getting better

Well, went through the turmoil of the surgery. For those of you that didnt know, my lap turned into an open because of major scar tissue. Although it was scary and i ended up with penoumia, im getting better. Thank you all for your prayers. I have a question though. My eating, Im not sure if Im doing it right. I can eat a whole cup of sugar free pudding, like for my lunch. I seem to being doing fine on protien and water intake. I have not thrown up. If i eat cream of wheat in the morning I can eat a whole pack for breakfast. Like today I had a few bites of oatmeal, about 3 spoonfuls of mashed potatos and gravy, and a sugar free popsicle. Thats pretty much the basic. But I dont get nausesa and dont throw up. Im full and dont want anymore. I like some cold stuff and some hot stuff. Is that normal? Cause I know that we are not supposed to be able to eat over like 2 oz at a time.  Thanks Cindy

Glad you are feeling better.  I dont think i can help with your diet because i am not allowed to have most of the things you listed.  But every doctor is different. Did you post this on the RNY board cause it get much more traffic than this one and you can get answers quickly. 

HOw the heck are ya?  i have thought about you.  call me anytime.  ya know i noticed that about 2-3 weeks after surgery is when my one tablespoon of food and i am stuffed feeling came into play.  you are doing fine.   so many good things are going to be coming you way.

Hey Miranda. I am doing better, had such a scare with the surgery, but doing so much better now. I have already lost around 30 pounds. wow I am trying to get the protien in. What did you do for the protien? I am now at the stage of eating an egg or cottage cheese. But I am weak so I know I am not getting enough protein. Jessica is missing her dad so maybe you can give her a call sometime or your mom. Good to hear from you. Cindy
