it seems like everytime I try and eat everything get stuck and either comes back up or is so uncomfortable so right now im living on carnation instant breakfast sugar free...I feel like im starving....I have 4 kids and I feel like maybe im too anxious when im trying to eat and serve them..i don't knw I keep coming up with a ton of reasons or maybe im to early to be eating regular foods...example of foods below im trying to eat.. tonight I made taco soup and I just tried eating the beans from it, and they got stuck, dinner last night was burritos I was going to eat refried beans, but was stuck on something from earlier in the day,, scrambled eggs this morning got stuck, kashi go lean cereal was working last week, but gave me trouble this weekend, I tried making cauliflower crust pizza with just cheese as the topping and got stuck with that right away.... I don't want to live on protein shakes and yogurt and tuna salad can someone give me some other info that might help me be successful and not feel like failure who is starving themselves....thanks so much!!

I have been on full liquids for 2 weeks and on Friday I get to move to the next stage...looking for some good ideas/recipes of different foods to try...What is your best food suggestion to start out with and or try ??

I had surgery on Friday August 9th ( 1 wk ago) I have six incisions and staples keeping my incisions closed, which don't hurt or bother me at all. However I have a stinging, pulling feeling about 4 inches below my large incision on my left side, but it is on the inside of me that hurts, and there is no incisions where this pain is. It stings when I stand up from a sitting position, cough, sneeze. It doesn't feel like a pulled muscle, its more like a burning stinging pulling feeling...anyone experience this before??

I am on full liquids as well, I had surgery on Friday the 9th, This morning for breakfast I made a very yummy protein shake.. 2oz skim milk, 1/2 banana, 1/2 scoop unjury vanilla protein powder, 1TBSP peanut butter, 4-5 ice cubes, blended it all in a blender and it was sooo goo, only able to drink about 4oz of it at one time.. For dinner I got some minestrone soup from a italing restraint, took out the noodles, blended the soup, added 1/2 scoop unflavored protein powder and had a delicious dinner....

do you know if it is ok to add 1 tsp-1tbsp of regular peanut butter to a protein shake if you are still in the full liquid stage?? I had surgery on Friday and just looking for some different ways to get my protein in, and to jazz up these shakes a little

I had my RNY on Friday afternoon and been on clear liquids since, my stomach hasn't quit make noises since. Did anyone else have this post-op and how long did it last ?? it sounds like loud growling, stuff digesting just really loud

Sitting on my couch reading some posts waiting to leave for the hospital getting more nervous as the minutes pass....I have to be at the hospital @ 10am my surgery is scheduled for 12pm....so EXCITED for the rest of my life....Im a mom of 4 kids ages 13,12,8,7...who I cant wait to be active with....I will post this evening or tomorrow depending on how im feeling...

Tomorrow I go into my last apt with my Surgeon to pick a date for surgery before she asks for approval from my insurance company... I have BCBS and have been on their "turning point" program for 6 months and have completed all the requirement's and my surgeon's as well... The only thing I was unsuccessful at was losing 5% of my starting weight. Do you think my insurance will use this as a reason for DENIAL ?? Im so worried, I have done everything else besides that one part, I want this so bad and want to be approved, Im really worried, crying and getting depressed over this....has anyone else been in this situation and if so what was the outcome ??

I had my EGD yesterday and the Dr said I have quite a few ulcers....what does this mean??? and will I still be able to my my surgery ??? This was my last thing I need to do before I can schedule surgery...now Im scared I may have to wait longer.....anyone have this ???

Im a mom of 4 active kids, I work full time, and im very excited for this new lifestyle just cant decide which is the best way for me to go..
