I am a nurse and that is common for iron is black stools and like the last reply it does make you constipated, you should take a stool softner everyday. stool softners do not make you go it makes it easier to go.

Topic: RE: March postops, what you eating?

Hi~
My surgery was March 9th and I just had my follow up visit yesterday. I am allowed three 'meals' per day which consist of 2TBSP of protien and a side which is 1 tsp of veggies. I can eat FF refried beans, egg salad, lowfat cottage cheese, high protein mashed pototates.

I am having such a hard time getting all of my liquids in. I don't think I'm hitting the 60-70 grams of protien yet either. This is harder than i thought getting all of your protien in for the day. I am so tired of the protien shakes!

My second day home was the worst - it was my twins' 10th birthday so there was cake and pizza. Thought I would die. I had to leave the room. Not a super happy day here.

Another one simply on full liquids til the end of the month. At this point, I am drinking protein shakes, s/f pudding (I don't want to see Jello anymore after 3 days of it in hospital), yogurt and that's it for now. I did make a chocolate with banana shake today - was at least a nice change from the usual chocolate shake.

I really am looking forward to some purees - apple sauce and mashed potatoes sound soooooo good right now.

Day before I was on totally clear liquids and at noon I had to take 2 Dulcolax pills. Worked like mad here and there was NOTHING in the tank by the time surgery happened the next day.
