1 month

So it's been one month since my surgery and I'm still (mostly, LOL) glad I did it.  I'm down 35 lbs and mostly feel good.  I had another bout of vomiting last night after chicken and a little potato.  Not sure if it was too dry, too much, too fast or ???  But chicken and I are in a fight now.  It makes you wonder if you'll ever be able to eat normally but I suppose I will eventually.  I need to post new pictures and also take measurements again to see progress.

chicken and  tough beef and i still have fights

I cant do dark meat chicken and turkey but not white unless it is in mayo.

Eggs  are getting better but i have not tried scambled in a while.

you are doing great!!!!

I can now eat a whole sandwich  most of the time.   so that is normal just got to make sure i dont  eat  more than that.

have a great day

sorry about the chicken. Hooray for your weight loss. Im excited to see me in a month.
Patty, can you eat white bread or no? I think thats what I will 9and do) miss the most

White bread will never be your friend. There is nothing nutritious in it and you will lose your taste for it.  I do a half an english muffin once in awhile, that is as close as I get.  I don't do pasta either unless its Dreamfield's (low carb) and very little of that or rice or potato.  It gets easier.

Everyone is so different I haven't had any trouble with any meat or eggs.  Bread and past forget it.  It gets easier Tami, I promise!

Just a quick note to say that I am sooo thankful to all of you for sharing your ups and downs!  It is very helpful for someone like me who is just in the beginning of this journey!  I need to know the bad, as well as the good, and all the helpful hints are wonderful!  Good wishes to you all, and thanks again! 

A month! Wow, time flies! And 35lbs is a whole toddler!
Congratulations!

I just had to say you made me laugh out loud when you said .....35 lbs. is a whole toddler.....I LOVE IT!  That sure is a great way to think about it...can hardly wait till I lose a whole teenager!  lol  Thanks for the smile!

Thanks for the encouragement.  I think I'll stick to my protein shakes and cheese for now :-)  I have done fine at restaurants with tilapia but don't dare try anything else.  I guess I just need to be patient.

Solid proteins like chicken and beef (and even fish!) are still the bane of my existence, but it's getting better.  I've actually found that I can tolerate more of it if it is in a frozen meal (like Lean Cuisine) - something about the way it's processed seems to make it moister/easier to digest.  Very weird!
