I'm looking for some ideas for some casserole/soups/meals I can make and freeze ahead. Thanks in advance

I'm postop 10 weeks and down 70 pounds total since starting the program and 30 since surgery. I weighed myself today and I didn't move since last week. I know I've heard of the dreaded stall but is there a way around it/over it?

Is coffee okay? I'm on the regular diet 6 weeks postop. I haven't wanted any for the last 6 months until today-crazy!

So tomorrow is my three month mark and I'm down a little over 30 pounds. We went grocery shopping tonight and I looked for new ideas and wanted to check to see what others do and if what I do is good:). I purchased some to go tuna packets, turkey meatballs with wild rice, deli fresh turkey meat, string cheese, thin sliced deli cheese-45 Cals, cottage cheese, 100 cal Greek yogurt, cucumbers and salad stuff...I bought light Italian dressing as I wasn't sure what to put on my salad. A typical day for me is a protein shake for breakfast, deli turkey, cheese and mustard with maybe a few veggies for lunch, string cheese after work/before dinner, meat with veggies for dinner and sometimes i do some yogurt with almonds or cottage cheese for night time snack-is this a normal routine? Thanks for the advice:)

I work at a hospital in the general surgery department and those are classic signs of cholecystitis

Do you have your gallbladder? Sounds like a symptom of gallstones

So I wanted to check in with you all and see what you think of my eating today-I am discouraged by my snack and I couldn't figure out why I was so hungry but I did work out extra hard tonight... Breakfast-protein shake Lunch-4-5 bites of lemon pepper fish Snack-string cheese Dinner-tuna melt minus the bread Snack-small piece of leftover pizza Does this sound ok? I am 5 weeks out. I went for a 2 mile walk, did a Jillian Michaels workout and did my PT toning exercises tonight

I just passed my month postop today and I had a struggle with eating for pleasure vs substinence today. It's that girl time and I think that on top of sleeping in and missing breakfast I was "hungry" when we stopped to get the kids a snack of cheese bread at the fair and I had a piece. I should know it's not going to break me but I feel ashamed. I had today for lunch two pieces of thin sliced turkey deli meat with a slice of tomato and mozzarella and for dinner we had homemade pizza which I ate the toppings only-I should be okay right?

So I was going to go for my walk this evening because it was so hot and humid today but now it's raining...suggestions on exercise I can do inside? I'm post-op 2 weeks.

I went for a 6.5 mile walk today and went to PT and did arms and legs strengthening exercises. I am post op 4 weeks tomorrow. I try and walk 3 miles a day and some sort of core/toning-the long walk today was a lot and I feel it tonight!

My first day was great! I was sure tired and felt more hungry than usual but I'm constantly on my feet. I had a protein shake for breakfast and has some soup for lunch. Then for dinner I had some squash with protein powder and a couple bites of this dish my husband made. I had 1/2 a protein shake before dinner:)

I'm going back to work tomorrow. I'm postop 3 weeks and on puréed. Do you think it's ok if I have a 8 oz protein shake for breakfast and lunch for simplicity reasonings of not having to find/pack foods for a 30 min break?

So my mother in law does not understand I'm on a diet:/. She got the whole family together tonight and made reservations at a Vietnamese restaurant. I'm on soft foods-can I eat like a chicken and vegetable dish??

I still worry about overeating and stress about gaining weight back already:(. This process has been good, but causes me to stress about weight a lot. Does anyone else have this? I'm sure I'm not even close to calorie today but the thought of not being able to measure or calorie count freaks me out!

They only had chicken but it was shredded so that was good-I think I ate mostly broth and a few bites of the others and one bite of sweet and sour chicken for taste:). I'm down 16 pounds since surgery on July 10th and 55 total since starting the process! I guess I must be doing something right??!! ????

They have Pho soup today-chicken, broth and noodles

I'm going to dinner at Perkins tonight-any thoughts on what I can have on a puréed diet? I was thinking scrambled eggs with some cheese?

Well I did it and had scrambled eggs, however I don't know if I ate too fast or too much ( I stopped when I hiccuped which seems to be my sign), but now I have a weird stuck feeling in my throat area and I keep burping. I did have one tiny bite of toast before I realized what I was doing!

I am on puréed and this is what's for dinner-okay to eat if I mash it up?

My NUT has me taking in 1/4-1/2 cup mashed potatoes on my puréed diet-this isn't bad right? I'm assuming she knows what she's doing

Is it harmful not to sip water and shakes? I'm finding it easier and easier to take bigger drinks on these hot days the farther out postop I am?

So today is my first day on puréed! I am wondering if I should have a protein shake later for an"snack" as I have not really gotten my protein in today...for breakfast I had a little less than 1/4 cup cream of wheat made with milk and sprinkled with protein powder, lunch 1/4 cup-probably less of cottage cheese and 3 raspberries. Dinner I had made chili and picked out the beans and small meat and sprinkled a tiny amount of cheese-I measured out 1/4 c and ate maybe half and then measured out 1/4 c Greek yogurt that I added a little scoop of protein powder too but could only get in about three bites before being full. My sleeve seems to be very restrictive as I am never really hungry and can't get much in...not sure what to do??

I am still on liquids and went out to eat. The only soup they had was tomato bisque which for the most part had no chunks but was thick. I had probably 5 bites and a drink of water and now I am so nauseated which I'm assuming is overfull? How long will this last or is there anything I can do to make it go away quickly?

Thanks:). Just went for a big walk and accomplished another feat-BM!

So my 90 pound dog jumped out of the shower when I was washing him and I had to drag him back and lift his front half in. I'm not hurting anywhere but how would I know if I hurt something inside me?? I'm freaking out and don't know what to do!!
