Wires

10days out and there's several things that are way too big now. Toss em? (ahhhh! so strange!)

My NUT said I could eat some soft fruit, just a little. I had 3 small cubes of watermelon...don't know if its because I ate too fast or the consistency but I felt like i couldn't breathe, like I needed to throw up but couldn't. It was NOT a good feeling at all. I just walked around the kitchen, felt like I kept swallowing and couldn't talk and that something was stuck in my chest. Ughh, it sucked.

Thanks everyone. I'll stick with canned peaches for now...I love peaches anyway!

I def didn't drink regular but G2 had more sugar than other drinks (no wonder why it was so good lol)...I don't have one in front of me but yes I stopped drinking it for that reason.

I drank it but then realized it had more sugar than I thought. I switched to powerade zero and propel. Much better in my opinion.

I need help picking what to eat (luckily the menu is online and they serve Breakfast all day). I'm in the soft mechanical stage, so the stage right after puree... Here are some options, what do you think? (I would skip stuff like english muffin, potatoes, corn, tortilla chips...but would eat the eggs, cheese, salsa, MAYBE a small bite of the veggies and chew thoroughly) A) Southwest Potato Frittata Potato, Roasted Corn, Pepper & Onion, Black Beans Cooked into an Open omelet with Pepperjack Cheese on Top, served with a Side of Salsa. Sorry the Potatoes are in the Omelet. New Orleans Omelet Peppers, Marinated Mushrooms and Pepperjack Cheese Make This a Favorite Omelet. C) California Eggs Benedict Avocado and Tomato with 2 Poached Eggs and Hollandaise Sauce on an English Muffin. D) Texas Eggs Eggs Scrambled with Salsa, Roasted Corn, Pepper, Onion, Black Beans, Cheddar Cheese and Tortilla Chips Over Home Fries E) chicken Breast with a Mushroom Brie Glaze Tender Chicken Breast draped in a Mushroom Brie Glaze. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

Thanks all!

LOL, I put B and a parentheses and that face showed up...didn't mean to say I liked that best! lol

Yes soft foods

Morningstar sausage ok (its veggie sausage). I love it and its very soft. I just need something I can eat, tastes good and doesn't take long in the morning (not a shake if possible). I emailed surgeon's dietician and am waiting for a response. Also what did you eat as meals for this stage? (after puree stage)?

my surgeon's said no baby food as to avoid convenience foods!

I don't know if it's because I stopped taking my anxiety meds (they're so big and cumbersome to break and take 3x a day (because it was ex release before which won't work now)... but I have NO patience. When my toddler or baby are acting like little kids...(Normal)...I get so irritated and frustrated with them...like too quickly. Like a rage taking over me. And same with how I've been with my husband. I am going NUTS at home not being able to drive just for this 1 week and the anxiety is out of control... suck it up and start taking the meds 3x a day? Something else? I'm 1 week post op today!

I'm in the full liquid stage and start purees in a couple of days. I'm worried about the weight loss slowing down. Dumb right? I need the Protein and eventually get used to food or figure out how to "deal" with food right...so I shouldn't stress tight? But I am a little bit...

just started my Viactiv chews... Chewed the whole thing at once thinking no biggie...learned the hard way (TMI warning!!) when I ended up in the bathroom for awhile afterwards. ARGH. Just an FYI

Not understanding why you won't follow their advice? It was our bad choices in the past that led us here...know what I mean?

Any chance anyone will let me know how to join the July 2014 secret FB group? Please :-)

I haven't been keeping track of protein grams and just trying to focus on my liquids, getting my meds in and trying some protein shakes. Anyone have a # goal at this stage in the game?

Right my book says work up to 60 grams. At this point though what should I be able to reach?

Who do I need to friend request to get on the secret FB group? Thanks!

Did you trying EAS carb control in vanilla? They're not bad

I'm 1 week post op This week is my placebo week/period week anyways so I wasn't taking my pills. Starting Sunday I was going to start taking them (not crushed and not cut)...they're pretty small. Ok to do, they're pretty tiny... What say you? :-)

Thank you all so much, feel much better knowing there are others who understand. I love my husband but he isn't the best support in talking about this because he has no idea how the anxiety/rage/craziness feels! I started awhile ago on them when someone close in my family suddenly died. Was off of them for awhile when pregnant (twice) but after 2nd baby I needed to go back on... Little one will be 1yr old in a few weeks! AHH!!!

R they extended release? I take wellbuterin but mine aren't extended release so I can cut mine in 4ths. .if there xr u can't cut..call ur pharmacy to make sure. I am 2 wks post an I can swallow it whole now..but I take 3 of them thru out the day supposed to..I might get 2 in...did u go thru ur med list before surgery an see wat was available in liquid or able to break? U realy need to take them...hope u feel better soon.. Yes I mentioned above they're ex release but now I have the regular 3x/day pills instead which are cuttable (my husband is a pharm)... Going to cut them tonight, at least some and start doing 1 at night and 1 in morning...I can't even imagine me remembering to take one mid-day too. I am so bad with that stuff.
