I like the ricotta cheese bake, it's like lasagna without the noodle. You could make the real for them and bake yourself some minus the noodles and you don't even have to purée it! Also, refried beans with sour cream, guacamole , and hummus...you can make the family tacos and make yours up different. Chicken and tuna salad is good and Lots of protein.

Good question....I will wait with you for responses....

@@Jackie Pulleine I have BCBS Federal

@@BLERDgirl *completely off subject* BUT I just noticed your from PA! My last 3 nursing contracts where in PA! York, and Littlestown! I like PA, but I do not however like applesauce with everything lol!" it's Pennsylvania Dutch"

@@Luvin_Life125 Sorry forgot to "mention"you in that, I got all excited about the bra!

Woohoo! Enell is the best sports bra, thanks OPRAH! She recommended them years ago and thanks to her big mouth I had to wait 3 months to get mine! Completely sold out! It's the only sports bra that will hold my 34 DDD in the right place! It's not the most flattering look on the girls all smashed down but oh freakin well! I like Zumba I like anything I can shake my lovely lady lumps around to ( while I still have them anyway) I also like Pilates! I'm pretty Dang flexible for a curvy chick! And I like the good ol walking with my daughters! Mother daughter time...unless they start talking about boys at school. Then I like running, running home to lock myself in my room ha!! J.j I Can't run! (Yet)

Love!

Swanson make yummy broths like hot n sour, Thai ginger, Mexican tortilla, jambalaya.....ect.

@@swmann12 Hummm well you should be worried about a lot of things at this point. You need to figure out why you would defy the surgeons Orders and eat things you weren't suppose to be eating regardless of the holidays. Especially when you know you "can't reschedule" or pay more. I would think that would have been motivation enough to stop you from eating like that. I never got the option of eating food in my two weeks just liquids, I had a birthday, desert concert, all kinds of stuff I had to Get through but I did it. I guess you should ask your self how bad do you really want this? The pre-op diet is only a short amount of time in a life long WLS life style. I know the pre-op can be difficult but it serves a purpose and your surgeon has that plan for you for a reason. I don't know, I would hope if you just Finnish this out on protein drinks you should be ok, heck some Drs don't even require a pre-op diet but that's not the point, the point is you need to be compliant with your Drs orders. If you trust Him/her to do surgery on you, you should trust the plan they have set for you. Good luck on your surgery! I hope it all works out for you!

Oh and gastric bypass peeps call it a "pouch test".....from my readings.

@@Patoonces I am no where near that point BUT in all my mass amounts of research I have heard multiple people say that once they felt they may have "stretched" the sleeve a bit or felt they weren't having as much restriction as they like they went back to the liquid diet phase for a week or two to "shrink" the stomach. Now, with that being said I have no idea if it works or is true but that's what I've read about.

@@waitin2bthin Eww that's not normal, Projectme is right you need to call your surgeon....like yesterday.

@@Jackie Pulleine What do you mean by funds? Are you asking what insurance companies?

@@VSGAnn2014 Well now, we can't agree on everything! That would just be weird! : )- I'm not talking about people who need the surgery I'm talking about the people who just want to be skinny and aren't even overweight in any sense of the word. Like.....people who have their ribs taken out just to have a smaller waist. No reason for it BUT If you have the money you will find a surgeon to do it for you. Like certain celebs! But like I said before to each his own I don't care I'm not paying for it and it doesn't effect me so....I'm just grateful for what I have. Like I always say "don't let your food get cold while your busy looking at everyone else plate".

Lol this cracks me up!!!! I was also joking, you know making a play on words...man I don't know if it's the stress of the holidays or what but people are so pissy today!

@@Gendy That's the same pre-op I had plus broth. It's just going to take willpower and it should start to get better. Just make sure your spacing out the shakes and drink as much water as you can. I know it can be hard hang in there!

Do you have an on call Dr? They Usually have an on call dr for emergencies that can be reached.

*bariatrics

The quest company sent me 3 free bars. There's a link of different company's that deal in batiatrics that will send you samples. I can't remember what it was but you can google it.

Awe babies are cute but they sure can do some serious rearranging to your body. I would think you might want to wait awhile and let your body recuperate From this surgery. That's a good question for your surgeon! Good luck!

I do the usual egg whites with turkey sausage cheese and 1/4 an avocado. I also like to mix it all and bake it in a muffin Pan that way they are portable individual servings and you can add whatever you want.

I get the ready-made shakes at SAMs, they have them at regular Walmart too but it's Cheaper to buy a case at Sams

Premier Protein all the way!

Thank you!@ bittersweet.

@@BitterSweet* Happy New Years!
