How do you get un-stuck?
alibra02155 replied to cyndilou29's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pineapple juice, it works, I had a problem with something being stuck. What an awful feeling, but I had some pineapple juice and it went away. Something to do with the acids in the juice help to unstick what was once stuck. Try it!! -
I am new to this but what about counting proteins, it worked for me before surgery..it is worth a shot. Good luck, sometimes we hit a plateau and then all of a sudden we start to lose again. I wish you well.

Ditto what Elfiepoo said..very tight and uncomfortable. -

Must have been the day for it, I am dying with whatever is stuck I think it is fish. Won't come up won't go down, but I did read here somewhere if you drink pineapple or papaya juice it helps....I am on my way to the store, can't stand the pressure. -

Happy New Year to all, made it through Christmas and have a dr's appt. on Wed., they will determine when my first adjustment will be. At little nervous for that but I will do this...this is for me!! -

6 days post op and have a question..
alibra02155 replied to Nikkitexasmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you're having any difficulties call your surgeon's office. Some people have pain while others have none at all, but if you are concerned call. -
What were/are you drinking in the first couple days after surgery?
alibra02155 replied to Melinco's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am the same as many of the others, broths, tea, water anything clear the first 10 days. I am now on to puree, and that is going pretty well. I am not hungry and I still haven't had a fill..or first adjustment yet. -
mushies master food list?
alibra02155 replied to thinkoflaura's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cream of wheat, refreied beans topped with a little cheese and fat free sour cream. Hummus, cottage cheese with a teaspoon of sugar free jelly. Greek yougurt..mashed sweet potatoes to name a few. -
I am Curious about...........
alibra02155 replied to Soexcited's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine were very similar, clear liquids for 11 days, mushie for another 2-3 weeks, then on to the rest of my life food. It is strict but there is a reason for it, don't want to stretch the pouch. Good luck!! -
I had my surgery Dec. 1, 2009 and am on stage 2 of the eating regiment (puree). Can I drink sugar free cocoa? Also, any suggestions for puree meals? Thanks!:thumbup:

The key to the gas pains is walking, do it as often as you can, even if it is just around the house. Time does make a world of difference, I feel really good. I hope we can share some helpful hints and find some here, these people seem very willing to help. Help and knowing you're not alone is a blessing. Keep me posted...Good luck!!!

I know how anxious you are, after I got my date it was or seemed an eternity before the surgery came. But is comes, and I will be thinking of you...a little prayer that all goes well and you will heal quickly. I didn't mention this previously but they also repaired a hernia for me so all things considered I think I am doing fairly well. Good Luck!! Keep me posted ...

Thank you, it is just so nice to know I am not alone. The idea for the broth is a good one and yes, I will try it. I have my appointment on Friday and I feel confident so here goes....thank you for you encouraging words.
