Question HI All WLS 4/30/08

HI Everyone,

I am just alittle over three weeks out and feel pretty good. I have alittle trouble with the pureed food so can someone tell me if I am doing the right thing. (my appt. with surgon is 29th) I have a protein shake for breakfast, then sip on water for a while, lunch is abot a cup of soup, then more water. snack is a 6 oz yogurt. more water! then dinner is 3 tbls protein i.e ground chicken, fish, or cottage cheese. and 1 tbls. pureed carrots,or applesauce ect. more water. then around 8pm another shake.and then of course more water. I can't seem to eat the three meals that the dietitation recomends. I seem to get stomach pains after the soup and after dinner. I think it's gas. I did have a bout of constipation when I first went on pureed food but I upped my water and all seems ok now. Thanks to all I hope to figure out how to put my WL ticker on soon. My weight at surgery was 288. I'm 272 right now.


Thanks, Effie
