Hi,

 I am almost 9 months out and I am still struggling with certain meats (red meats, beef especially) ham, ground beef, steak.  Is this normal??  Eggs are out - stomach turns and I usually vomit - strange because I loved eggs before surgery.  Tuna gags me after a few bites but if I get creative and add mustard or cottage cheese in it I usually can get it down.  Any suggestions on meats/variations/tricks is GREATLY appreciated!!  I am really liking Boston lettuce with sliced veggies topped with chicken or pork.  The scale has slowed down but consistently losing 1-2 pounds a week (71 lbs so far)!!  I feel great and I am slowing gaining back my confidence ;)  

I am well into my 3rd week post op and I need some variation in my protein drinks.  I have been drinking Premier Protein 30g, Slim Fast 10g, UNJURY 21g.  Are people making any with low carb fruits mixed in??  I need to change it up...A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE :)

Okay...made it through surgery and the first day post-op so far.  I am feeling more pressure today and the ice chips were going down good for a while.  Waves of nausea, praying I don't throw up.  Walking the halls.  Any advise???? 

Thanks in advance!

Tomorrow I begin my journey!  Today I spent the day wondering if I would mourn my favorite foods, questioning how my body will respond to fluids for 7 days...in the end it didn't matter because the excitement and anticipation of the next chapter of my life far exceeded all of that.  Surgery in 7 days - let the countdown begin!!  I have been energized by reading posts all week...thankful that others have taken the time to share.
