hey all! Thanks for all the great advise yall give on this forum. I truly appreciae it. My surgery was 4/30 and i am feeling alot better today. i stopped my pain meds 2 days ago since my hubby and kids went on a trip to vegas for my in-laws 35th anniversary party and i had to stay home by myself. i am having a realy hard time getting in my protein, i am lucky if i can drink enough water and decaf tea daily. i am trying to sip constantly but its so hard. but i am craving fish, has anyone tried fish yet? i was sent home on stage 3 but its so hard to eat. any advise would be awesome. i am 4'10 and started out at 201 and am now down to 186. and how do you become a member of the A-team it sounds like a good support group. Thank you all!!!!!!!
Welcome to the A-Team Toni!!! Glad you're feeling a bit better after surgery. It gets better with each new day so hang in there and stick to your doctor's orders! Can't say that I'm craving fish... but I have had a few other cravings like hot buttered popcorn.... mmmmmm!!! Ok, I better stop, my mouth is beginning to water! 
Cheers,
Lisa

Hey surgery buddy ! Mine was on 4/30 also. Congrats, sounds like your doing great. Can totally relate to not getting enough fluids in tho. Seems like I am constantly sipping but feel so full that by the end of the day I was barely finishing my 20 oz. I was only sent home on stage 1, go back to see dr today to get my JP drain out and will move up to stage 2 so unfortunately don't have much advice in that aspect. and yes you too are an a team member ! ~~Rona
I crave fried catfish, tuna fish, fried chicken, mealoaf, broccoli, and nearly anything else that I can't have. I hadmy surgery 4/30/07 also. I have incorporated tuna fish in my diet, now. I had one of those single 4oz. cups and added a little(1tsp.) light mayo, stir and eat. Tons of proteins in the Star Kist Albacore singles (21grams).
