Thanks everyone. I have an appointment this week with my NUT. I'll see what she says. I am not so good with cooked veggies. I like them better raw. I am dying to expand my diet a bit so I don't get too bored. Bored = bad. :/

I had surgery February 19. I feel like I've been on mushies for ev er. When were you allowed to have fresh fruits and veggies? When are seeds and peels no longer an issue? I miss corn.

I think I'm having an intolerance to eggs strangely only if scrambled. My GI system becomes super grumbly loud, gassy (from both ends), and diarrhea. I once pan fried an egg and don't recall having this trouble. Even weirder is that one scrambled egg was "real" the other was Egg Beater. I think I'm just going to back off eggs for a while.

Awesome!! I signed up for a Color Me Rad 5K in June. I had surgery 2/19. It will be my first 5K and my first attempt to really learn to run. I don't really expect that I'll be ready to run the whole thing, but i intend to keep it fun and moving forward. Congrats!!

I feel the same way. This thread has really made me feel better. I'm 3 weeks post op and am doing it all too. I think I too am just trying to cope with those old failure feelings. Faith and patients. It's what I got! One day at a time.

I feel your concern. Patients sure is a tough lesson and no matter how many times we have the lesson, it just don't get easier to deal with. I'm only three and a half weeks post op. I lost 16lbs on the two week liquid diet and another 14 after surgery (pretty much in the first two weeks). I feel pretty good about that, but after this week I'm already worried about stalling. I am doing everything I'm told, so I have to use my faith to get me the patients to see this all go just the way it's supposed to. I feel your burden and am glad you are here letting us know so we can support you.

I do take the sublingual B12. It's the B50 that super gross. I gave in and am taking it with a small bit of pudding to make sure it slides down. The capsule wall is pretty flimsy so I'm sure it dissolves quick. So far no troubles yet. ))

Awesome!!

I took two weeks and would have been fine with that, but learned that a pain in my abdomen was due to a rare incidence of a stitch in a nerve. Made pretty much every thing painful, so the doc put me off an extra week to give the stitch some time to dissolve while I continued more pain meds with a lidocaine patch. Total of 3 weeks and I have a desk type job.

Holy cow! Congrats! I agree w/ BandMom you need to get a nutrition plan down quick! I pray for a happy healthy pregnancy.

I do that too. It has been impressed upon me that I take the B50 complex because you could end up with nerve damage without it. It's the grossest of all the vitamins. Haha!
