Me too! I thought I was just being strange but I realized that I'm enjoying spicy food more that I did presurgery. And I've had a few stuck episodes recently but I never get stuck with food that has a kick. I wonder why that is?

Maybe spice gets the digesyive juices going?

This is what happens when my husband is at annual training with the military. My son clogs the drain with tons of toilet paper. Nothing seems to work so I decide to do one last thing before calling a professional. Without details...it was disgusting! That seemed to do the trick. I finish all of my other household chores and then discover that my ring is missing!!!! I back track...can't seem to find it. Now I think I see something shiny in the drain. I call my dad and he tells me what to do. What do I find.....a shiny dime, marble and a shoelace. Really son! Now I can't put the darn pipes back together. I think I broke it. I'm happy I've shed some pounds but I didn't think I would lose my ring. I need to find it before he gets home :o

I really hope your ring turns up safely. What a horrid day you have had. How things get better from here :-)

I am working so hard to get my Protein amounts up. I think the most I have done is 55. I am so sick of Protein Shakes and things that are sweet!

I am stalling right now so I know I have to get those numbers up.

Two Words.... Beef Jerky

High protien, low fat , low carbs, if you hunt around for a lower sodium brand they do exist

i have jack links currently ... not the best in sodium but since i only nibble on it an a bag lasts a week it seems to balance out

I keep hearing I should try it. I just have a hard time with even the thought of it. meat is way more than I can handle with the chewing... I can imagine I would need to chew jerky much more

Beef Jerky helps me too. It gives my jaw muscles something to work on and it seems to help me get full quicker. I'm bad to stress eat so knawing on jerky like a cave chick works for me. ;o)

I will be 8 weeks out come this Monday and this Monday will be my first day back at work, I'm back on liquids because I tried to eat a shrimp this past Monday, it got stuck now I'm back to liquids for a few weeks, I'm beginning to think I'm having a problem with eating, I spoke to my nurse today and he said my stomach is right and if this continues after 12-14 weeks out, he will scope me, to open me up a bit, but he seems to think I'm just healing slower than others, and I agree...Well, I will wait and see, I do ok on pureed food, but when it's time to chew and swallow, there's a problem.

Tried something new this morning to boost the Protein intake a little, in my morning Greek yogurt I added 1/3 scoop of unflavored Unjury Protein Powder. I let it sit a few minutes so the crystals smooth down but couldn't even tell it was there and I added 8g of protein.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
