Want real food !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, I am bad I am so tired of full liquids I want eggs. I still have another week in a half on liquiids till soft food. It is really hard to get in protein cause it tastes sooooooooooo yucky anyway I fix it, maybe if I use a little less and work my way into it. Other than wanting real food I feel pretty good I will be 2 weeks post-op monday and lost 13 pounds so I can't complain. Soups are my saving grace without the different soups I would go mad. Tonight i'm gonna have hot chocolate with carnation sugar free mix yum. Thanks for letting me whine. Marcey

Hi Marcey! I know what you mean -- I am craving bread. Hot, soft, bread. My doc lets us drink Carnation Instant Breakfast for protein. Try it -- it's so much better than those crappy drinks. Hugs! SHeryl

IS THAT THE BLUE LABEL, LOW-CARB ONE? IF SO, THAT TASTES PRETTY GOOD, MS SHERYL.

MY FAVORITE SOURCES OF PROTEIN ARE THE PUDDINGS ... &, I LOVE THE FLAVORS ... CHOCOLATE, VANILLA, BANANA & LEMON (KIND OF MILD FOR MY TASTES, BUT STILL GOOD) - 20gr PROTEIN IN 6.4 OZ.

I just want to be on full liquids..! we'll ge to soft foods soon... we have to be patient

Hi Marcey, I just went on real food as of Thursday. I'm doing 2oz 5x's a day of protein like 2oz turkey breast, 2oz cottage cheese, 1 egg, 2 oz fat free cheeses, 1 8oz nonfat yougurt. You're time will come . I did liquid for 2 weeks before surgery and 2 weeks after. I'm down 34.5lbs since my surgery on 10-18-05. It will get better for you. Just keep the faith and before you know it you will be eating real foods. Good luck and best wishes, Lisa J

try eating sugar free fudgesickles and tomato soup made with milk...i tell you the fudgesickles were the only thing that got me through those tough times cheryl

Hi Cheryl! I am just curious...I heard that tomato soup is really bad because of the sugar content...does it bother your pouch? Kristine

I hear your pain, girlfriend! We'll get through this together. I am soooooo....craving real food! I just want to take out the turkey lunch meat and start chewing ! Just think, this is just a phase. I keep asking my angel how hard it was for her (she's 7 months post op). She tells me that she went through the exact same thing that we are going through now, and she and her husband sit back now and laugh about how bad she was whining when she was going through it. I am sure we will do the same thing. This too will pass... I fully agree on the icky protein shakes!!! I can't wait to get my protein in from food or at least a protein bar. My husband and I keep revelling in the fact that this is sooooo...much easier to do now. All of the low carb, high protein has been a fad for so long that they really target that market. Can you imagine trying to do this 10-15 years ago??? Good luck! You are welcome to whine anytime!!!! Hugs! Kristine
