I know that I'm eating too fast but I'm sick of feeling sick when I eat. How much are/were you guys eating at this stage with puréed foods? I'm going back to work next week and can't feel like this every time I eat. Please help!

yeah, I agree...think of the blinking red light as a sign of the uncomfortableness to come

I think I finally have the food part under control (special thanks to laura-ven - your advice has been great!). Had to LOL on the mega gallstone pills. I have had to set up a special regimen to just get meds down. They were getting "stuck" it seemed. That's not even the supplements. Having a horrible time on the multi vitamin...gone through at least 3 different brands and not able to down them at all. On the calcium, I got some bariatric advantage calcium powder but it is definitely not "unflavored" as it states. I've upped my milk intake and am taking Tums Ultra. Not as good for absorption as others, but my primary care doc said its better than nothing. Since I can get that down, I will stick with that for a bit. Too bad everything isn't as easy as that B12!!!

Yep same here

Thank you both! I guess because I'm trying to get that protein in I skip to more is best. How are you getting all that protein in?. Any recommendations on the multivitamin?

Things have been going well but adjusting to the right amounts of food is proving tough. Have had some real bad bouts of gas. I'm on puréed foods now. Biggest challenge is when fam is having things like turkey sandwiches. Still find myself eating fast and suffering for it. And I just can not take the multivitamins! Anyone have a tolerable multi they recommend?

Mine was on 18th. Advice I was given by many is not to even bother weighing right now. At least 2-3 weeks because gases and liquids pumped into u with surgery stick around for a bit! I haven't even gotten near a scale...just concentrating on moving, this crazy diet that is my frustration, and chillin' while I still can!

What is an abdominal binder?

Good luck!

I was too. Haven't weighed myself though. Trying to deal with this diet since I am not a person who likes sweets and I just can't handle the soups after an entire week of them. Feeling very uncomfortable from gas...not so good a night last night. I just want something somewhat real to consume! Keep walkin tho! Happy for u,

I too am so over the liquid thing. I'm trying to go walking to keep my mind off of the stuff that I want...it's getting really hard to get anything down. I was never into sweet things and other than the cream soups, there is nothing appetizing at all! It's starting to worry me a lot.

This jello, pudding, broth, protein shake menu is beginning to drive me crazy...what r u guys doing? I want some hummus or something!

Mine was 3/18. Everyone is different but the gas is an issue for me too. It's making me feel like I'm hungry and I find myself craving certain foods that I can't eat right now being on a liquid diet.

Phew! I thought I was doing something wrong...I was told you should take three sips within 15 min...try that...it's hard because we are thirsty and definitely don't want to get dehydrated. That's why I've added the crushed ice. Are you hungry?
