Hey I just saw on my ticker I have 36 pounds to get to my goal weight of 119. I know that I am not a normal case here because I started at 225 and had a total of 105 to lose to do that and lost 50 of that before surgery. So 3 weeks out post surgery and 36 pounds to go. I can not believe that. CRAZY!!!

Tonight's dinner baked salmon and mixed collard and turnip greens.

I start pureed foods on Monday, and I bought some stuffed salmon at the grocery store. I'm thinking I won't really eating the stuffing, but did you puree the salmon? Couldn't a flaky fish just be smashed up?

I started soft foods Thursday so I didn't have to purée it but it has been done or as you say being a soft, flaky dish yes I think your thoughts would work. Be careful with the stuffing as it is usually high fat.

@TinaC--I think salmon would be flakey enough you could chew it to pureed state.

I'm having leftover baked, skinless chicken breasts, (pureed) and cooked cauliflower (pureed with a little butter added)

It's very yummy!!

@, I had some salmon and had a problem till I added some liquid, I had the sauce it could in. This was gortons simply bake salmon in a foil pack.

flaky fish was included in my pureed stage and I have not pureed it, just flaked it up kinda. Though I did need to add the sauce. Good salmon. mmmm

I had my first weekend away since surgery (girls weekend). It was a little challenging to eat the right foods but I did it. Feeling very proud of myself and a little empowered too.

How's everyone doing I had my op on 6th nov was originally gonna be 25th October. I'm doing great a bit of pain but since I got home it got a lot better 2nd day I was in hospital I had hot flashes all night n day but after a good nights sleep at home I'm as good as new. Hope all going good for everyone.

so the last 24 hours or so, anytime I am standing for extended periods or doing any physical activity, I get hot, sweaty and kinda nauseous. Any thoughts, blood sugars are fine when happening as well as blood pressure. Oh and my heart gets kind of racing.

@smiley922. Hope your feeling better today. Did you eat something with more sodium or sugar than usual?

Glad you are home and doing well. Take it easy. The first week is a little hard to get all the fluids in but if you work on it you'll do fine. Sip away!

Has anyone been tracking their measurements? I found I lost 9&1/2 so far! Explains the smaller size pants. I've been walking almost every day. This week I'm adding 2lb weights for my arms and steps to work on the legs. Trying to reduce the sagging skin.

How is everyone getting their liquids in? How much can you comfortably drink in an hour? How much is safe to drink in an hour? I'm currently only getting ~35 ounces. HELP??
