@@gpmed I just began the mashed phase bu not fully on it as I should still be on heavy liquids. You are right about Protein, I ate today Beans, and cravings disappear right after I eat protein; however, I still crave food often, at least 50% of my day my head is thinking of different foods it is missing. I have an event that I am looking forward to looking much thinner in, and hopefully will fit into a certain outfit...thinking of this helps me ignore my cravings.

I have an incredible desire to bite and chew food. How have you delt with this?

Oh god 5 weeks and 7 weeks! Uff! What I did is move to the mashed phase early and eat raw vegan chocolate ice cream which helps a bit. My head hunger goes down a bit after eating something sort of normal. But u should see how I look at salad and meat I really hope some1 has a trick up their sleeve!

I am just starting my mashed stage, and I noticed that nothing tastes right. Everything sweetish needs to be more sugary, and potato Soup tastes incredibly starchy, chicken broth has an aftertaste...etc. fruit juice is the only thing that tastes good.

Thanks )

Hi All, I am beginning my mashed phase, and there is this pudding recipe I want to try but it requires about a tablespoon of starch. Have you used starch in your recipes?

Huh interesting! I wonder why that is. Sent from my GT-N7100 using the BariatricPal App

Good luck I should shift in monday but I am already on milk and Cappuccino so I will shift on Sunday Please keep in touch we can encourage each other

Can u suggest idwas for meals?

My doctor told me that I can consume natural sugars from fruit and diet artificial sweetner only. My problem is that I hate the taste of diet sweetners...I always opted for natural alternatives such as agave or use dates to sweeten recipes. Have u tried any of them in your diet? I have been fine so far and terrified of risking an episode. Sent from my GT-N7100 using the BariatricPal App
