I have Kaiser and my NUT says no peanut butter ever. Have you guys heard the same or are you allowed? Whats so harmful about PB?

Im 3 weeks out and I miss food. I miss chewing. I miss crunchy food. Has anyone chewed food in their mouth and spit it out just to get the flavor? I dont know if Im brave enough to do it but it sure sounds good!

Wow, none of this came to mind. Thanks for your response. Definitely dont want any eating disorders. This process is the hardest thing Ive gone threw. I guess you could say Im in the " What the heck did I do to myself " stage. Hope it goes away soon because there's nothing I can do about it now.

I am on the puree stage. I can NOT stomach pureed meat. This makes me so ill. I am so tired and weak, no energy I guess from lack of protein. My Dr doesnt do protein shakes ( Kaiser ). I need ideas as to what to eat. My poor body needs something to make it feel better. I am 3 weeks post op on Wednesday. Im also at a stall I guess do to not eating well. I called my NUT and she recommended tofu which Ive never had and wouldnt know what to do with it. I hate cottage cheese and cant have beans. Ive pureed fruit and had potato but its not making me feel good. Please someone give me some ideas.

I had my vsg on 8/21/13. I am so tired and weak still. I feel shaky inside. I am following the diet plan and taking my vitamins. Sipping my water through the day and night. Is anyone else feeling this way or felt this way? Please somebody tell me I am not alone.

Ok everyone, Im 5 days out and the gas they pump into you during surgery is killing me. I walk several times a day and been drinking my water. I have to have my husband massage my back because the gas pain is that bad. I thought by now it would have eased up. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Im taking my antacid they sent me home with as well. Please someone tell me when it will get better?!

I currently have one in the tube ready to come out. My surgery was last Wednesday. Im wanting it to stay put so I can heal from surgery but dont want it to stay put too long because then I always end up running a fever. Best of luck to you.

I see a lot of people doing this 2 wk clear liquid diet. I am going thru Kaiser and havent been told I need to do this. Anyone else going thru Kaiser? Were you told you needed to do this?

My sugery was on Wednesday and YES I have that feeling when I eat jello and drink water. I also get a hiccup and my stomach gets hard. How long will that last?

I am scheduled for surgery in 2 days. I have had kidney stones on and off since 1994. Most recent yr I get them every couple of months. Ive narrowed it down to being an ice tea drinker. Well 4 days ago I had another one come out of the kidney. So now I am dealing with the pain of it traveling down the uriture. My question is to everyone should I go ahead and do my surgery in 2 days or reschedule it after my stone passes. This is making me crazy because I have worked to hard to get where I am. Mentally and physically. I would appreciate any advice. Especially those who have had stones before. I did email the surgeon and he said to come in the day of surgery and he will assess me.

Hi everyone, I was wondering how long after surgery will the Dr allow you to go back to the gym?

So would walking on the treadmill be ok?

I have a question. Will I still use my food scale to weigh my foods post op?

Aug 21st. Getting close. I see a lot of people on liquid diets. My Dr isnt having me do that.
