Glad to hear it went well. -
Marijuana Use and Nausea

I’ve not heard of this one yet. I’m curious to see what happens when you don’t smoke. Keep us posted for sure. I hope it’s as easy as just not smoking. Fingers crossed. -
You too.
-
Thanks. Those look good.
-
Yea better safe than sorry.
-
I’ve never had salmon cakes. I like crab cakes though. I will have to find a recipe and try those.
-
Hummm. Never heard of that. I don’t recall how many weeks I was when I was on purées though. Could’ve been around the same time frame.
-
Ooh man I loved it. I practically lived on it during the purée phase.
-
Yea for me it was sweets taste sweeter and for some reason I don’t hate fish anymore. Some people have a lot more changes than that though. I tried stuff I hated because of texture though like mushrooms and I still hate those.
-
I mostly want to like salmon for the health benefits. I think I’m going to give that one a try again.
-
I used to drink Crystal light fruit punch pre op and post op it’s too sweet. I now make a gallon at a time which requires two packs and I mix the Walmart brand watermelon which is blah with the fruit punch and it’s not too sweet.
-
I am guessing you are on purées. Did anyone tell you about the ricotta bake?
-
They do have the 4 packs at Walmart too if you want to try them before you order a case.
-
If it’s cause they are too sweet I would still try the caffe latte (at least if nothing else works out that you have already ordered). I have suggested it to many people on here and they liked it too.
-
Have you tried other fish? I wonder if they will taste less “fishy” or if I will like that “fishy” taste now.
-
So I learned something today

Many people do not feel their restriction until they get to purées or soft foods. Some nerves were cut during surgery and liquids go right through you so it’s harder to feel it early out. -
Also, if you haven’t tried the unflavored protein powder you may do well with that post op since you don’t like the shakes. You can mix it in anything. Not water though. It does have a taste - learned that the hard way.
-
I only like mahi too. Funny thing is I used to have to make myself eat it once a week but post surgery I like it a lot more. Sorta makes me wonder if I should try other fish again.
-
I think this is one of the less common effects post surgery but I have heard people on here reaching out about this immediately post op but I assume it goes away because the posts do. I mean I have never heard anyone who says they are several months or a year post op with the same issue. I wish I could help more. Have you spoken to your doctor about this??
-
Have you tried the clear protein drinks. Post op I didn’t like the sweetness of protein shakes anymore and I did much better with the protein waters. Also, if you are allowed caffeine and you like coffee. Do yourself a favor and try the premiere protein caffe latte. It’s so good I still drink it over a year post op for breakfast daily.
-
Well if you like ranch the Bolthouse farms ranch is made from yogurt so it’s only 45 calories and it’s good.
-
Yea. I mostly got them because I found a yogurt salad dressing that I like and it’s only 45 calories for 2 TBSP. So I was going to take it with me when I go out to eat. I was just surprised how tiny that cup is. I think I have been having a couple servings. At least it’s just 45 calories though. But now I know why they say not all salads are created equal. I used to use regular ranch and a lot of it. Probably worse than a cheeseburger.
-
Had anyone found any new tips and tricks to help with WLS journey. I found these little disposable cups on Amazon that are one ounce which is 2 tbsp. The serving side for hummus And most salad dressings. After using it I think I have been underestimating my calories for these things.
-
Ooh. I was googling, looking for those plants. It seems like lily’s is the most common “funeral” plant. Maybe I should try one of those next.
-
They are actually called funeral plants? Never heard of them.
