Thank you to all who have replied! It's nice to hear that I'm normal! I really can't wait till I can have some kind of food even if it is baby food...mushy foods...lol. I'm thinking about trying either soy or lactate milk. I sorta want to try regular milk things again but I'm scared to cause dumping. To the person (sorry can't remember your name) who asked what milk I use it's skim milk. I changed to skim 2 weeks before surgery. To the person (again can't remember your name) who asked if I can have cream soups...I can't...not until 3 weeks post-op. I'm having chicken broth...fun fun. My mother had the surgery in 1999 and she said this is normal to go through also. I have talked to her about a lot of what I'm going through but she went through it soooo long ago. So some things she can't remember.
Thanks again!!!
-Sandy
