I had surgery may 6th started at 291 and down to 266. Was on clear liquids and protein shakes until I returned back to work four days ago. Pureed is good but I feel like im eating a lot. Im not exercising like I'd like. Just walking 3 times a week during my breaks and took a 4 mile walk yesterday. Ive tried a few recipes for pureeds and my favorite is bean bacon soup with light sour cream. Soups are the best but I am hating my protein shakes.
