Managing Weight and Cravings After Hospital Stay

been home 3mos, from hosp.
tried popcorn and no problems...so far, i did eat caramel popcorn in hosp. now i remember
gained 15lbs - really dont want to gain all weight i lost - 45 lbs
gained a sweet tooth as well
still waiting for AISH, financial income support
will always wake 3x nite to drain, so continue w naps!

Good luck, Lynsie!
The different foods are a concern for some, and me.  But I tend to eat what I want cause I haven't had many issues.  The blockages issue concerned me but I eat all the foods others have had blockages with and no issues.  I do drink lots of liquid, non alcoholic, if anyone is interested.

Surgery isn't my first choice for weight loss however

Hi!

Glad you don't seem to have many problems so far! I've had my colostomy for 3 years or so and I can't eat beef - severe pain and a 'funny' tummy - fish and spices - bad wind - and some fibrous greens like cabbage - wind again!
