So crazy



Recommended Posts

So I had some lunch with my dad this afternoon. Since I am the mushy part of my diet I went with two runny scrambled eggs and a cup of chili. I ate the eggs fine and a half cup of the chili and was completely satisfied. So strange. In the past I could have eaten that and whatever my dad was eating as well. My dad, couldn't believe the change. I can't believe it. So strange.

Tell you one thing though, that was the best scrambled eggs I have ever had ;)

Glad to finally get out of the house for a bite...

Congrats! It's a great feeling, isn't it? It is strange at first but the outcome is nothing short of amazing. I too remember the enjoyment of REAL food after being on liquids for 4 weeks.

I just started mushies this week as well. I had two work luncheons this week and was concerned as to what I was going to order. Yesterday, I ordered a side of creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. I didn't eat the spinach because it looked too stringy so I was afraid to try it. The mashed potatoes were sooooo deelish. I ate approximately half a cup. Even though mashed potatoes are allowed by my doc at this stage, it's not something I would choose often since it's a starch. However, my options were really limited at that restaurant. Today, the restaurant I was at had a wonderful red-pepper basil Soup that consisted mostly of broth. I ordered a cup and was completely satisfied when I was finished. So far, so good! biggrin.gif

that's great..can I ask you a question do you have retriction at this time or no fills yet

no only 2cc's in a 14cc band. No fills yet. I think the psychological effects of the band have something to do with it as also a big fear over eating and throwing up. I hate to vomit. One of the worst feelings so I will pretty much do anything to avoid it.

Congrats! I had the similar dinner out to eat on Mother's Day with my Mom and Grandmom. They were shocked at the amount of food I did not eat. Wow, it's kinda playing with my mine. Keep up the good eating habits and weight lost.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
