fIVE WEEKS POST-OP

I had a great surgeron Dr. Freeman. I had abd. surgery before so there was scar tissue. He was still willing and did do the Lap on me. My surgery went fine. I have been reading a lot of messages stating they are having trouble eating a lot of the food, they are trying. I am having the same problem. Only soft food at this point agree with me. However I was told by my Dr. it would take five or six months before most foods will be tolerated. So at this point I am going to try to get my protein first and eat what I can tolerate. Small frequent bites or meals and try to be patient. I do know other people who have had this surgery and they are allmost eating all the foods they ate before, including breads and sandwiches. So hang in there if and when thier is a new food tolerated please let us all know so all of us having this problem can maybe try a new food too, it may work for us. I have lost 29lb and feeling very good about that. I know it does get better.

Congrats on the loss. I will be 3 weeks out on Monday. I get soooooooo nauseous after I eat 1-2 teaspoons of food. I am drinking 100ounces of water, but , not getting nearly enough protein in. I do drink a protein shake each day, but they make me nauseous too. I do know this will get better, but when??!!?? LOL!! I'd like to stay in touch, since we are close on surgery dates. Thanks.
