Btw, I am not in a great place either, hence the solidish foods

I have my follow up next Thursday. Glad I can bring a smile to your face

I've never been one to beat around the bush! I have taken tiny bites of things, chewing really well over the past week. Not every meal just once in a while. I'm sure you saw my post about the pork last night. I ate some, really not thinking about it, and am okay today. I didn't have any ill effects at all. Hopefully I didn't f up my staple line. Didn't think about that at all till later. Today I made some canned chicken salad and egg salad. I tasted both as my Breakfast thinking they were okay. Oops, I will blend them later. Btw, canned chicken looks super nasty until you do something- anything with it. Lol I am really trying to keep my sense of humor about this. I just miss eating what my family eats, KWIM? When was your surgery?

Thanks!

I did it once. After reading responses, I didn't do it again.

I made my family pork tenderloin for dinner and ate a piece with out thinking! It was small and I chewed really well. Am I going to ruin my small belly and have a leak?

I'm good. I made my family pizza for dinner so I took some ricotta cheese, sauce and a little mozzarella put it in a ramekin and baked it. It was so good. I could only eat half but a few hrs later I ate the rest. This is technically a purée, but I am moving up Friday anyway.

I lost 11 on my 10 day pre op diet, but the other 20 are since the 21st.

OMg, I'm shocked! But on the other hand, when your only ingesting a few hundred calories a day it's inevitable, right? How do some of you get in 1000 or more?

The 21st

Well the creamy shrimp bisque was delish! I actually bought a bunch of other ones on amazon that are used. Wayyyyyy cheaper!

I bought the cookbook 'eating well after weight loss surgery' by Levine and Bonypo- Saray. It looks fantastic. Making my first meal tonight.

When do you move up? I'm full liquids with a little purée thrown in till Friday. Then full on purée. I bought Lipton noodle soup and drink that broth. It has a different flavor and the noodles sink so no worries there. Jello? My husband made some the other day for his son that has evaporated milk in it to make it creamy. I didn't have any but they thought it was good.

Lol I had a feeling you would! My husband told me I feel like a different person. Loving this!

Lol I have gotten on everyday! Some days I was a bit higher than the previous day. But all in all it's been a downward slope. I would have asked them to buy a scale. I just had to know lol.

Thanks! I haven't started working out yet. But I do walk....a lot. Maybe I'll try some of those higher calorie protein drinks. Good idea, thanks!

Thanks, just ordered one.

Do any of you have a medical alert bracelet? I think I read somewhere that this is important after bariatric surgery. Thoughts?

I take a few baby spoons of liquid food ( pears in the blender with the pear juice today) and it feels like I'm done. Is it possible to get that squeezing after just that?

Thanks,! I walk all the time now too

I woke up this am and found my self at 252. After my shower around noon I was 247. Lol try weighing at a different time.

I've had a twinge under my left boob all day.

Oh wow....I can still feel it 1/2 hr later. This sucks. Maybe I'll just wait to get hungry to eat. I'm trying to do 3 meals and 2 snacks.

I am having a heck of a time trying to get food in. 1 wk post op yesterday and cant seem to take in much. The protein shakes give me incredible diarrhea, so I've been trying yogurt. The issue, I can only get maybe 2 oz in before I get horrible chest pain. I wish protein came in a pill!

My TJs is really reasonably priced. I love everything there!!
