Today I'm on my own SCARED!!!!

Husband going back to work, kids will be in school and I'm a little scared. Not that I will try to eat, no way. Just worried about what if??? I am up early fixing my husband breakfast and the coffee pot is on and I think I will drink a cup today. I'm on full liquid diet and I am really sick of all the sweet stuff. pudding, jello, SFCIB, The cream soups have helped and so has the cottage cheese. Anyway I hope everyone has a great day and by the way I am driving today. Doctor said OK as long as I'm not using pain meds and I'm not. YEA!!!!!

Congratulations and you're going to do fine! You're not alone. All your friends here at AMOS are right beside you. So if you're tempted just turn around and you'll see us standing there shaking a finger at you. Peggy B.

I'm sick of the sweet stuff too, so I stay away from it. We can't even have cottage cheese or pudding till next week though! I envy you that cottage cheese, I would love a little texture right now! My doctor said coffee is ok, but you should try to avoid it now because of the fact that coffee is a diuretic and will make you lose water which means you'll have to drink even more to make up for it. Good luck with your appointment and remember that this phase will past, we can get through it! FOCUS ON THE GOAL!! A year from now this will all be a distant memory and you will be so happy and so healthy! HUGS, Vi

Thanks Vi. Hope you are doing good. I read where you are fighting the protein. I just wish I could get the water in. Thank goodness for the unjury which has 20grams per scoop. That is the only one I can use the others smell like baby formula and I can't get past the smell. So I drink 2 shakes with CIBF and that gets my protein in.

The only shake I like right now seems to be my Cappuccino Revival Soy Shakes. You might like it too since you sound like a coffee lover too (like me)! They don't have that gross soy taste, but today I started using Lactaid milk since regular milk didn't seem to agree with Oscar the Pouch. So much trial and error with the PICKY POUCH! I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to a scrambled egg or some COTTAGE CHEESE.... give me TEXTURE!! Vi

Hi Jane -- We were told by my doc that coffee erodes the pouch and staple line. Be careful. Sheryl

CAN YOU HAVE A CUP EVERY NOW & THEN OR IS COFFEE A NO-NO ALL TOGETHER, MS SHERYL? GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

On the full liquid diet I'm on I am allowed coffee tea ect. My dr did recommend caffine free. Also on the full liquid diet I am allowed purred scramble egg and cottage cheese. I started this stage , which is stage three on the third day and it goes to day 14. So I still have a week of this which is ok. But the coffee does taste great, thank god I didn't have to cut that out and I was never a big cream uses. Dawn you are getting really close. I was fine when I went to surgery, I was soooo ready. Big hugs and you are in my prayers.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MS JANE ... NEED THOSE HUGS & EPECIALLY YOUR PRAYERS! EVERYTHING ELSE SOUNDS GOOD EXCEPT THE COTTAGE CHEESE ... I CANNOT EVEN GET THAT NEAR MY NOSE NOW, SO I CAN IMAGINE WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE AFTER WLS. BUT, MOST OTHER THINGS ARE OK WITH ME. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
