I eat 1 toddler sized meal a day mid day, and like 3 small snacks which would be either yogurt, a protein bar, 1/4 cup cottage cheese.........etc.  I always try to make my snacks high protein because I do not like the shakes too well. My NUT wants me to eat another meal a day but I can't get it in........I would feel like I would be eating all day long if I did that.

I feel you on the protein shake thing I can't drink them either they make me sooo sick nasty nasty.  I just try to eat alot of meat and fish, fruits & veggies.  Love salad.

Okay so for the past several weeks I've had this pain in my left side of my stomach. (which is the side where the most work was done)  But when I went to the dr last week he says he thinks it's scar tissue and wants to do a diagnostic laproscopy (MORE HOLES!!)  I'm kinda freaking out because I have no idea if that is infact what it is and I'm so allergic to anesthesia and after getting pneumonia when I had my surgery I'm VERY apprehensive if you can imagine.  I'm going to call my primary and get a second opinion.  I totally trust my dr but that made me a bit nervous to say he's going to open me up and doesn't know FOR SURE that's what it is, ya know??  I don't know if any of you have heard of this or are having this kind of pain.  The best way to describe the pain is when you've strained something and it sometimes goes into my back like my back is out or something??  It's so strange and so hard to explain.  All I know is that it's becoming more constant and it's totally preventing me from working out!!  Ugghh!!  I thought at first that I'd herniated something.  I've never had a hernia but the pain I'm having to me would describe it.  Does this make any sense to anyone??  I'm a bit at a loss.  He has actually scheduled me for a colonscopy which I don't have a sensativity to that at least so I'm not concerned about that and I am due for one so I'm totally okay with it.  He did say he wanted to wait to see what that showed but that he was doing the diagnostic lap reguardless to removed the scar tissue if any.  The other thing is the dr bills are rolling in and I have a sinking feeling my insurance isn't probably going to want to pay for this either??  We'll see i guess but I'm going to call my ins and find out what they have to say about even covering it.  All I know is that this is completely misserable and it's totally making me feel depressed.  I was feeling SOOOO good and now it feels like I'm going backwards with the pain anyway!!  Well if anyone has ANY insite please share!! 

I had my surgery on 10/28, I am eating most anything but very small bites or very moist.  I have only had issues with eggs, can't do them in any style.  I do a 4 oz dannon light and fit yogurt with Kashi Go lean cereal for breakfast, 3 oz of chicken or tuna, with lite applesauce.  I love Trader Joe's Turkey Chili, and can eat a soft cooked corn tortilla with chicken and cheese melted for dinner.  It is amazing how different doctors suggest different phases of diets.  I do have to supplement my protein with drinks during the day.  My favorite is Profect 50 grams because I mix it with water and sip on it all day.  I don't eat raw veggies or raw fruit only pureed fruit and over cooked steamed veggies.
