Me too, me too!!!!! When I was pre-op and the first 3-4 weeks post op I bet I drank 4 cups of hot tea a day during the 9 hours I was at work. I'd just sip my day away. Post op Water tasted funky to me so tea saved my butt.....and my monster pouch was appeased. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

Hot tea kept me sane when I was on liquids (decaf). I kept it around to sip on almost all day. A variety of favors, plus it kept me warm HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

You CAN do this!!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

fingers crossed!!! Good luck! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

I look funky!!!! Too short to straighten with the flat iron, can't keep the sprouts pulled back,don't hate me because I beautiful!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

Foam irks are typically a sign of irritation. Your body is producing mucus to lubricate and help something pass through. I haven't had them with my bypass but used to get them all the time with my band. If I had a bite that was too big or didn't chew well, ate too much, or ate something that globbed up and wouldn't pass. I can't imagine why cottage cheese wild be a problem, particularly 4 hours later. Did you eat anything else with it that could have obstructed? Feel well soon!

At 6 weeks you should be able to eat more. I was adding salads an veggies by then without problem. I vote call your doc, he needs to take a peek and make sure you don't have a structure or something else. If it was just occasionally I'd say maybe it's what you're eating or how you're eating but if it's every time then something isn't rightZ good luck!!!

And next....pumpkin baked oatmeal. Made it for tomorrow but we cheated and taste tested. It's a little bit of heaven, kind of custardy but has the heaviness of oatmeal. I used 1/2 scoop syntax vanilla bean Protein and 1% milk, added a dash of salt as well and 2 teaspoons of truvia instead of stevia. Per MFP the full serving is 238 calories with 28 carbs (6 are fiber) and 26 grams of protein. I'll only be able to eat half of it and I'll pour 1/2 cup warmed 1% milk over the top. (So roughly170 calories, 20 carbs (3 fiber) and 17 protein including the milk. Hopefully enough protein to keep me from dumping! We'll see. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

It does get better, just repeat this a zillion times. Plus it is so totally worth it . Good luck! You CAN do this!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

Yup, with my doc you can have low fat or fat free sour cream as soon as you go home from the hospital. I ate A LOT of retried Beans with cheese, salsa, and sour cream. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

We made it as 1 big pie, it's ALMOST done baking and boy does it smell yummy! Will give a critique as soon as it cools off. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

I lived on mine. Even took it to work the first ,onto (I was only off a week and a half). Had virtually no gas pain plus the post-op muscle pain was very well controlled. Two thumbs up from me! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

You just click on serving size and select which you'd prefer then under that is number of servings, frequently my number of servings is 0.25 or 0.33. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198
