I have been enjoying "Shelly's Baked Ricotta", Buffalo chicken salad made with very finely chopped/shredded chicken, lite mayo, Frank's Hot Sauce and Blue cheese Sprinkles, and shredded beef in crock pot with sliced onions & green peppers with beef broth and soy sauce. I can only eat about 3 ounces max. I can drink with no limitations but put some real food in this new stomach and it is a whole new deal!

At 4 weeks I was still on soft food. I was eating deli turkey and deli chicken, cooked veggies, canned frit in juice, one Protein shake a day, sf popsicles, Peanut Butter, triscuits, wheat thins, eggs, 2% cheese. It was awesome after being on a pre-op diet and then Protein shakes post-op.

I can eat most any animal Protein, legume, cheese and eggs up to 4 ounces per meal. No dairy (yogurt, milk, almond milk, soy milk, sugar free pudding, cottage cheese, etc) until the six month mark. At five weeks 1/2C vegetables are added but no corn, peas, or potatoes. At six weeks 1/2C of fruit was added once a day but not to be consumed at the same meal as the vegetables. I can substitute another serving of 1/2C vegetables for the fruit if I wish but not the reverse. Have to take one Co-Q 10 and 12 grams of Fiber supplements per day plus a Bariatric Vitamin three times a day. 64 oz of Water of which at least 32 ounces is plain water with no added flavorings. Sugar free Popsicles, sugar free Jello are permitted. Absolutely no snacking on anything between meals and no caffeine or alcohol. Some limited carbs are added in when I reach 75% of my weight loss. However I was advised to try not to start back on carbs if I can.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
