I've been putting natural peanut butter in chocolate protein shakes. Make them with ice in the blender.

I'm still fat, lol. I'm only just over three weeks out. Only down around twenty pounds.

We should all get together!

The mojito and appletini are good too.

Living dangerously. They're ordering Chinese at work so I'm getting egg drop wonton soup and some broccoli.

I need to step away from the scale except for once a week. I'm up a little over two pounds from two days ago and I'm stressing.

Ask your surgeon. I had no physical restrictions at all. Was just told if something hurt not to do it.

Shelley's ricotta bake!!!

I was down about 14.5 lbs and two weeks.

Vomiting pretty much daily. I could only eat 1-1.5oz and sometimes it would come back up even hours later. Some liquids wouldn't even stay down. And my pills and vitamins were getting stuck and causing me to throw up also.

I can't wait til I can have cucumber and tomato salad!!!!

I'll be going back in for surgery to remove scar tissue in my intestines Monday morning. They said its a pretty rare complication but they do see it and the fix is a simple surgery.

I'm going thru this right now. Will be having the surgery to remove the scar tissue in a few days. What was the recovery like? I'm trying to hurry up and coordinate time off work etc.

It does stink. But explains why eating and drinking has been such a struggle for me.

He got hurt a week before my surgery so Dr Gagne ended up picking me up. They're both so fantastic. I love their office staff.

Taco meat with some cheese, taco sauce and sour cream.

Looks like I'll be having surgery either Thursday or Monday to remove scar tissue that has narrowed my intestines below my pouch.

I'm 13 days out and wondering what on earth I did to myself. In the beginning, I couldn't hold down liquid. Then it was just cold liquid. Then it was just milk. Then it was just if I drank too fast. Getting my Protein was a chore. I despise Protein drinks. I have to gag them down. If I'm lucky, they stay down. Now I'm thinking OMG yay soft foods!!! Maybe I can get protein without the nasty protein powder!!! Scrambled eggs stay down. Yogurt does half the time. Deli meat and cheese, string cheese, egg salad, refried Beans - all the other things I've tried - have come back up. At this point I'm struggling to get much protein at all. My NUT says its hard in the beginning but they've never seen someone with a protein deficiency so just to do the best I can. At this point, I'm wondering if anything will ever stay down. I want to start exercising but have no energy because I can't keep any food in. I'm tired of throwing up. I keep having to run to the bathroom at work within twenty minutes of eating anything. I'm feeling really defeated. I want to cry. Everyone says this will be worth it, but it seems like nobody else is goin thru or has gone thru what I am.
