice since surgery.. @stephir76, good luck on surgery.
