OMG that food looks delish!! Love your earrings, dress, and nail color!

Apparently, cutting into small, tiny little bites, and chewing forever is the key. LOL At least that is what I have got from everyone on here so far.

I agree that beef is very hard to digest.

That is def one I have not tried. I will have to try it. Is it very expensive? I know that a lot of stuff from GNC usually is.

Is this sold in stores?

Thank You

Wow, after all this time?

I found I wasn't able to eat a Lean Cuisine meal until my 4th or 5th month.

Just looked it up, and it has virtually no protein at all. I only eat stuff with protein. Thanks anyways.

Never heard of it. What is it?

TY for this. I will def check out Healthwise. I would kill for some lasagna right about now. LOL

TY for theses ideas. I will have to check it out. I will also look for the no sugar sauce.

Thank you for this idea. My local supermarket doesn't have stuff like this. I will have to search for somewhere that has it. I love chickpeas so I would love to try that one first.

I also did not like any of the choices of the shakes. Neither powder, or pre mixed. I tried just about all of them. The only one I could stand was the Fairlife vanilla. I would mix it with strawberries in the blender. I was also nervous about reaching the protein goal. I was probably only having about 30 a day. I spoke with my nutritionist, and she told me not to worry and that soon I would be eating more, and be able to reach the daily goal. Now I am eating more than the required amount per day. I usually reach around 90-100. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat because I am not hungry, but when I eat, I make sure it is a lot of protein.

That stinks...I hope you can still get your surgery after all you have been thru.

Oh Ok TY I will look for the Life Cuisine at my grocery store. The store where I shop, has limited choices. I am thinking that I will have to try different stores to find these things.

Does the veggie pasta, etc hold up to regular pasta?

I have never even heard of chickpea and cauliflower pasta? I will have to look for it at the store.

I only eat Progresso light soups. I take all the pasta out of the meatball one, and add green beans, and chickpeas (for more protein). The only other one I eat is the chicken pot pie one, and add to it also. I eat soup 2 x's a week for dinner.

Please let us know how it goes. I am very curious about this tummy tuck procedure. I have the same things as you. Belly sticks out but I am small everywhere else. I never thought about the chin area but it is a problem.

Now that I am almost 6 months post op, I decided to drink something other than just plain water. I tried Crystal Light, and it was disgusting! I tried 3 diff flavors, and just do not like the after taste. Then I decided to try diet ice tea by Snapple, and thought that was also nasty, and left an after taste. Hubby bought me some sugar free cocoa, and again it is gross, and leaves a weird after taste. Is this happening to anyone else? What is everyone drinking at this point? I am so sick of plain water.

Thanks for the suggestions. I love Wendy's chili but didn't even think of that. I would love to try Panera's also.

I am almost 6 months out, and the only thing I have had that we haven't made at home is a small cheese pizza. I could only eat 1 pc. Then for Valentine's day, we ordered Chinese, and all I ate was some chicken and broccoli. As far as burgers go, we make ours at home, and I eat it without the bun. I wrap it in lettuce leaves with sliced tomatoes. I am craving Chick Fila. I used to eat the nuggets there until I found out they are fried.

Great! Good luck!

I was told not to count soup as a "water". I was told to eat soup as a meal. It doesn't make any sense, since the broth of the soup is like drinking a liquid. Everyone's plans are so different, so I would check with your doctor.
