How are you doing?

Kbush: I am doing well. In fact I think I have been doing too much. I cooked a nice dinner for my family yesterday, went got my hair done and was trying to do a little house work. I will be glad when the soreness go away. I only hurt when I'm I get up and sit down Or trying to get comfy in bed. Other than that all is well. How about you?

Mag citrate would be taken to help you gave a BM (poop).

The dizzy/weakness could be from lots of things.... blood loss, low blood sugar, blah blah blah

Not sure when you had your surgery but make sure you get in your Protein, stay hydrated and be very careful walking, stooping, or bending etc...best to have help!

Need mushies help!

I need some ideas for no or low carb mushies. All I'm eating is carbs: mashed potatoes, grits, oatmeal....I get 0 veggies and very little fruit. Please help me with some ideas!!! As of today I can move on to eggs, tuna, and chicken - all very finely chopped. Thanks!

Tuna, chicken salad, I have also had wendy's chili in the blender. still tastes good. that also gives you Protein.< /p>

Split. Pea or Lentil Soup is high Protein. Cottage cheese, Vegetarian retried Beans, Broccoli and Cauliflower mixed with broth for flavor. Gerber baby food, meats and vegetables only. Non-fat, sugar-free yogurt if it Has fruit in it make sure you use a blender.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
