Do you have a Vitamin for Iron yet? I have a chewable multi vitamin but it doesn't have iron in it and I think it's supposed to right?

Also, my stomach is hurting still most of the day, I'm not sure If it's from sitting at a desk, what im eating or that I'm full?? I have not really figured it out yet have u?

I am on mushy foods now but I find myself leaning towards Pasta because I don't know what to eat! And that seems to go down easy! But I know I shouldn't a). Be eating pasta . Pasta is not really a mushy :/

What are u eating these days? I meet with the nutritionist thurs so I hope she can help maybe?

I would love anyone's advice! Thanks May team! Glad everyone is doing so good!

I'm not on mushies yet but that includes meatloaf mashed potatoes, tuna, maybe meatballs. They still have it downgraded to even baby food. But along those lines. Literally foods that have to be mushed to be made. Oh scrambled eggs too

Hello All,

Day 3 for me..I am so happy. I get to put cream in my coffee. I have not been hungry or wanted anything other than a popsicle. I think I felt the most discomfort from that tube down the throat in surgery. I was hoarse and it was hard to talk for a couple days

Yesterday, I felt pretty good, but had a minor concern that one of the sites had a little red around it and I felt a bit flushed, however, I did not register a fever. This morning it looks much better and no flush.

All the newbies and soon to be bandsters, my thoughts and prayers are with you !

Good morning, how do I get the "ticker" thing that shows progress?

I am now 12 days post op, have lost 15# overall (10# prior to surgery on the pre-op diet). But I was disappointed when I tried to wear one of last summer's blouses - I'm still a bit swollen at the port site, and you could see the bruise through the blouse. but it's only been less than 2 weeks, so I guess I shouldn't complain yet, right?

I don't post often, but try to read as much of the posts as I can. Glad to hear everyone is doing great!

I actually had a food "test" over the weekend. We went to a buffet and I had about 1/4 cup of meatloaf, 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, and about the same amount of spaghetti. I mushed it all up together, took teeny tiny bites, and it took me a half hour to eat it all, making sure I put my fork down between bites. The server kept coming by and wanting to take my plate, and I just said, no, I'm a slow eater! HAHA - this time last year I would have been through TWO plates of food in a half hour and heading toward the dessert bar! I was pretty proud of myself! My husband kept looking at me worrying that I was going to throw up ~ but I had no problems at all!

Now I have to get back to work ~ ttyl! Sue

Had my surgery on Fri May 11th and all went well. Ended up having a hiatal hernia as well that was repaired. Besides some achy pain where the access port is, I am doing well, and actually seem to be down 9lbs already. I have my follow up appoint tomorrow with my surgeon and will be moved to soft food. So far so good. Hope everyone else is doing well!
