So I was having no problem getting my daily protein in until about two weeks ago. I went to my dr.appointment and they said my protein was low. I said there must be something wrong bc I'm getting the 65 to 70 daily. When they dug deeper they said my pr

I'm having my first cold since surgery and I wondered what type of medicine we're allowed? It's a sore throat and drainage. I was pretty sure day quip was allowed but it's doing NOTHING! 

So I had a GREAT NSV this weekend and although my family and friends shared it with me, I sometimes feel like you guys understand or appreciate it more. So....

I had a wedding this weekend and two dresses that I normally would have worn are too

I'm looking for ideas for snacks. I used to grab fruit. So easy. Now, no protein!  I looked on Shelly's and Nikki's page but I see more meal type things. I know the normal cheese, protein bars, shakes, nuts, but II'I'm mored with those. I'm looking to

How much is too much to cook with? We just bought the gadget that spirals your squash/zucchini /cucumbers and we're trying some recipes. A little booklet came with it and one recipe calls for 1/4 cup of olive oil,  garlga, and parmesan and then you top

I've seen some people post that they have jerky for a snack. Is there a brand that is best?

Also, I've seen that people eat thin additives. Is this something newbies should avoid?

I like to call it this instead if dumping. Anyway, I had an attack this morning and had to end up calling off work. I'm guessing it wasn't from my p

So I'm about 9 weeks out and I feel like I'm more hungry more often and like I can eat more. I know I was supposed to progress from 1/4c to 1/2 to a cup, but that makes me nervous. Plus I feel like sometimes I eat and then an hour and a half later I'm

I NEVER drank pop pre-surgery.....well, maybe like 1 sip a month I would crave, that's it! Now all of the sudden I am craving coke!!!! Did this happen to anyone?

Just about two months out and not getting my protein in. I'm trying SO hard. Here's what I had today. 

B-half a slice of peanut butter and banana toast  (don't normally eat bread, just needed something diff.)

S-cheese tick and 1 chunk o

I'm looking up new chicken recipes to add some variety to my life and some have a sauce which requires butter (no more than 3 tbs) and half and half  (usually no more than a 1/2 c). Is this ok or should I avoid recipes with this? I cook but I don't spi

Does anybody know of a site or store that will let you sample their protein powder? I've heard gnc but when I went there they said only if it's a same day for that brand. And their brand that they suggested was awful.

So last night I threw up right after I ate some buffalo chicken. Not sure if I ate too fast or if it was the hot sauce. Then this morning I was in the bathroom with what I call an "attack." Not sure if again it was the chicken or the fish we had for di

The family parties have already started!!!! What's your favorite go to dish to take? And yes, I have looked a egg faces website. Just looking for people's favorites. 

Is this an ok thing to eat at a party? Its pretty much just chicken and cheese and hot sauce? I know you have to be careful with the chips. Go a Triscuit route or just eat the dip by itself. Thoughts?

I'm in the full liquid stage, moving on to pureed tomorrow but for the past three days, my stomach just feels icky and everything sounds blah. I have been craving the tuna for so long and now NOTHING sounds good. I don't even want to eat. Has anyone be

So I'm on the pureed stage and I'm allowed meatballs. They were very soft and I mashed the heck out of it. I ate one and then it felt like it was stuck in my throat. I thought I ate slow enough and mashed it up enough. Thoughts??

I know I'm allowed tuna/egg/chicken salad on the pureed stage but am I allowed to put it on bread or a piece of cheese?

I'm on day 5 of 14 for full liquids and I'm already bored. I KNOW I have to do it and I know the next phase will be here soon but in the mean time, any one do anything creative during this stage? Not a huge fan of cream of wheat by the way. I know ther

I posted this on the general forum but someone suggested I post it here as well. I just had surgery Monday. I'm home now and statistically doing well. Emotionaly however I'm a wreck! I've seen tons of people post after their first week that its rough a

Please help. I just had RNY surgery Mon. I am currently at home and statistically doing well but emotionally a wreck. I KNOW I needed this surgery and was 100% ready for it but now that I'm in pain and only doing liquids I'm thinking "what in the hell

On the post "what's on your Wednesday menu?" I saw a lot of people post that they started their day with coffee.  I was told no coffee ever again! Was I told wrong or are all of you drinking decaffeinated?

Are salads allowed after surgery....after recovery time? I know we need to eat protein first, but what if it has chicken, egg, or cheese in it.
