i wish i had a favorite food.  nothing sounds good and i rarely have the same thing more than 1 day in a row.  i have found that toast helps to sooth my stomach as do lf wheat thins.  eggs always sounds like a good idea but dont sit well.  hoping for better outcomes soon!  but I enjoy reading your posts so i can dream about food!

i have heard that beef jerky is a common treat after surgery with high protein but i am afraid to try it this soon out.  maybe i should try some!

Cheese! And chili!

I'm starting to get tired of the same things. I stay away from carbs/starchy foods. I love me some seafood. Right now my fav is crab meat with mayo and cheese heated in the microwave.

I was told my my NUT and Doc that I needed to be at 1000 calories a day, I was at about 600-800 a day and I was not loosing anything, once I added in an additional snack the scale started moving again! Maybe try adding a snack or 2 in just to bump up your calorie intake and kick you matabolism back in gear. Good Luck!!

I was told it depends on what you eat. My soup is basically broth with egg. I can eat much more of that because the liquid goes right through your stomach. I can't eat more than a few bites a meat because I feel like I'm stuffed.

The easiest way to stretch your pouch is carbonated drinks. Try eating slower? I know it's a pain but it does take 30min for the full feeling to hit your brain. Another thing that gives you a more satisfied feeling is protein, Make sure you are getting enough and it's the first you eat. I can definitely chow down on watermelon so I only have a little after one of my protein drinks.

Hope that helps. Everyone is so different. The diets each doctor has us on is so very different also.
