I feel almost as if I’ve just had my gastric bypass. Last night I had shrimp and broccoli from my local Chinese restaurant. I ate slowly – mostly just the shrimp. And it wasn’t near as much as I have been able to eat recently. But my pouch has definitely regained some of it’s post-op [...]

Emergency Day 4: It’s Working
September 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments
The 5 Day Pouch Test is working. But it still isn’t easy or fun. Yesterday was day 3. Soft protein like scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, canned tuna or salmon. Pretty much the only thing on that list that I like was the eggs. I had a quiche at my favorite coffee shop (didn’t eat the [...]

Well, on Day 3 of my 5 Day Pouch Test, it’s getting easier. Yesterday was still tough. No solid food. By the end of the day I was tired and had a headache. I had drama practice in the evening and I could tell my brain wasn’t really in it. Today I’m up to scrambled [...]

November 25th, 2008 · Comments Off
How do you enjoy Thanksgiving dinner after gastric bypass surgery? I don’t know about you, but for me Thanksgiving dinner used to be all about the food. Everything is sooo good, and much of it is stuff you only eat during the holidays. Green bean casserole is one of my all time favorites. So is [...]

Losing My Gall Bladder Makes Me Dump More
September 29th, 2008 · Comments Off
I’m just getting over a major dump. Today started great. I went to a meeting, then went to the park to walk. 2.4 miles in 30 minutes, worked up a nice sweat. I had eggs and turkey bacon for breakfast, and have already had 2 of my 4 daily propels. Had a yogurt for mid-morning [...]

I must be about to lose a chunk of weight again – at least that’s what I hope is happening! Last night I had a serious attack from the hunger monster. I was at a friend’s house, and they had pizza. I ate one slice, then another 1/2 of a small one. Before leaving a couple [...]

It’s not been easy finding things to eat after having the gallbladder surgery. It’s getting better, but still a bit of a challenge. Enter white bean chicken chili. I love getting this stuff from Ruby Tuesday’s. But last night, I found a quick and easy way to make it at home, and everyone loved it! [...]

Living With Gastric Bypass: Eating Out And Dumping
June 23rd, 2008 · 1,875 Comments
We went out to eat yesterday. First, it’s a monumental accomplishment nowadays to find somewhere I can go and things I can eat without getting sick. That’s due more (I think) to the gall bladder issues than the gastric bypass. But you wouldn’t believe the headache I get when my husband turns to me and [...]
