I don't know what the hell is wrong with me, but I feel like I gained my 40lbs back in less than a week. I'm not eating NEARLY as much as I ever had before and I feel like a Humpback Whale instead of a cool ass Killer Whale. I want to go back on all clear liquids STAT, but I can't stay on something like that forever. D:

**BIGGER HUG** Thank you! I will somehow deal with it, I just went back to work, so I feel odd dealing with it in the office. I think a lot of it is mental as well.

OH man!!! Yeah! The worst! Having to deal with stuff like that when you have to "maintain" and have it appear "like you have your crap contained" is very stressful!!! Have a mug of warm tea and hug yourself when no one is looking...or hug your Swingline stapler if you need to...
Hope you get to feeling better soon. Also, maybe you need to take a step back in food progression for a day or two to let your tummy rest? Have you poopied lately? I know if I get an extra bag full, so to speak, I am grumpy girl!!!

I've had my fill in ground turkey/cauliflower stuffing and baked cauliflower w/ macaroni and cheese. Couldn't even finish my tablespoon of cranberry sauce.

Getting through Thanksgiving 2-3 weeks post op

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! -
Ground Turkey (first), Dressing, Mashed Potatoes (my mom makes the best), cauliflower mac & cheese, a bite of real baked mac & cheese, and a tablespoon of cranberry sauce (the can shaped kind) --- all sample portions of course. I've already logged the food into MyFitnessPal and I'm staying under the limits set for me by my NUT. It's just my parents and I for this T-giving, so they're up for the modifications. For breakfast though, I'm having some minced ham and soft-scrambled eggs. I'm so happy my stomach is taking to well minced/pureed/soft foods.

No change in hunger

Uhhhh, getting cut open only to have part of a major organ removed and sewed/stapled up IS harder than any dang diet. But, whatever floats your boat. This dude's got it in the bag, he'll be fine. -
I'm on my 3rd week and started 2 days early on pureed foods (NUT said it was cool). I'm actually eating really soft scrambled eggs (see Gordon Ramsey's recipe on Youtube, the one where he makes them in a pot) and some extra mashed corned beef hash. I eat slowly and chew at least 30 times.

Dude sounds like a lame. Drop him.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by the question Why?
JadeVT replied to StephersSweet's topic in Rants & Raves
I don't explain to anyone, it's none of their business. If they ask you "Why?", just say "Don't worry about it." -
I'm here to tell you that at Day 4, I stopped thinking about how hard it was and found it to be a relief lol. I didn't have to think about cooking and debating on whether or not I should be eating such and such. Also, I had more energy. The first 3 days were somewhat of a withdrawl stage. Also, I had to get out of the mindset of it "being too hard". When I put on my clothes on the 4th day and they fit better, I knew I was doing something awesome. However, I cannot lie.....I had a bite of my mom's Italian Wedding Soup on Day 10. But that was the only "cheatation". Sugar-free popsicles were my saving grace. I had every kind you could think of lol.

You've already made it! You've had the surgery! The hard part is over and done! -

JadeVT replied to Patrick powers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
To be honest, I'm having the same issue. The ONLY thing that makes me remotely "full" or not hungry is Sugar-Free pudding, or anything with a pudding-like consistency. It's weird to me, but I just stick with the small portions b/c I know that's what I'm supposed to do. I swear, it feels like a tapeworm is inside of me. Part of me thinks it has something to do with the boredom hunger, since I'm off work for another week. When I was going through my pre-op liquid diet, I was working so much to where I didn't care about eating or feeling hungry all of the time, so shockingly enough, I'm excited to get back to work lol. -
EDIT: Just wanted to update you and let you know my doc/NUT approved of these; my NUT even subscribed after I showed her lol. I have and I was sleeved on 11/8, but I don't do exercises that are "stomach/ab focused" (if that makes any sense lol). I just go on my eliptical machine (found a great deal on Craig's List) and upper-body focused workouts from Youtube. I love the XHIT channel and Rebecca Louise's channel. The workouts are quick but get you burning quick. I've been doing arms every day for the past 4 days and I have already noticed quite the difference in the "Bingo Wings" (under arm/tricep area) and my upper back (no more camel hump). Here are the two I do every morning after I wake up and stretch. However, I modify the ones where you get on the ground b/c I'm not too comfortable with that yet, I just do curls during those parts:
