Thank you for your kind words...

I do make lentil soup' date=' but it's kind of a pain as the lentils have to be soaked, rinsed, picked. 1 lb lentils-Then you saute two chopped carrots, two celery stalks, 1chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic in a little olive oil. When onions are translucent, add 2 quarts chicken broth, 1 cup seeded, chopped tomatoes, and lentils. Add 1/2 t. Cumin and 1/2 t. Coriander. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes or until lentils are tender. Then puree Soup with a hand blender until it's as thick as you want. Add salt and pepper to taste.

1 cup has 186 calories, 4 g fat, 12 g Protein, 10 g fiber[/quote']

This sounds amazing!! So trying this!

The doctors think I have an ulcer. I have pain when eating or drinking and nausea.

In the mean time my sons girlfriend delivered a healthy 3# 2oz baby boy at 29 weeks. He is a rock star. He is on supportive oxygen only. Hes so cute. He is over an hour away.

My stepson ( who is 20)is a douche bag calling me a cu@t. Husband is out of town.

And while she delivered the baby I took my stepdaughter to the airport.

Will go tomorrow to the hospital.

Ugh.

I don't know why I am so darn stubborn. I know chicken doesn't settle well with me and I don't even like it anymore but trying to play by the rules I went and grabbed some grilled chicken off a wrap at McDonald's. I was totally unprepared for my case to case visits today I was sent on by my hospice company as usually I have Protein Bars etc. I spent 20min in severe nearly screaming pain feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. I apparently didn't chew the chicken correctly and ate too much possibly too. I have now vomited in the worse parts of town with homeless people looking on. That is totally awful and humiliating at the same time. I finally feel relief but loads of pressure still. Idk if I will ever ever ever try chicken again.

I have the same problem with chicken, but just breast meat. If I do thigh meat it's fine. Funny, I tried the new grilled chicken wrap at McDonald's and had the same effect! Probably never again, and it was a quickie meal. I should've stuck to what I know works, Wendy's chili! It has never failed me in a pinch.

Breast meat is the worst. Thighs and legs are my go to for chicken. The dark meat is just more tender!!! Wendy's chili is the best on the go stop food! Loaded with protein!

      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.
