So I woke up today feeling good! Decided to weigh myself because I havent in a few days. Just wanna see where Im at before my follow up Dr. appointment tomorrow. The last time I weighed' date=' I was 291 and I was stuck there after only a week and a half! Today I am 285lbs. Soooo excited to see the scale move. Down 18lbs in 15 days, and a total of 55 since August. Feeling good about myself for the first time in a very long time. Hope everyone is feeling awesome and has a great day! [/quote']

Torn rags soup..like my grandma used to make for the babies..was a nice lunch. Bring chicken broth to a boil...scramble an egg in a cup...pour into the boiling chicken broth whip up with a fork to keep the egg really soft while on mush/liquids... got the Protein if an egg and some from the broth. Nice warm and filling.

Is this 1cup of broth to one egg?

Heya

How you all doing? I am 3 weeks post op and I have to say I find this whole business much tougher than I thought it would be.

I don't know what to eat! I cannot stomach any porridge stuff so what to have for Breakfast? ? I am also lactose intolerant so I cannot have yogurt or any milk' date=' makes me so so nauseous.

What are you others living off? I can feel that I am not getting enough nutrients in as I am very low and down. Any tips??

I've lost about 22 pounds since the op.

It is the only one I could stand to drink too! Today I tried the Cookies and cream one and I didn't care for it. Guess I better stick to the banana cream. I feel like I am eating all of the time but I am soooo thirsty! Congrats on 20 Lbs!! That is awesome!

I need to find another one as the banana is making me gag now. I seriously sound like Chunk off the Goonies after each sip. This sucks!!

Had surgery on April 10th wednesday home by April 12th friday. sore of course when i got home but no bowel movement for ten days turns into small bowel obstruction. back in hospital on april 17th wednesday a week later and surgery again. woke up with a nasogastric tube a g tube with drainage bag. they capped off naso tube on sunday until then only ice chips which didn't start until friday. now after the first surgery was tired and a little weak but now when i get a little tired or short of breath i can sit down for a few minutes and i am ready to go again it is the weakness that is worst than before. right now may 6 I still have the g tube which has been great for taking Meal Replacements and Water into because the smell of the Meal Replacement causes my stomach to turn. and i can crush all my vit and other meds and put them in my tube. only foods that i have been able to eat since surgery is small curd cottage cheese, greek yogurt, tuna, Jello and pickles. i tried to eat grilled chicken and veg beef Soup after each bite i felt it stop in my throat and i didn't feel relief until i regurgitated it. I have no appetite so guess it is just better for me to continue meal replacements and Protein Powder and drink my water. Was told that the g tube would be in for 6 weeks. don't really mind it because i can push the meal replacement mixed only with water through my tube. If i didn't have it i would have mixed the meal replacement with skim chocolate milk like i did pre surgery.
