Topic: RE: Favorite Food
Try the dreyers sugar free fruit popsicles, all natural. They are great, 25 cal. The bigger ones, pomegranete is great are 60 cal. I'm supposed to be on pureed foods still. All the diets are so different. I have been eating yogurt and hot-n-sour soup (basically broth with egg and tofu.) I have eaten watermelon also, basically chewed enough, there is nothing left! I tried pureed meats, couldn't handle the texture.

I do think I eat too much soup but it's basically water. The 6 ounce yogurt takes so long to eat, I get bored with it. I have yet to fill hungry or full but I think my incision making me fill sick to my stomach is the reason for that.

Topic: RE: Problem with Incision
I was told that I would be back in water PT 3 weeks after surgery. The reason I haven't been online is because my incision above my belly button busted open. I now have 2 holes that get packed w/gauze twice a day. It's a bit uncomfortable to sit & type. I am really bummed. I was told 6-8 weeks for it to heal.

The thing I am finding hard is not only missing my PT, it helps with the pain, but the pain in my stomach makes me feel not like eating anything. Do you guys have this too?  I have only lost 6 pounds since surgery.  I see my doctor wednesday.

I hope all of us heal much faster than 8 weeks! I don't want to miss summer!

Take care,
Chrissy

I haven't started a lick of exercise yet

I had a really rough week with LOTS of nausea.  And now a sinus infection.  Once I start to really feel better I intend to get in a walking groove.

Topic: What do you drink?
 Right now all I'm drinking is water usually w/ a lemon wedge in it. I also have my daily Boost High Protein bottle. I need something w/ some more flavor occasionally.

Topic: RE: Favorite Food
 I've got a sports bar virtually in my front yard so I go there a lot. The bartenders there know that I've had surgery and have been really supportive. One of them even did some research and figured out what I should and shouldn't eat. I went one day and she told me here's the menu and I've marked the things that you can order. I got a lemon pepper grouper and mixed veggies. I hate about 2/3 of it before she came over and said that's enough. I was full and slowing down...she saw that and reacted. I haven't had any problems yet w/ anything I've eaten and plan to take things in moderation.

Topic: RE: 4-5 wks out..what are you eating?
 Hey guys. Newb here. Just had surgery April 15 and haven't officially been cleared for a wide open diet but have tried some ground beef w/ no problems. I've also had some cold cut chicken and turkey in a wrap w/ no problem. Generally I eat a lot of pasta w/ some veggies mixed in...SF pudding...eggs and toast...lots of fruit like watermelon and pineapple....also a lot of shrimp cooked different ways and some different types of fish. 

What really boggles the mind is how little I can eat now before getting full. I've learned to stop when full otherwise it's just uncomfortable.

the first time I ate a slice of cucumber it didn't sit well....didn't get sick, just uncomfy. But after they soaked in pickle juice, it was super nummy =)

And I've been doing watermelon with no problems.
