Lird help me!!! I have been VERY goid today. Drinking my water, had a hard boiled egg for breakfast, and just had a couple of carrot sticks. Now....I just feel sick & in pain. My stomach hurts bad!!!!

Thats whats weird....Im 12 weeks out tomorrow. I was cleared for all foods 2 weeks out. So Ive had carrots before. I havent exceeded any limits with what little I have eaten. Im drinking my Water....Im just really miserable right now.

I think thats great!!

Awesome!! Keep up the great work.

That's great. My husband & I moved here in June and walked the Strip the next weekend. Unfortunately that was one of my low points as far as walking & all that fun stuff....so needless to say....we only made it to 4 of the hotels that day. One of them had to be Caesars because his daughter wanted to do the Zack Gallifinackus (spelling??) bit from Hangover. And she did. LOL We are hoping to finish our walk when it gets nicer out.

Im still having a hard time with the whole breakfast thing. Ive never gotten up early enough to have breakfast & have never been much of a breakfast person anyway. I just cant stomach food that early...makes me nauseous. I did try one of Starbucks Protein Bistro Boxes the other day. Couldnt finish it (because it was alot & I was still having issues with this dang root canal) but I ate the egg, cheese & part of the fruit.

Oh wow. I live in Vegas. Where are you a chef at? It sounds like you are doing well. Congrats & Good luck on your continuing journey.

I am 11 weeks post op as of yesterday. Im having a hard time getting a good nights sleep. I just cant seem to get comfortable & stay that way thru the night. Im not in pain or anything...just cant get or stay comfy to sleep at night. Anyone else have this issue?

The weather changed here in Vegas again & it has been raining. And I had a horrible dental appt this past Monday that has decided to keep giving me heck.....so I thought it sounded like a good day for some homemade veggie soup. I'm running out of things that sound good but also that I should be eating. Instead of all the stuff I could eat but shouldn't.

Sounds pretty good... I was released at my 2 week check up to eat whatever but told to try one thing at a time incase it didnt go over well so I would know what it was. It was suggested I start with fish...but I dont eat fish. We eat alot of chicken around here....even more now. And thank god for eggs & cheese.

Was it recommended to anyone else not to eat pork chops? Just because they tend to be so dry?? I miss grilled chops....

What about sucking on ice chips in between your sips? I had a horrible time with nausea up until recently & the only thing that helped with that was tea. Water made it worse. I cant remember what stage you are at but can you have fruit? Watermelon is really "juicy" and not too chunky or hard to get down either. And if you are still taking any of the pain meds or anything like that they can make your mouth dry & make your tummy upset if there's no food to speak of in there.

I made some extra lean burgers one night for dinner & cooked them on my Forman grill. Added a little chopped up onions & peppers & some seasonings. No bun for mine. They were pretty tasty & still really moist.

I took 6 days off. Surgery was a Wednesday...off the rest of that week & the weekend. That Monday was a holiday. Went back the next day.

Las Vegas

I still have a dry mouth all the time too. Its like Im always thirsty. But I feel like Im drinking all tge time. In the mornings....man am I thirsty. And I have caught myself....too late a few times....taking too big of a drink because I was soooo thirsty. Boy....that hurt like heck. I didnt throw up but my stomach hurt BAD after. Hope you feel better.

No lima Beans. i do put a little beef in it.....but mostly a pot of veggies. no peas either.....yuck!! LOL

I'm 5'3". surgery weight 236. surgery 11/7/12. down 43 lbs so far. I need to work out more. I walk everyday but not sure that's gettin it anymore. But its still rough on the tummy for crunches. And I dont think I can do the gym thing. I think we are going to get something for our house.

I have been cold since surgery too. Gives me a very good excuse to cuddle. Even tho my husband swears I'm "like a thousand degrees"!! LOL

It should...but my app is updated & for sone reason I cant respond or change pages on ny ipad. ??
