I had my surgery on July 2nd, I had lots of after surgery pain due to the Gas, and whatever afterwards. I was in my back and shoulders. I ws also not able to get much down for a while. I actually had to have fluid removed on my first post op visit, Since then, things have been well.. last week, I started to have loose bowls, and loose stool. My Back and shoulder pain is back like it was when I had gas from post op.. I also seem to have alot of grumbling going on in my belly.. I never had issues before eating early in the AM, but guess what, thats now seemed to change. I havent forced food down, been trying to eat small portions and in the correct order... The only thing different is that I had my first few drinks this past weekend but I wsa already feeling like this prior,,, Has anyone been in this same boat? I feel hungry, in pain, naucious, and could make a b-line to the boys room at anytime it seems like...

IVE BEEN TOLD THAT ALL NUTS ARE A NO NO.. I was told by my Dr. Dr Simpson that nuts dont break down and small bits can get stuck in the pouch and cause complications. He said just best to avoid all types of nuts.. And he is pretty liberal on what you can and cannot eat..

Im at the beginning of week 4, and been there.. My Dr, told me that after week one, I could experiment with softer foods. Runny Mashed Potatoes, Cottage Cheese, Wendys Chilli, what really helped me out was Runny Cream of Wheat especially in the evening when I didnt feel full or satisfied and was still hungry, Yogurt, Beans. I made some of my favorite CHUNKY soups and just an imulsion blender and blended it.. TUNA was the first solid I could get down without issue but slowley.. Roasted Veggies I could eat.. the time will pass.. it will be worth it in the end.. Drinking something warm like Tea before you eat something more solid helps relax your muscles and has worked for me.. I was also able to eat Eggs after about 13 days,., Apparently some people struggle with eggs but so far so good with me.,
