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

[shortsleevedkay 28]

I am the opposite also....I had been going to the bathroom ever since the day after surgery...and I go 1to 2 times a day.

[Mystie 146]

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

Jan 9th DOS down 27 lbs as of today!! I'm really happy only 5 weeks out.

[bramptonian 9]

I find I'm cold all the time now since my surgery. Especially my hands and feet. Anyone else??

[loveabledeeuk 20]

I'm just freezing cold in general especially my feet, at night it takes me ages to get warm to be able to sleep.< /p>

[fonally 108]

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!

[mtokay 5]

I stopped loosing weight 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?

[shortsleevedkay 28]

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.

[janarae 93]

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