What are you eating?

How is everybody doing? What types of food are you eating now? My surgery date was 12-17-07

Hi Wendy: I am fine and I hope you are the same. I had my operation on 12/3/07 in PA. Dr. Boe was my Dr. I am eating regular food. I am still having a problem getting all my protein drink down and then the amount of fluid intake that they want me to do . It seems that by the time I finish drinking I have no more room for the food but I am trying my best. My scale as been in a stall state for the past 2 weeks. It goes up 2 pounds then down 1-2 pounds in the same week but does not change at all. But my cloths are all falling off of me. So I must be losing inches. I found a new type of cracker that I am trying. I got it at the Asian Market it is from SUN RISE PRODUCTS it is called Onion Cracker. I have 2 of them and they are real good. Something good for a change. Do you have any ideas of how I can help myself with my scale lose? I am open to any ideas. Hope to hear from you soon. Donna P

Hi. I'm also eating everything. Well, I will try anything. Some things don't agree with my pouch. (cottage cheese, eggs, chicken and dumplings, you never know!) I was on a stall for 2 weeks and it was awful! I got on the scale this morning and have lost 3 lbs over night. I did nothing different. Everyone says that we all go through this. Something about our bodies being in shock and hanging on to the pounds. I try not to weigh as often. My clothes are falling off, too. Keep at it. Don't get on the scale! Kristen

For Protein, try Profect Protein Shots. they have 25g of protein per shot. I put them in my water as I have 2 a day. That way I get 50g of protein and the rest I figure I get from food. The website - www.protica.com aph

Hey, you're my surgery sister! At my last appointment (6 week post-op) I was cleared for all foods. I can tolerate just about everything so far. Of course, the normal rules still apply. Too much fat or sugar is out of the question, other than that no problems.

I can eat anything. Sadly I don't dump.... at least if I do, I don't know it yet! Left over chicken doesn't sit well with me, but when it's fresh and juicy it's fine... everything else, including salad, is fine.

well i don't know if i dump because i haven't ested it yet and don't plan on it......food has been tpouch and go for me though. anything allowed for me that is very soft works.......... very dense stuff it rough for me to handle still..... and that wedny's chili is evil to my pouch.. 2 bites and i'm getting that slimy foamie thing.....ewwwwwwwww
