New Me 787

You are looking soo good

Happy mothers day

Welcome!!! Congrats on your loss first of all, sounds like you are doing AMAZING!! I'm not a big fan of milk so I had a hard time with my protein in the liquid phases. I substituted with almond milk which is more expensive, but it lasts longer, has less fat and a lot more calcium. I haven't started my pureed diet yet, I will be able to tomorrow if my doctor clears me at my post op visit. I am not a fan of cottage cheese or ricotta (unless I'm making lasagna...lol) so my Nut told me to eat low fat Greek yogurt, pudding, grits, cream of wheat, scrambled eggs (or substitute), refried beans, applesauce (which I don't eat but when I was at the grocery store I found they have several flavors, so I got strawberry), pureed veggie soup, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes. Ask your NUT and try something like that. I know what you mean about being able to "eat normal". I have been depressed as well because I am pretty social and go to dinner with friends often which I haven't much later because of my diet. Also I have to cook my daughter dinner every night and I can't eat it so she has started not eating because I'm not eating the same things with her. There is some really good support on this thread, stick around we are all here for each other :) I had the same issue about not wanting to eat with my 5 year old twins. They do share all my protein shakes and puddings so now we are all on the same diet by their choice

Thank you I will make a week tomorrow. So far I am six pounds down.

No one told me that I would have far sight vision for a couple of days after getting out of anesthesia, thought I would have to go get bi-focals when I was discharged from the hospital.

I wonder if they make a liquid biotin..or is the pill small enough to take. I worry about hair loss because I have a mild form of alopecia ,but I'm ok with wearing a wig if it comes to that. I got liquid biotin at Walgreens. SAMs had easy to swallow pills as well that tasted pretty good

I hear you it is super difficult. I had my gall bladder removed a couple of years ago so a little white lie is not an option for me

Amazing I am 5 days post op and super sore

Most definitely how sad

Yes I did sorry

I am sitting here at the hospital sipping my first Gatorade

I am one day post op in Tijuana Mexico my back has been killing me and my drain line is dore aside from that I feel pretty goof

Surgery done now in healing process

Thank you almost there at layover right now
