So happy for you! As for the dumping....it happens to all of us, it will pass, and we learn from it!

I bet you could add a protein shot for some of the liquid in the popsicles too.

I had my surgery done in Rochester, MN. I find it interesting that Minnesota has no face to face support groups (that I have been able to find anyway). My journey is new to me, but I am excited about it so far. I am down 27# since surgery and am starting the soft diet this week :). I was excited...

I am wondering if this is related to your anxiety my dear.....

You may just be drinking it to fast....

You have a good head on your shoulders, and it sounds like your husband is going to be a great support for you! This journey may cause some initial anxiety, but it is exciting also. Also, maybe you can invite your husband into the kitchen with you when cooking, make it a team effort!

Greetings Mary...and welcome to the forum. The feelings you are having are all normal, we here have all had them, so you are not alone. One thing I want you to think about is how food has controlled you. WE ate when, where, how much, and what whenever you wanted to...even when you weren't...

I have really missed cooking since having surgery, plus buying Greek yogurt for the extra protein is expensive....so, I went in search of a recipe to make it! This recipe starts with a half gallon of milk (I used skim), but I wanted to start out small, so I used 4 c. of skim. I also added 2/3...

Well welcome to the site Pammy. Where did you have your surgery done?

Great Job!

I recommend myfitnesspal.com also!

I can't wait to try this!

I was getting a bit tired of my protein drinks and decided I needed to kick them up a notch. I love Eggnog, so after some research I made my own recipe from the information I found, and its delicious! 3 cup 1% Low Fat Milk, Skim, or Soymilk 3 large Eggs Eas - New 100% Whey Protein...

Welcome, and big congrats on the weight-loss!

My doc told me to expect to be out of work for 6-8 wks. I had surgery 2 wks ago today and I feel great so far. Don't rush it, sometimes the doctor knows best :p

So glad to hear your are doing so much better!!

I tried one last time today to try and eat some pureed Meat. I can't do it! The texture, plus the taste when I eat it gives me the "willies"! I have tried mixing it with soups and even mashed potatoes....but nothing can hide it. I am thinking of trying to eat some just cut up, slowly and...

Went to the DT today. They have Chicken of the Sea Premium Pink Salmon and Albacore Tuna in the foil pouches!!!! They also have Mott's 100% Veg Juice (same as V8). Go get some!!

What you are feeling is completely normal! I started a notebook with questions I had for my "team", even up to the day I went home from the hospital. Read and learn as much as you can!

Sounds like it is time for some more therapy mom. Reconnect with whomever she saw pre-surgery and ask for some recommendations. Only she can change how she feels about herself.
