         For Protein, try Profect Protein Shots.  they have 25g of protein per shot.  I put them in my water as I have 2 a day.  That way I get 50g of protein and the rest I figure I get from food.

         Hi.  I'm also eating everything.  Well, I will try anything.  Some things don't agree with my pouch. (cottage cheese, eggs, chicken and dumplings, you never know!) I was on a stall for 2 weeks and it was awful!  I got on the scale this morning and have lost 3 lbs over night.  I did nothing different.  Everyone says that we all go through this.  Something about our bodies being in shock and hanging on to the pounds.  I try not to weigh as often.  My clothes are falling off, too.  Keep at it.  Don't get on the scale!  Kristen

         After my 5 week check up, I told the Dr. I was getting in about 400 calories a day.  He said that was not enough calories.  He never told me a calorie goal!

         Hi Wendy:
     I am fine and I hope you are the same. I had my operation on 12/3/07 in PA. Dr. Boe was my Dr. I am eating regular food. I am still having a problem getting all my protein drink down and then the amount of fluid intake that they want me to do 
. It seems that by the time I finish drinking I have no more room for the food but I am trying my best.  My scale as been in a stall state for the past 2 weeks. It goes up 2 pounds then down 1-2 pounds in the same week but does not change at all. But my cloths are all falling off of me. So I must be losing inches.
     I found a new type of cracker that I am trying. I got it at the Asian Market it is from SUN RISE PRODUCTS it is called Onion Cracker. I have 2 of them and they are real good. Something good for a change. Do you have any ideas of how I can help myself with my scale lose? I am open to any ideas.
    Hope to hear from you soon.

         Congrats on getting past your stall!  It's always nice to see the scale moving again!

         My doc says no calorie counting yet.  Not until at least 6-8 months out.  Just focus on fluid intake, vitamins, and protein.  That being said, your best bet is to call your surgeon's office and see what his specific rules are.

         OMG I had cole slaw the other day.... it was so delish and stayed just fine! I was so missing some raw veggie type things.
I also do really well with fish..... and for some weird reason mexican food.... I know not the best choice but 1/2 of an enchilada does not bother me at all!
