You may not even be out of the hospital at that point, why risk looking unreliable ? I would reschedule one of them...

Eggs. I don't know why they introduce them soooo early when soooo many people have problems with them. I can't eat two at 9 months post op, I can usually only eat them boiled, yesterday I tried sunny side up (well done) still made me queasy. A couple of months ago I almost gave them up completely when I ate one and projectile vomited for no reason (I have one of the strongest gag reflexes I've ever seen, trust me almost nothing makes me vomit)

Whew! Got it! Was worried I was doing all of this extra work in vain... I am currently only logging full amounts whether I finished things or not as a safe guard against exceeding calorie amounts, I may rethink this strategy but I'm lazy

Oh well you're a better person then me I was going to "Help" him with chocolate pie...

So no one else is meal prepping?

Give me his current address... I'll fix this

Jacob's stew (Red lentils and beans), avocado, Greek yogurt, vegan sausage

Egg and turkey hash on rye cracker

Try them and if you like them and they fit your plan shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks...except your NUT

Some people never lose the hunger sensation. Not a lot of information is being distributed about this. Its usually attributed to head hunger and sometimes it's not. You can drink low calories items constantly. Savory broth, soothing tea, etc. You can also speak with your team and see what they have to say. Also are you on a PPI? The stomach acid sensation after surgery is as strong as hunger. Rule out head hunger and stomach acid to give your team a better idea of how to help you CONGRATS!!!!

One cup of uncompressed raw spinach will be different in weight and volume than one cup of cooked spinach so weighing is a better bet, but I haven't been neurotic enough to weigh spinach. For dishes you can either build it in recipes or enter separate ingredients and log each one. Totally up to you and how complex the meals are, I personally use the latter method.

Maybe they are waiting to discuss it when you move towards your real foods stage, perhaps they don't want to overwhelm you.

Thanks!

When on your plan are you allowed to venture towards breads again? What types of modifications does your plan suggest for common foods? My plan said although not recommended bread starting at 6-8 months post op. Suggestions for modifications were low carb, fat, calorie varieties. Talk to your NUT, they may ask you to stay away from white varieties or whole grains, but they would have some specific reasoning behind the recommendation. I'm 9 months post op, I don't eat bread. I use lettuce as bread lol.

I woke up how you described (my first time under) and I was just happy to make it, so I prayed to orient myself. Then back to the weird dream state. I just went with it. A couple hours later I was fully lucid.

I'd recommend Europe in late spring these days... Weather has been so unpredictable it may feel more like winter in early spring...

Anyone who has seen my confessions (another thread) knows I struggle with low quality water. I can't drink it at all. I can only drink, high pH, alkaline,mineralized, foreign waters. Not all water is the same...

You are right where you need to be, stay close to plan and your body will do its thing at it own pace. CONGRATS!!!!

I can just imagine cats with little picket signs at all the rallies "legalize it meow"

Eating the same foods help, not super fun, but super effective to know your intake . Always salmon, chicken breast, ground turkey, steak , etc then you only need to adjust amounts consumed. I use the same version of MFP and instead of entering breakfast lunch dinner, I enter everything in breakfast under a multiple add, sooo much quicker (plus I already know what I'm going to eat)

Your cat too huh? Lol

I'm 9 months post op and I get nausea only sometimes in the morning or food based (random)

For dinner I had little squares of: Tiramisu, Rugelach, Macaroon, watermelon, strawberry, cantaloupe at an affair. Totally worth every bite. I tend to save all of my food splurges for worthy times...otherwise I only bought one bottle of Voss this week...
