Can you eat soft food yet? I can't tolerate any of the shakes-- they make my face sweat and then I have to run to the bathroom. I do fine with plain milk' date=' but not the shakes.< /p>

I am getting a lot of Protein from soft turkey meatballs, soft fish, chicken, hummus, custards.[/quote']

No I'm on puree foods until April 1st

During purée I made chicken tenders in crock pot with cream of mushroom soup--2 cans--and some fresh mushrooms and carrots. Cooked it for 5 hours on low. My family loved them over potatoes and I puréed mine in blender. Not bad. The world according to egg face blog has some great recipes for puréed foods. I also ate a lot if puréed Soup.< /p>

At long last I am passing gas...please let me go home today!!!

So I've been on oral pain medications since early yesterday. About 20 minutes after I got a dose late this morning I got dizzy' date=' queasy, clammy, thought I was going to puke and pass out. Got some Zofran which helped queasy a bit but still felt like hell for a couple hours....almost had to be the pain medication. Lord I hope I'm not one that dumps on every thing they eat....that would suck!!![/quote']

So I'm having issues with my Protein drinks... Yesterday I tried my chocolate flavored whey drink with PB2 and I got sick...didn't throw up thank goodness' date=' but it knocked me out of commission for the whole day. I was wondering when the time comes has anyone had Protein Bars instead of the powder...I just can't handle the drinks. They're like torture to me.[/quote']

I do bars instead of drinks. I use pure protein and Power Crunch bars low sugar and high protein....

No I went into a-fib the day after my surgery and I was on Coumadin for blood clots before surgery and had to do a bridge with Levonix shots before and after surgery but I had another problem a week after surgery I had Fluid and bleeding in my stomach so had to stop Coumadin & Levonix and my heart beat and rate are not regular beat

Sounds like an EPS or Cardioversion procedure... You will do fine and feel so much better:-)

So after trying on 4 shirts before dinner Tuesday I've decided this weekend I am putting an old laundry basket in my closet, if I try something on and it looks frumpy it goes in the basket to donate....curious how quickly the closet will get cleaned out and 'force' me to purchase more clothes!
