Hey ash.....what are you going to eat for your soft foods....I will be at soft foods on Thursday.

eggs, cottage cheese, egg salad, tuna salad. I have to do some research but that was why I asked about the scallops. Eating one scallop would be so heavenly but I don't want to push!

A friend of mine that had the bypass said to start taking Miralax everyday. Said the generic is just as good too. I am going to try that starting Monday

I seem to have periods of 3-4 days where I don't go. Pre- surgery I was going twice a day.

I was cold until I upped my calories from 6-700 to 900- 1200 . I was stalled for two weeks increased my calories and Fluid and started losing again. It may not work for everyone but it did for me. Now I'm not cold anymore.

This is the dumbest question but here goes........

Would scallops counts as a soft food? I'm sure I'm reaching heh? Lol! :-)

I has surgery on 1/18 and am in the soft food stage. I had sea scallops for dinner last night and had no problems. However, I haven't had any problems with any drinks, Vitamins or the few foods I have tried so far.

Everyone is saying to stop eating when you start to feel full. I have to stop before that and take a break. I think it takes me longer than most to realize I am full. I am trying to eat really slowly. I feel like I am probably able to eat more than most. I had 2 1/4 sea scallops last night plus a few small bites of mashed potatoes. The night before I had about 2/3 of a small pintos and cheese from taco bell. In both cases I stopped before feeling full and then a few minutes later, I definitely feel full. The fullness is 100% in my stomach. I have never had that stuck feeling in my chest that people describe -- with food or liquid. Am I the only one?

So did you increase your calories then drop back down when you started losing again?? I'm so frustrated!

I stopped loosing weight :mellow: and my surgeon asked me to do blood work last week. It turned out that my thyroid that has been stable for the past 5 years slowed down. Now I am waiting for the docs to give me a new dosage. I am really sad! Did anybody have a problem like this?

I have a question to the January sleevers....have you noticed that you can swallow more liquid at one time and do you still have the fuzzing at the top of your stomach when you eat? I am 11 days out and I can swallow almost normal and I barely feel the fizzing iny stomach when I eat. Just checking to see if this is normal.

I'm also 11 days out and yes swallows are easier but I woke up horribly nauseous, I haven't had that at all.

      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.
