I am so happy!! Went to my second post op with my surgeon and I am down 20 pounds and thank god I can eat!!! Things taste so good and I needed that fuel so I can workout and do my Water aerobics. I am feeling like a new person!! I made my hubby dinner last night, chicken enchiladas which is his favorite. So I had a lil refried Beans with cheese verde sauce and a little chicken out of the enchiladas. It was heaven!! So what is everyone else eating for soft foods. I would love some recipes :)

I made buffalo chicken dip last night. It wasn't as good as the original but it was still really good.

I used a cup of Greek yogurt, about half a pack of ranch powder, a can of chicken, a block of non fat cream cheese, and franks red-hot sauce. I just mixed it all together with my kitchen-aid to shred the chicken and baked it for 15 mins of 425. Tons of Protein.

One of my favorite recipes right now is just a couple of chicken breasts, a pack of taco seasoning, and a jar of salsa. Cook it in the crock pot for 8 hours on low and it just falls apart. You can use it for tacos, burritos, salads, or just eat it by itself. You can even add Beans and tomatoes and make it into Soup.

I bought a cook book recommended by my nutritionist - "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery". All the recipes "blend" well and are really tasty. The recipes also tell you how much you can eat at each stage.

      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.
