2-weeks postop

Has anyone tried few bits of bananna in their protein drink? I use that with some skim milk and it tastes pretty good. I use Costco's Pro rated vanilla and chocolate. I hear everyone say the chocolate is yuk but that's the one I prefer. My surgery was 10/17. Surgery went great but I developed pneumonia in both lungs so had to stay in the hospital 5 more days than I thought. I had my first dumping thing yesterday when I thought I could eat a baked potato. I ate too much because I hate to fast and it was awful. I am back to watching it good. Most foods that I think I will like - eggs, yogurt, etc taste awful to me. I like to hear about what everyone's eating at this stage of the game so I will stay in touch with this board. You guys have been helping me out just reading your posts. Have a good day.

Hi Patricia - thanks for replying to me. I am off to the mountains with my family. We rent a cabin there each year for a few days. Would love to keep in touch with you to see what you are eating. Actually I am on the same regimen you are on. The potato thing I should not have ate and won't do that again. Basically I am on 1 protein shake for breakfast and then throughout the day I have soup or diet popsicles. I always measure with by 1 oz small container so I don't overfill my new tummy. I'll be back on Monday and see what you are eating. Thanks Karen

Hi Patricia - just wanted to see how you are doing. Both of us are almost 4 weeks postop. Wanted to see where you were at with your diet. Are you on soft foods? What foods do you find really good? Well have a great weekend. Karen
