I had an awesome phone call today moving me to the next stage of food (was supposed to be on Monday) I cried. Lol so emotional. Anyway I had like no food because I've been on liquids. So I scrambled up some things and made a tuna mousse with double Protein cream cheese I had. Some lemon, a tsp o sour cream just to moisten (didn't have mayo), dash of Tabasco, some pepper... Put a tbsp on a cracker with some melted cheese and it was heavenly lol ahhh substance

Congrats Kristina! That sounds awesome. I was scared to try tuna because I've heard so many people say it made them sick but I tried some lemon pepper tuna with Greek yogurt (instead of mayo) and some relish. It was so good and it didn't make me sick!

I went to my GP today. She said I have lost over 40lbs since my last visit in January. She was super impressed at how good I was doing for a month out. She cut my BP meds in half and said I can probably stop taking them altogether after my next check up!

Week 2 for me is still fluids. Week 3 starts pureed diet. Looking forward to that. I didn't want to weigh either but I was pleasantly surprised. I did wait for the gas/fluid to calm down though.

I mix mine with Water and make them thin. That way, I get more fluids too. I am sick of chocolate though.

I'm staying away from too much dairy because it can cause gas. Also, some people become lactose intolerant after surgery. Next week, I start supplements, and one of those is Calcium. Did you know that Calcium and Iron shouldn't be taken together because they cancel each other out? Oh the things I'm learning!

I know I was so confused on a time frame for what pills to take when and with which other pills... Thank God my surgeon gave me a daily schedule for when and what pills to take. Lifesaver. I put it in an app for RX reminder. Works great!!!
