I know we can't eat much (I'm only post-op one week) but let me tell you... I was so excited to have some blended up chili today!!! I even cried, I was so excited!

My least favorite food during the first week was sugar free Jello... YUCK!

I've been on this liquid diet since Monday. I'm starving! I did good on the Protein Shakes but they kept me full. I'm sick of Sugar Free Jello! What got u thru the week?

Just the thought of Day 7 and blended chili LOL!!!

Honestly tho, I was miserable. I was soooo hungry. I would try to drink Water to settle the hunger pangs down, but it seemed to only make them worse. What day Post-op are you? Are drinking any shakes yet? That helped a little bit....

My surgery was just Monday. I've only been doing broth, sugar free jello/Popsicles & Water. Next wk it said I could go to "full liquids"

I'm one week and one day post op and still on liquids..Next Tuesday I move on to soft foods..But the food I hate the most is chicken broth..UGH!

I know what you mean abt the chicken broth! Ugh! I'm starving! If I can just get thru the wknd I'll be ok & can go on "full liquids". My surgery was Monday & I'm so sore & full of air. It hurts to burp but fella good to get it out the other end lol.

My surgery is tomorrow and I can not stand another sugar free anything. I have never liked any of it and after drinking some SF drinks these past two weeks almost all I can stomach lately is Water with a wedge lemon. Not sure what I will do next week. I do know that chili sounds like a dream and I would be right next to with the tissue box crying if I could have some!

Ummm! I'm 2.5 years post-op and I had chicken bruschetta tonight. It was incredible. chicken tenderloins with a basil/garlic/Tuscan seasoning marinated in olive oil and spread over the chicken and fire roasted tomatoes. Served over a bed of spaghetti squash with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Very healthy and delicious.

Tomorrow night it will be baked salmon with Cajun seasoning and asparagus. Saturday it will be Hamburger patties grilled with a little cheese and green chilis. Side salad or some vegetable if they look incredible at the market.

Oh yeah, I had huevos rancheros for Breakfast. No tortilla, refried black Beans with an egg on the Beans smothered in a low fat homemade green chili stew and a splash of cheese.< /p>

Love the band. Rock on!!

I loved cottage cheese and clear Japanese Soup. (I strained out the mushroom slivers.). I also had Lipton cream of chicken probably once a day. I guess I was lucky because I love SF jello!

As for now I eat a lot of shredded chicken and tuna with light mayo. String cheese (light) is another go to food, along with zucchini and ranch. Ooh, can't forget laughing cow cheese!

After a fill I rely on French onion Soup and Protein shakes. I'm getting closer to the green zone and look forward to figuring out what works and what doesn't.

I am now almost 2.5 weeks post-op, and able to eat stuff that's soft or mashed up. I think my favorite thing now is Albacore with light mayo. I drain the entire can, add about 3 tbs of light mayo, and I'm set! I eat 1/4 cup and I'm good with that. Lots of Protein in it, too! sugar free pudding is delightful, too!
