It's called "ruminating" I've heard of people doing it but never felt the need to do it myself.

Ruminating is bringing up stomach content .... Swishing & reswallowing .... I work with developmentally disabled & that is common with them :((

I had a spoonful of eggplant Parmesan, and a couple of ziti. It was delicious! And I LOVE that I'm full and neither need or WANT more! Woot!!!

Some shrimp - the Gortons skillet sensations from the freezer section, so good! And some steamed veggies.

That sounds great! Nothing for me but a Protein Shake. Pouch has been super upset all day.

Water for me too! I can't drink plain water at all anymore without it feeling like a ton of bricks hitting me. I was doing water with lemon juice but have now moved onto lime juice!

I haven't had trouble with water before. I drank some milk this morning and some v8 light juice tonight and that was ok. It's like you said water feels like a ton of bricks! My pouch is a real pain sometimes so I'm sure it'll be ok later.

This way' date=' or you can microwave each half for 8-9 minutes then shred it. I had mine with a little butter and some Parmesan cheese. It was delish!!

I've seen the microwave instructions but was wondering if it would be 'mushy'? I may try it that way tomorrow. It's going to be too warm for the oven and my hubby wants it with meat sauce. :-)

I made tofu for the first time today. I sautéed it in some Thai peanut satay sauce. Sauce was great...tofu....not so much!

Try pressing it between 2 plates with some paper towels or freezing and thawing it before you use it. Then marinate it before you cook it. Makes the texture more meaty and it picks up more flavor.

Thanks for the tips! I also may try baking it!

I forgot, today for lunch I took a 6 inch carb balance tortilla (only 3G net carbs) and put it in a pan with mozzarella cheese on top. The tortilla got a little crispy and the cheese melted. Topped with tsp of Parmesan and a dash of pepper. Cut into 1/4 like a pizza and shared with my 2 yr-old. I only at 1/4 but I was proud of my creativity and not having to eat cottage cheese...again!!!

Went out for a date with my hubby tonight... We went to the mall an both got 2 new pair of Nike running shoes for the gym. And ten we went out for dinner at Carrabba's... Our favorite restaurant! We split a meal which was salmon, shrimp scampi and sirloin marsala... It was soooo freakin delicious!!! The best meal I have had in a very long time! I only ate a bite or so of each, but man was it tasty and set very well in my pouch!!

      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.
