The albacore tuna puréed w miracle whip and mustard is good. I even was able to purée a hard boiled egg into it and tasted fine. Spread it over whole grain saltines like a patte.

I just walked a mile. In the rain. Which was perfect because you couldn't see the tears on my face. Not tears because it hurt or was hard or I was tired. Tears because I realized THIS TIME, if I do the work, IT WILL WORK. I'm not some freakish person who can't lose weight NOW.

Here is that list of puréed foods that was given in my binder for surgery.

I hope they are readable. I guess I'll know after my post :-) lol. If anyone else has ideas, please share. Thank you.

Thanks for posting! Good ideas. I just have been in a rut eating Greek yogurt and applesauce mostly.

Trying to pull myself out of this first month funk and get my game face on. Just made Protein Jello and protein sweet tea. (Decaf, sweetened with Splenda)

I just had the Danon lite n fit Greek yogurt (vanilla) lunch. I love the fact it has 12g of Protein. I'm in a food rut as well. Glad I pulled out the page.

For dinner tonight I'm having a turkey meatball with a touch of marinara and Parmesan. You could purée that. Use cottage cheese instead of parm to up the Protein.< /p>

Made a mistake Now I am suffering. Why did I do that? I ate 1 tsp of low fat, vanilla ice cream...ooh the sugar did me in I guess. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid me. We finished a late lunch and My son was next to me with a small bowl of low fat ice cream and I thought one tsp won't hurt, so I took a tsp and put it with a little unflavored Protein Powder to make it "healthier" so I thought. Nope. I guess I don't have to worry about Milk of Magnesia now. Just wish I didn't have the cramps too. Yuck. Be warned.

How long after surgery did you have a BM?

It took me 6 days post op for my first Bm. When it came couldn't turn it off for a while.

How long after surgery did you have a BM?

5 days for me and it was barely a poop. Now it's about every 3 or 4 days. I'm still not regular, but our food I take is so small there is not much to expel.

I had no trouble getting in and out of bed. I sleep with a small pillow pressed on my tummy. I find if I sit straight up for too long, it is a bit painful.
