I've been trying to eat more of a variety too. The first time I tried pasta my pouch reaction was projectile vomiting. Since then I can eat about a quarter cup in soup or with sauce. Meat doesn't sit well with me so I've been eating beans, low fat dairy, high protein cereal, and a large selection of cheeses melted on vegetables and soups to get in my protein. I never found a protein shake I liked and I can't face another protein bar. I bought some tortilla chips today and tomorrow plan to make nachos with refried beans and cheese mixed with salsa. Seven chips have 60 calories and four grams of protein. Topped with 1/2 cup rb & 1/4 cup cheese it should give me 20 grams of protein for a meal.

I have had no major troubles to date, but am REALLY glad that there is nothing major wrong with you. ulcers can be managable. keep up the good work. i have lost 98lbs so far. I still have trouble keeping some foods down, but not having surgery complications. hope you are feeling better.

Anita, Do you have problems with all eggs. I heard alot of people say they couldn't eat hard boiled because they were rubbery. I have no problems with eggs but everything must not be dry. See you lighter. Joanne

Mendy, I heard the same thing. They said buy filet migeon. It is worth the price for the small amount you can eat. Let's face it , we are worth it ourselfs. Thanks for the ideals. All are welcome and appreciated. See you lighter. Joanne
