24 lbs lost prior to surgery
The tip I have heard over and over to prevent constipation is to use Benefiber EVERYDAY in your water, or protein shakes (or Fibersure). It is colorless and tasteless, but keeps up with the fiber and keeps things moving..

Wow, you are doing great! I haven't taken measurements.
I love cottage cheese too or i guess I should say my pouch does. I buy the 4 pack of 4 oz serving. Mix in a spoonful of sugar free strawberry preserves....yummy!
Scrambled egg beaters not such a big hit

Congrats! I just had my 2 week postop today. I am down 17 pounds. YEA! I'm not hungry either. But tonight we did go to Mexican restaurant to celebrate. My refried beans with cheese were devine...the couple spoonfuls I ate until I felt full.
I need to look up different ways to eat cottage cheese...I always had it with some jello growing up...I guess I could mix it with the sugar free kind as a dessert or snack.

Ok if he says you are safe to do that then I'm going to try it because I'm desperate here lol. I had to take that stuff before surgery for the bowel cleanse so I know how awful it is...but at least it worked!
Thanks again for the adivce

Topic: RE: first oh no
Hey Surgery Buddy, I think we all have been there, it seems that the only thing that I can eat without feeling like crap afterwards is sugar-Free Popsicles! Although I did try Tuna salad today and it didnt bother me but I dont think I like tuna anymore (and I used to love tuna LOL). There is going to be alot of trial and error with this surgery but we all just have to relearn our bodies and what it will tolerate.
So gooood Luck we will get through this just fine!!
