Said no one ever...

I guess everyone's surgery really is different - I had mine a week before you and can't even eat half a cup over a two-hour span. Literally, I just hit my limit and no matter how much I want to eat the last tablespoon of chili, no go. One word of caution: from what I understand, bread in particular swells once it's in your stomach, so even if you initially fit it in it may expand from there. We're both in the very early stages of healing and even when diverging from the meal plan, there are probably certain things we shouldn't eat because it's an actual risk to healing. Bread and grains likely fit in that "absolutely no-go" category. (full disclosure: I had a mini Cadbury Creme Egg today. No one's perfect.)

Thanks for sharing MattyMatt. I think all of us may have times when we slip up and think we are a failure for doing so. It’s helps when people like you share so we don’t feel alone when it happens to us.

Oh wow that’s a more interesting list than mine !!! I’m scared of anything thick right now ! I even let my pudding thin out a little . I also am eating unsweetened apple sauce .

I have not done puréed soup or fruit smoothie as I am just not sure I should be having on day 5 after surgery. Bit afraid :-(

No problem. Have a wonderful day . Sent from my Nexus 5 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my surgery on February 13 this year and surgery went fine. I lost about 45 pounds to date and did not have any issues. I’m trying to prevent stalling because the weight was coming off pretty regularly and now it has drastically slowed down. I burn about 700 cal a day and my energy is fine. My main issue is getting enough calories. I consume on average about 500-600 cal a day if I’m lucky. I get 90-100 g of protein mostly from shakes. I never get hungry and forget sometimes to eat. I’m not looking to consume more food just raise my calories but I am worried about stalling. Did anyone stall because of too few calories and if so what did you do to balance it?

I already feel like a short order cook. The 4 yr old hates anything that forces him to use silverware and the 18 month old only has 8 teeth. Lots of separate meals here. Your family will survive. There are lots of ways to have healthy simple meals. Breakfast for dinner is a fast favorite. Yogurt, fruit, eggs, whole wheat toast/pancakes. Fill the freezer with trader joes. You not eating with them is temporary. You said you are married, sounds like something your husband should worry about while you sit on the couch with a protein shake. Don't EVER be ashamed of your body. I am fat and still swim with my kids. Trust me, I have seen A LOT of people naked (RN); we are all a mess. Perfection only exists in airbrushed magazine covers.

That might be pretty close to the truth. One of its users decided to DUID in my neighborhood after smoking it. He plowed into a minivan at over 100 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. Destroyed an entire family.
