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:)

Sharp squeezing pain!

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!

Going back to work
Woodland4807 replied to Woodland4807's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
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?

Scrambled eggs on puréed diet?
Woodland4807 replied to Woodland4807's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
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?
-
Tator tot hotdish?
Woodland4807 replied to Woodland4807's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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??

How long will this feeling last?
Woodland4807 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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!!
