checking in+question
so i havent been able to be on here bc my computer at home is messed up, and i just came back to work this week. anyway, i have been doing pretty good... i weighed myself for the first (since surgery) tiem sunday night and have lost about 22lbs!!! since oct 3rd! i couldnt believe it!!!! people tell me they can tell already, but i think they are trying to be nice! i figure i will have to loose about 900000 lbs before i can see it. anyway, things are ok. i havent been able to eat tho... i have been trying to eat and get my protein shakes in ,and i cant. i feel sick to my stomach, and have gotten sick a couple of times (and i hadnt eaten at all). i was on pain med longer bc of endometreosis and so i dont know if that makes me not hungry or what. so here is my question.... i am almost 3 weeks out. i know i can have beans and broth... what about vegitable soup with beef broth? can you eat some of the lima beans, peas, little bites of very soft carrots? not all of it, just a little picking around in it????? i know you can have baby food vegis, so i didnt know, if it was that soft, if it was ok....
thanks all! hope you are all having a great day!

hello, i am almost one month post op and still on pureed food. although i am a clarian patient our diets are a little diffrent. My feeling as a nurse is this though. we tell people who are vomiting and having nausea to back off on diet advance . i would go back to liquids and really concentrate on protein. also i think you should talk with your surgeon. some people have to have a scope and open up their entrance to the pouch as it tightens after surgery some ive been told. so my advice is to call you md and not advance your diet till you quit getting sick.
