shelly22 50 Posted June 23, 2013 Any body in the New Orleans area? I would love to have someone in my area going through the same thing. I would like to know how you are dealing with life in the city of NO. I am so tired of people trying to feed me. I can't eat it' date=' but thanks. The food smells so good but I do not want any of it. It is a hard adjustment to not eat at gatherings. That was the one think good about life here. Food. I feel like I almost have a food aversion. Nothing really taste good. So sick of bland foods. I did enjoy my red Beans yesterday. I am excited that I can eat some puree shrimp this week.[/quote'] Hey I live in New Orleans...it's sad to say but everything we do in New Orleans is evolved around food. I cant wait to be able to eat red beans again.. 1 MsBadu504 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlimDreams 175 Posted June 23, 2013 No worries...do you mind if I ask..why does your surgeon recommend zero carbs? 1 onegenericdude reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SheWins1 207 Posted June 23, 2013 No worries...do you mind if I ask..why does your surgeon recommend zero carbs? Because it's to help shrink the liver and I should only be eating "good"carbs....if that makes sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H&H 13 Posted June 23, 2013 I finally had my first solid today after surgery on the 11th. Up til then they were few and far between and not solid. I haven't had a solid yet. I was the same day as you. Are you still on liquids only? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
