Fabulous February Post-Op's

[Cecilia 201]

Slow learner, I guess:

I have finally figured out that the minute a bite of food feels the least bit uncomfortable, I have to stop eating until the pain stops. And if it doesn't, my meal is over.

Having figured this out, I learned that the first bite of just about anything that isn't still pureed hurts a little. If I wait 5-10 minutes, I usually can finish my meal at a more normal pace and everything feels fine and stays down. I wonder why *starting* to eat is so uncomfortable, but whatever. I can live with this. At work it's been amazing. I was so afraid of criticism, but 99% of people have been supportive, complimentary, etc.

DAMN it feels good to lose weight!!

Did you throw up the fish only or all of it? Maybe you have an issue with cheese? Maybe broccoli being a tougher veggie your not ready for? Was the tilapia breaded?

Someone mentioned a meatball sub, I could totally go for one sans bread!!!

Silly question: do you think if we start losing our hair' date=' how about the hair on our legs? Hope that stops too. ( just a thought). [/quote']

Hahahaha, I was thinking the same thing. I was shaving the other day!

[RVinMomma 32]

I hate Protein Shakes, gag a maggot!! But I have found something I like! Syntax nectar lemonade mixed with crystal light lemonade and the crystal sky mixed with crystal light fruit punch. So yummy! And not milky or thick. They are like juice.< /p>

Yeah so about 1/3 of a mojito and I was spinning.....I've never been much of a drinker but that was a record even for me!!!! The lettuce wraps (okay singular wrap) was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

As long as you're tolerating fluids I would probably just watch it for a couple days and stick with a very bland liquid diet. If you can't keep fluids down, are having a lot of pain, or continue getting sick I'd call my doc for sure!!!
