Update and some ???? Help!

[Guest guest]

Howdy all, Well its been 5 weeks post op (open gastric bypass) now

and I feel pretty good, I have lost 50lbs so far and happy about that

but I am finding it boring with the soft food diet I have to eat, I

like fish and eat that and cheese is good too so don't mind that but

I am not sure I am getting the right amount of protien I should what

is the average amount we need???? And anyone that has some helpful

hints about eating things would be appreciated. I have been craving

some toast but not sure I should try it yet? I am not a big breakfast

person and find it hard to eat hot cereal it just dont go well for me

and I cant seem to eat eggs to much because I get the hives if I do

any other breakfast suggestions? Also ANYONE from the Wisconsin area

who has had the bypass I would love to communicate one on one with if

they dont mind. I don't get online much to write but I do read most

of the posts and I try and keep up with email at least once a day so

anyone interested in chatting and sharing ideas I would love it.

Other than that I seem to be doing pretty good have a hard time with

constipation but I think from the dairy products. Also when do you

normally get to eat fresh veggies again and salads i sure do miss

that type of stuff. And does anyone know how to make home made tortia

chips (spelling for **it sorry). Well I hope all else is well and if

I can help anyone with how it feels to go through the open surgery

just let me know. Thanks for all the great help I have recieved so

far.
