@jill_lcardi i do understand your pain today is the first day i feel like me. I want eggs and i hate eggs lol. I really can't wait to get to the pureed due to the Protein isn't working for me I've tried 3 different kinds and i get the same results BATHROOM! !! i pray for some relief we knew this would not be easy but we hoped it would. Hang in there i did take a bite out of a french frie i chewed got the flavor then spit it out lol lol

It's not how many times you fall down, it's how many times you get up. Sounds to me like you just got up again. Congrats!

For me, I can eat thinned yogurt and cream or Tomato Soup. I have a hard time with shakes. I'm not sure if I drank to many before surgery and I'm just having a hard time getting them down. Everything makes me cramp. I hope your pouch starts feeling better soon! I broke down and cried like a baby the other day. I think I'm just tired of feeling bad...ya know?

well yesterday i take a frape after that. feel better when i drink Water. i think the crushed ice make somedifference.

[purrfctangel 239]

I'm so sorry for you who are struggling. I flavored my Water and i think that's been the biggest thing. I even had a couple tiny bits with my tiny silverware of deviled egg at dinner. Chewed the hell out of it. Hard to pass on bread and brownies but i keep thinking just get through right now and soon i can have satisfying substitutions. Keep at it ladies. Make the most of this honeymoon stage and focus on how awesome you will look and feel soon.

Hi All!

I'm checking in. I'll be two-weeks post-op tomorrow. I'm struggling a little with getting in Water and Protein. The past few days, I feel like I can only get in around three bites and boom, I'm full. I really don't want to get dehydrated so I always have a bottle of water or Isopure in my hand. I don't see the doctor again until 4/15 when I'll begin some meats and soft foods. My diet consists of Water, Isopure, a little yogurt, some scrambled eggs, and some baked ricotta for supper. I feel like I'm not getting enough of anything, really. But overall, I feel good, I'm not in a lot of pain. Today is my first day back to work and I'm taking it easy with a half-day. I feel like things use more energy now!
