Topic: RE: Lettuce - I miss it, when can I have it?
My doc says I can have them on the 23rd (8 weeks out). I must confess I had 1/4 of a Wendy's salad today ... it was delish! Everything sat well and didn't make me sick! Every NUT/Dr. is different, so I would get ahold of your NUT and see what she says!

Topic: RE: Meals/snacks
I eat about 6 small round tostitos chips with salsa for a snack and I peel the skin off the grapes and have a few of those as well.
Soup is a good one....
I eat oatmeal for breakfast...or yogurt...
I don't pound the protein like everyone else because a week after surgery I had a massive gout attack in both feet (still ongoing, but getting better) couldn't walk at all for 3 1/2 weeks. So the protein I get is from the food I eat and absolutely no supplements. so I probably get 1/4 of what everyone else is doing for protein.
I'm dying for a salad and some toast!

Topic: RE: Meals/snacks
I have tried an english muffin and was able to eat about 1/3 of a half and was full. The time I tried a little pasta that didn't go so well so I am staying away from that for now. I eat a lot of chicken, turkey, just started eating some pork. I usually eat an egg with some cheese for breakfast (need to see if yogurt will work), then turkey chili or fat free refried beans for lunch with some AnyWhey added into it for extra protein, dinner depends on how I am feeling it will either be a shake or something small since I try to eat about 4 meals a day. The sandwhich meat didn't work so well for me but that was a couple weeks back so I will try that again. As for snacks I was a terrible grazer before surgery so I try to stay away from them, but I hear that jerky is a good one as you can always have it with you. I recently started eating about 3-4 Wheat Thins (reduced fat) and that way I get a salty fix and get full at the same time. Then as always lots of water. I may add in a Super Whey Protein shot if needed or just to make sure that I get all my protein and that will also get rid of any hunger I think I may have.
But it sounds like you are doing great!!!

Topic: RE: RETURNING TO WORK
I had LAP RNY . When i went for my 1week check up the doctor said i could go back to work whenever i felt like it. Since that was my first day up,showered,dressed and in a car for 2hrs i told him i would wait and see how i felt at my 2week check up. My boss really did need me to come back to work so i went back before i was ready. I took a few days off before my surgery (So like Jan 17Th,,,surgery was Jan 19Th and i was back to work FEB. 5Th.) I work at a convenience store and so a lot of standing,lifting,bending & reaching, I really over did it the first few days and had to come home and take pain meds.
If you sit at a desk most of the day you really should not have any problems going back to work ASAP.
Best of luck!
