I assumed it was a mis-spell of "heat"vs "eat" given the next sentence :) No our bodies process protein just fine.

Protein can "denature" when exposed to high temps. Sort of like when wool shrinks if washed in hot water.

I'm in S.E. but we could internet chat if you are interested.

For me that air-like pressure means "I'm full" it also sort of feels like I need to burp. I have learned that once I feel that, I need to stop eating or drinking right then and there. Not one more bite, maybe a very small sip of water but mostly just stop and wait a while. You are right to...

It is pretty normal to be nervous before surgery. I certainly was and I am an RN! I am still just new to this whole thing but I am sure it is all worth it. I am looking forward to my thinner future with a hope I haven't felt in a long time. Hang in there. There are people who can help you and...

Hi Jill. I am just 3.5 weeks post-op. I am still in the learning phase. But glad I did this :)

I really needed to hear what you said. Thanks. :)

Thanks for sharing with me. I am still sticking to jello and broth today. The pain of trying to eat something that my tummy just doesn't want, just is not worth it.

Thank you so much for sharing. I threw up again after posting. I DID retreat to chicken broth and jello and those have stayed down and my pain is greatly reduced this evening. So I will take your advice and chew more thoroughly. Maybe because I thought the eggs were soft they didn't need to be...

Maybe the egg was bad? It happens out here.

Also I am a little depressed about this.

i just threw up for the first time :( I think what I was attributing to post-op pain is my new insides telling me it's not ready to advance the diet. I told my Dr. everything was great and she ok'd the advance. I live in bush Alaska, I just got home yesterday. Now what???? This morning I had a...

I had RNY on Sept. 13. I am off insulin and any diabetic meds. I still hurt a lot, but I know it will be worth it. Just my .02 worth

I hope there are pleasant surprises like this waiting for me. What a neat thing. This was the uplift I needed today, thank you for posting..

Well you should be home from the hospital. Post op is .......interesting. ;) I hope you are doing well.

I made it through pre-op hell!!! Had surgery last wed. 9/13 and am having a bit of increased pain, but so far I am glad I did this

I am doing great! Thanks for asking. The pain is less than I thought it would be. I am on clear liquids, going home tomorrow, passed all of the "milestones" :) I know each day will be better and better. Some how I thought I would feel different because I have just had some radical things done to...

Thank you for the support. I am nervous AND excited ;)

Thanks..... day after tomorrow! I am going to make it and I'm going to look great!

I know I will have some. Is surgery the only way to get rid of it? If I wait enough years will it shrink? I am old and have wrinkles anyway, so I am figuring shapewear is going to be my friend. Thinking about the future is helping me get through hell week :) surgery is 1 week away!!
