Yea I'm on my way now to see if I can get a box of chocolate ones. I tried the vanilla, but those have like little morsels in the bottom almost makeshift think of cottage cheese or something. I tried...

I know what you mean. When I come back in to the office at work at lunch time, since I go take a nap in my car, when I come back in I smell whatever food it is, it always smells delish! I want some!!!

That may be it. Because our dietition said we cant even start on meat things like tuna until our 5th week which would be Memorial Day 5/27/13. Next Monday the 20th she said we could start on soft...

Not sure but I've read about this before on here and I know they may use calomine lotion or benadryl. Now I see that you had surgery the same day I di. My question for you is did you lose all that...

Yea, I cant wait for that before and after picture. You do look great. Keep up the good work.

Yea, I didnt get staples, I got the suture and glue as well. I did great from surgery having no pain at all. Now thats what I told a girl from my group who had surgery the same day as me. Because she...

Well my Dr said we could have tomatoe soup with milk. I never had tomatoe soup before but tried a can of Campbells tomatoe soup which says to add a can full of water, but instead I add a can of milk,...

I think it really depends on how you handle your surgery. Like I'm back to work at 2 weeks and Im fine. Alot of my co workers were telling me I should take the month off to rest cause other people...

WoW! Im on my 3rd week post op and we were told we couldn't even vacumn and your getting ready to mow the lawn!? Really? We also cant have tuna until our 5th week, although I'm sure we can, at least...

Thats great news! I know alot of us usually gain weight after surgery due to the iv and things our body takes while we are at hospital. So good news so far for you.

So your surgens office didnt give you a menu like to follow? I know on mine it was the broth, water and protein drinks, No eating for me. But every Dr is different so I think your fine as long as you...

U were just sleeved 10 days ago. Did u ask your Dietition if the Mac & cheese was ok to eat? We were able to just start yesterday on soft foods. First thing they wanted us to have was a soft cooked...

Ok, I ate my soft scrambled egg which was delish! They had me some yogurt on a plate & cottage cheese on another plate but only ate the egg and a spoonful of yogurt and I'm stuffed!

It's going to take some time I'm sure. But once you wrap your head around the actual process, like once you start your actual pre op diet, I think by then you'll be a lot stinger then. Because you...

Benadryl sounds good for itching. But normally the itching is from the nerves that were cut during surgery in the skin is healing back together which causes the itching. Luckily I have no real...

Good luck on your surgery! May you recovery well and walk and sip.
