ice pops!!

I would get some jerkey. I think it's required to have some Jerky on a road trip LOL if you have hot Water some single serve meal options would probably be convenient. They have oatmeal, macaroni, mashed potatoes, Soups....

pureed foods have more texture to them

boil some cauliflower in some salted Water until it is fork tender. You can use a potato masher to mash it up so it's all mush and add a wedge or two of laughing cow cheese mashed up avocado with some lime juice and salt is also very tasty one thing I really liked too was cottage cheese with some tomato sauce, garlic powder, and mozzarella heated up so the cheese was melty i would also put some dried red Beans into the slow cooker with enough water to cover them and cook it all day until they were mush (you need to add water periodically)

you could probably order a side of mashed potatoes or asked for some really soft steamed veggies

is it possible you're eating too much or too fast? I wouldn't worry about the calories as long as you're getting your Protein

I bought pants specifically to wear home, I bought pajama bottoms a size larger than I would normally wear so they would be loose on my tummy a pillow is a great idea I wish I had brought one for the ride home. We had a bit of a bumpy ride and every bump hurt. if you have pets its a good idea to keep a pillow near you. My kitties kept wanting to cuddle so I had a pillow I put over my tummy so we could still snuggle

oh yeah been there. Try different brands of Protein. Try mixes and pre made ones. There are good ones on this very site. Just keep telling yourself that YOU CAN DO IT! the liquid phase is only a short while

not for surgery.I do have a go fund me account it is for my husband's dental bill

jello is a yes, pudding is a maybe but I would stick to your program, why risk any setbacks

I wouldn't push it. For me I was very weak and my back hurt from sitting in one position for too long

best of luck to you! I had the sleeve too so feel free to ask any questions

I never actually had a puree stage. I had 2 weeks of liquids then 2 weeks of soft food then regular food

oh interesting topic a year ago I could not... tie my shoes put my own socks on clip my toenails sit in my car without my tummy pressing against the steering wheel walk more than a few yards without needing a break roll over in bed sleep on my back sleep on my stomach look at myself in the mirror

There are tons of different protein powders out there. Some are better than others

You will have great success with either surgery. With the sleeve i have good restriction and feeling of fullness. With bypass you also have malabsorption and dumping

You had the sleeve in September of this year? That's amazing! hank you! that includes my pre op weight loss too so my total loss is from this past June.

I weighed a lot more than that pre op. I had the sleeve on Sept 2 and to date I have lost over 130 lbs

are you looking for sugar free? two recipes... Sugar free no bake lemon cheesecake dissolve one pack of sugar free lemon Jello (you can really use any flavor) with 1 cup boiling Water and stir until dissolved and let cool. Mix the jello with a pack of softened cream cheese. Fold the jello cream cheese mixture with half a tub of sugar free cool whip and the mixture to a pre made pie crust. Refrigerate overnight pumpkin mousse very simple, just mix a can of pumpkin pie filling with a tub of cool whip and spoon into cups

I was told NO baby food

can you eat eggs? I mix a few eggs with some finely diced veggies and some chopped up turkey slices. I pour the mixture into my muffin pan and top with a little shredded cheese and bake them until the eggs are set. That's breakfast for a few days

I was adding things like frozen fruit and instant coffee to my shakes at about 2 weeks

you're supposed to eat greek yogurt with has more Protein and less sugar. veggies might have too much Fiber

This is one of those things I was talking about in another post with the lack of proper education about surgery. It's not the original poster's fault she wasn't told something, but not eating and drinking at the same time is one of those basic rules that your nutritionist should go over with you pretty much on day one.

this applies to all food. This is really something your nutritionist should have gone over with you
