Thanks for the cucumber and hummus idea. It has rocked my world. I'm dying for anything healthy with flavor. A friend stopped by unexpectedly and I even whipped this out as an appetizer and she loved it!

Breakfast: a yogurt

Mid morning: handful mixed nuts (unsalted)

Lunch: half an avocado topped with half a small tin flavoured tuna, handful of cherries

Dinner: this yummy salad that I saw on Jamie Oliver - marinate some halved peaches in rosemary and olive oil, then barbecue them, meanwhile arrange some proscuitto on a plate, top with the barbecued peaches, then with a mix of rocket and tarragon, dressing is 2/3 olive oil to 1/3 red wine vinegar and a teaspoon of greek yogurt to make it creamy. Delicious!

And a glass of sparkling shiraz and a nice brewed coffee after dinner.< /p>

10km walk this morning with DH. Glorious summer day here in Melbourne.

11 days out of banding and was told to eat soft foods

went out for the first time and was very nervous

1-cheese enchilda - refried Beans 6 chips

two bites guamole -- some tastes of hot sauce

l pb - small one

sipped on melted ice

our doc said to get a glass of ice and as it melts - while you are eating -- sip that

and it helped

taking small bites and getting the flavor of all is the key to eating --- I guess

I still want more than 1/4 of a c

Oh dear me had a bad eating day/night last night at work - the hospital had a holiday meal provided for us - did not go well for me.

B: tried thinned down refried Beans w/ shredded cheese - took couple bites - came back up - so had mocha cheesecake Protein Shake instead

L: 3 attempts at holiday meal bites - turkey, potatoes, dressing, fruit, ham, corn, spice cake - every attempt came back up - think I kept 2 bites of cake down - but i think only because it was mostly frosting i tried :tongue_smilie:

S: 2 handfuls of smartfood popcorn and 1/8 c. m&m's

D: couple bites mac & cheese and a cherry turnover :tongue:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
