dmw0621 23 Posted December 31, 2016 @@QueenBx girl I want Chipotles. But I have to admit that I'm liking mushy. I'm in Texas and there must be like 4 bbq spots not far from me and I like to get the smoked chicken thigh (no sauce), it's tender and gets mushy easily, plus the flavor is amazing. But I can only eat about half before I get full. Are you expermenting with your food? I was bored at first b/c all I ate was yogurt, cottage cheese, Soup and canned tuna. I just odered me a pressure cooker, I'm going to try to make my own healthy version of soft mushy Protein and veggies. Are you getting your Water? I'm still having trouble! Any ideas please share.

QueenBx 63 Posted January 2, 2017 Omg! I haven't been experimenting just yet. I am getting Water in finally! I have a 20 oz. cup that I keep all day and I always keep it filled. By the end of the day I have drunk over 60 oz of Water. I also do crystal light so that I'm not drinking plain all day, so after I drink 20 oz of plain water, I fill my cup up with 20 oz of crystal light. How did you make your tuna? I want to try it but scared that it will not taste right. All I eat now is yogurt and mashed potatoes. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blessed618 10 Posted January 2, 2017 Hi everybody, I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow. I'm excited along with being a little nervous. Can't sleep, up watching late tv as not to think about it so much. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmw0621 23 Posted January 2, 2017 For my tuna I use 1 small can of tuna, mayo, mustard, sweet relish (about 1.5 tsp), a boiled egg, salt and pepper and a little slap your mama. Today I plan on trying deviled eggs. Wow 60 oz!!!! Thats a lot, are you drinking or sipping? Maybe my problem is I'm still sipping. I keep Water with me everywhete I go but I'm never able to finish it all and I'm so tired of crystal light. But you doing 60 oz means it can be done. I'll just have try harder.

QueenBx 63 Posted January 2, 2017 @@Blessed618 welcome to the losers bench! Hope you have a safe and speedy recovery! @@dmw0621 I like all that in my tuna to lol plus some sugar but my nut says no lol only mustard and low fat mayo (how boring). So how were the deviled eggs? Try to set a 15 min reminder to sip Water all day and I had friends and family sending me text messages to remind me to drink. After a couple of days of that it helped me become more mindful to drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
