I did 10/24/12.

Mine emptied it so there wouldn't be any further complications., especially if you had scar tissue or erosions. Plus he wanted to scope me to be sure.

I advanced to Stage 2 Pureeds today per surgeon/nut guidelines. We can advanced on a weekly basis but with stage 3 (soft foods) lasting 2 weeks. So I mixed together a can of Hormel 98% FF Turkey chili, 1/4 cup kraft 2% sharp chedder cheese, 1/2 cup of broth. After I heated a 1/2 of cup in the microwave, I added 2 tablespoons of Chobani NF plain greek yogurt. Man, that was good to me!!! Total protein after I logged it in to myfitnesspal was 26 gm!!!

I started trying to stock my cabinets with some possible foods for the different stages. How many carbs, sugars or fats you need to look out for? Does the nutrional label have to say 0 gm of sugar or can it have some? Like I wanted to buy some tomato soup for liquid stage but I noticed it had corn syrup in it I think and then some grams of sugar. So i put it back.

I did both at the same time also.

Same here. No problems only a 40lb weight loss and then gained it back.

Anybody that revised from band to rny feel like or thought that you would have the somewhat the same kind of restriction? I asked surgeon about this at follow up and he said it wouldn't be the same. I'm 5 weeks out and eating regular foods now but I feel like I'm eating way too much at times. I'm measuring everything and trying to keep everything to a minimum. In my manual from Nut some stuff have 2 T servings of this or that and I can eat more than that. Today I wanted to eat every hour. I'm tolerating everything so far. I haven't had any stuck episodes on anything so far except last Friday I ate something that I shouldn't have and way too much of it too fast because I let myself get very hungry. I had some nachos with chilli. I dumped and I believe i got some stuck also. Just wondering.

I think my cravings and wanting to eat more were due to taking progesterone pills to induce a cycle. Also stressing over the semester end; finals, papers, etc. Then the restriction is based on what I eat, the consistency of eat and how I chew it.

I am two weeks out and I started my Zumba DVD this week. Seriously thinking about joining a class!

Polaners Sugar Free Preserves

Yes and as long as it is sugar free and lowfat to fat free. Some suggestions: Fat free refried beans and cheese with some greek yogurt( taste the same as sour cream) Hormel 98 % Fat free turkey chili with or without beans Greek Yogurt and sugar free preserves Mashed Potatoes (go lightly because of carbs) applesauce any meat that you can puree with some broth. the entree from your favorite frozen dinner (healthy choice/ lean cuisine and puree it) fruit and lowfat cottage cheese. low fat deli sliced turkey or chicken breast. Jello sugar free puddings (can buy some unflavored protein and to milk to make with the instant ones.) Unflavored proteins can be added to almost anything. (Unjury is a good brand there are some other brands also. Go to Unjury websites and they have all sorts of recipes to use with it)

I am carmelbrownsugar75! I am about to send request to all of you on this post.

I have all this extra left over here. I'm not going to even test the waters!!! I won't lie, when I first opened the bag of chocolates and the smell of Reese's came out I almost fell to my knees. After that, I haven't even wanted any.

Congrats

Campbell's 98% Fat Free Condensed Broccoli Cheese Soup with Unjury Unflavored Protein and strained!

My doc says can take anything the size of an plain M &M or smaller.

Hope you get better. My doc gives all his bypasses a script for a daily Prilosec 40mg cap for 2 months. Still waiting to get filled because insurance wants a PA(Prior Authorization). $170 for 30 days Otherwise they want me to get the OTC. I'm a week postop and I feel like as of last night a might be developing one.

I ordered the Unjury from the Unjury website. You can order samples from them also. They have flavored ones. 1 scoop of Unjury is 21gm plus the protein in the milk and the soup itself. I like it but you have be careful and not over heat it or else it will curdle on you. They have recipes for its use such as jello, pudding, soups and sf koolaid etc. Look on there website. I try to use a scoop in some form of something each day along with other proteins that I drink. I think you can get your 64 easily with an unflavored protein as a supplement plus other different kinds. I have tubs of Syntrax Nectar Proteins also and Premier RTD Chocolate and Vanilla Shakes( from Sam's Club).

Do we any October Preops left for tomorrow?

You'll do fine, praying. You'll get plenty of sleep afterwards, just keeping hitting that little button they give you(Hint, Hint)!!!

I wouldn't attempt it. I left post over on your other thread if you are referring to stool softeners.

If you are going to get a script for it ask for liquid. It is available in liquid form. Colace that is. But with that being said, Miralax works just the same. It is not a harsh laxative and it softens stools also and it can be taken up to 7 days if need be. I love it. It is my laxative of choice now for the last 3 years. I ususally use Benefiber also. Both of these can be mixed in your favorite drinks or juices. No, it is not like Metamucil if you ever had it. It disappears, but drink right away.

No blind ng tubes is correct. Anything that they try and pass through to your stomach. As stated before, an ET tube is something totally different. It's what you had when you where out cold being operated on, down your wind pipe.

Nasogastric Tube. Suction tubes that go through nose down through your stomach and also feeding tubes(OG-Orogastric)goes into mouth through stomach.
