Hi @camony. How are you doing post op? You are a week ahead of most of us on this thread.

Anyone have muscle cramps or spasms? When I stretch out my left foot my muscle lock up and I am getting a charle horse in the side of my ankle lower leg. It is so painful!, this just started tonight and the only way to make it stop is to get up and walk.

I get charley horses periodically before the surgery but nothing as of yet. Except the horsey who acts up everyday especially at feeding time.

Well good morning ya'll. I feel gross. I thought maybe 8 hours of sleep would make me feel way better after the bean episode last night. Nope. I'm feeling like I've got them stuck in my throat still. I'm going to hold off on them for a bit, along with anything else in its consistency. I've got my drinkable yogurts now. I'll add creamy Soups too; no chunks. Even though my plan allows for so much now, I think it much wiser to listen to my body. It's not ready.

I agree with listening to your body.

I think slow and steady wins the race. Try something new and if it doesn't work step back to what does then try it again later on. I am looking forward to creamy soups and cottage cheese next week.

Im glad you're okay. I ate cream of wheat thinking it would be ok the first day home and went down smoothly but i have to wait 2 more weeks. Boo hoo?. Pretty soon we will be partying with our soft foods swapping recipes with our water

@Newme17 did it go down? I am hoping you will be o.k. Sometimes it's great to throw caution to the wind no pun intended.

I'm pretty sure it went down. I'm having issues with the stuck in the throat feeling. Before I was hungry in the mornings, but today I am not. I am wondering if maybe it just didn't digest very well, or at all. Sitting in my little stomach. So I'm drinking just water right now. I am sticking to just water and protein shakes, drinkable yogurt today.

I did too, but this was so persistent. It was driving me nuts for a couple of hours last night. Every time I sat down it would start up.

My plan says I can have cream of wheat on week 4, but I think it is high carb. I am going to check because that sounds so yummy. I have to be careful how many carbs I consume because of my type 2 diabetes.

You don't have diabetes anymore, remember? CLAIM IT hon. But as always, listen to the medical advice. LOL

I never wanted so much in my life now it is sitting around waiting for me. Saying two weeks more and we can get together as before the surgery.

lol.. Can you tell I am reluctant to fully accept victory? Old habits die hard, and I have trained myself to always look at the carbs and fiber on labels.

I am super hopeful that I will eventually be able to include healthy complex carbs without spiking my blood sugar.

This morning my stomach is very gurgly ( is that even a word?) every time I sip. It doesn't hurt or anything it is just weird?

Just depends on how you tolerate them. I was told could have them during soft food phase

That's the word I was looking for after I ate the beans. Gurgling. I researched and it's quite normal. We are ok.

Did you try them then? If so, how did it go for you?

I'm hopeful for you too. Type 2 tends to go away with weight loss...very highly you'll have complex carbs again. ?
