I've been having crazy cravings for sweets allllll day. My day started with protein pancakes and I just had some frozen Greek yogurt with 1/4 of sugar free maple syrup with a tbs of cocoa powder mixed in. So. Yum!

Yes, that is for a 1/4 cup scoop pancake.

I will be 3 weeks on Wednesday. I am on soft foods. They went down great. Then again, I haven't had trouble with anything I've tried though so I don't know if I'm the person to ask. :/ I just take TINY bites and chew chew chew. It's worked for me this long. Lol

Anyone else here mourn the amount of food they CANNOT eat? I'm happy i did the bypass and seeing great results so far, but I can't help but to mourn binge eating... I would love to just eat a whole pizza, box of chips ahoy, and half gallon of milk. Ugh. I need to find a new way of thinking. I miss fat Friday nights with pizza and snacks.

This quilt is absolutely beautiful! So awesome for summer!

Anyone accidentally overeat than feel miserable for hours? I think I took one bite too many at dinner and now I feel yucky.

Since Friday has always been "pizza day" in our house, I am making my fiancé a flatbread pizza on a 100 calorie flatbread. For myself, I am making a layered pizza casserole with laughing cow cream cheese on the bottom, a layer of sauce, a layer of low fat mozz, and a top layer of shredded turkey pepperoni. Can't wait!

Just eat slowly and choose something surgery friendly. You'll be fine.

So I'm having horrible lower right quadrant pain. I feel like I'm being dismissed by my surgeon and gynecologist. My surgeon sent me to my gyne and my gyne pretty much said I'm too fat to do a proper exam so she sent me for a transvaginal ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed nothing (as I suspected because I am not feeling the pain THAT low). Now they're like "oh well... We're not sure" and leaving it at that. I am MISERABLE. The pain keeps getting worse and worse. I don't want to go to the ER cause I'm afraid of being admitted again. I have no clue what to do at this point. I haven't slept in days.

Yes, thankfully, they gave me another tiny bottle of the Roxicet. That's all I need. Tylenol works just fine during the day, but I needed something strong for bedtime when I am truly in PAIN.

Thank you so much. I am happy too. I just accepted a promotion this morning and was worried that would be in jeopardy if I needed more surgery.

I had a few noodles out of a Smart Ones ziti marina TV dinner. Tastes insanely relish, but about 10 noodles filled me up. Lol

Thank you guys. Turns out, I have multiple hematomas in my abdominal wall from all the manipulation of surgery. The ER doc said that they're very painful and will go away with time. And yes, I agree, they are VERY painful.

Waiting in the ER and praying this is just something simple and stupid.

If you're still only on liquids, the thing I remember is liquids in=liquids out. :/ I just started soft food on Tuesday and am finally past everything being completely liquid coming out. If you're running a fever or something, then I would worry.

Hey all... So it's a few days later and the pain just keeps getting worse. I'm planning on going in to the ER after work if it doesn't ease up (which I suspect it won't). I haven't slept in DAYS. It's just awful. If this is a pulled muscle, my goodness! It's insanely painful! My concern is they're going to try and admit me. I don't want to be admitted. :/

I'm on soft foods, so tonight I took some of the chicken I grilled up for Sunday dinner and put it in the blender with chicken broth. Once that was nicely puréed, I added a little cheese, taco sauce, and a TBS of red pepper hummus. I mixed it all up, heated it up, and it tasted SO good!

My doctor said only 2-4 TBS in a meal as well. At this point, 2 tablespoons is just about enough and so far it's all stayed down. Maybe try with 1 TBS and work your way up...

Omg I ate tuna salad at lunch today. It tastes great, but I are just a bit too much and now I feel bloated an uncomfortable. I seriously only are like 2 TBS. lol this is the weirdest and coolest experience ever!

I am concerned about my appendix. Supposedly when they did the ultrasound, it looked fine... I don't know... They're saying it could be a pulled muscle. I've never felt a pulled muscle that just continually got worse and worse...

My fiancé wants me to ask for a refill as well cause I'm having HORRIBLE pain on my right side. I feel like an ass asking for more. It sounds so silly to just suffer over asking for something, but I don't want them thinking I'm hooked.
