Hi Sandie, your meal plans sounds just like mine was, it was doable, the first couple of days was a little rough but once I had a routien down it was simple but it was the little snakcs that made it bearable, like Donna, I too liked to drink some hot broth or bullion, it seemed flavor and warm...

Peaches are good. I could only have pureed or liquid type foods for the first few weeks but I had the RnY so our meal plans are probobly different but the peach juice is more than likely causing the discomfort, try peach yogury ar blending peaches into a vinilla protien shake and see if you like...

Hi Jessica, Welcome. The change in tastebuds is normal and happens to all of us to some extent, that is why it is suggested to not stock up onb protien drinks until after surgery and you find out what tastes good. I have heard that some folks develope an allergic rash from the tape that is used...

Have you tried ice water or hot water (cup O coffe hot:o). It does happen to some of us, luckily fluids only feel uncomfortable when I drink to fast so I have learned to drink slower, most of the time. :cool: Tom

Hi Kim N.

Hi JGriffin, I agree with FKRebs, give your doctor a call and get checked out to make sure everything is ok, your pouch shouldn't have shrunk but ther may be some scaring that has tightened up your pouch, there is a name for the condition and they can do something about it if that is what is...

Hi BamaBaby, My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it. :cool: Tom

Hi Kim, You'll do fine.

Hi Donna. Yes you shpould eventually be able to eat those things as long as they agree with you:o I think mixed nuts and peanuts are the preferd snack foods among the nutritionists because they have protien and healthier fats that we can matabalize better, popcorn is ok but it has no protien and...
