@@sleeveisa glad you are doing a little better. I am having issues getting all my Protein as well but giving up isn't an option just one day at a time and focus on your healing.

@@dmw0621 I hate the soft mushy diet My mama says I hate everything that is good for me I just want a salad.

@@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, I'm hanging in there. I've been off course for about two weeks. I need to get back on track starting tomorrow. My last nut appointment is on Jan 5th. I have decided to change surgeons and surgerys. I'm going to Emory @ John's Creek with doctor Hart and getting gastric bypass.

Hi

I am using Dr Hart at emory also. But I don't have a surgery date yet. How do you like Dr Hart and his staff?

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.

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.

@@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.

@@sablebby, I think his office is great. I don't have my surgery date yet either. I have my last nutritional visit on Jan. 5th, so, hopefully, they'll submit to my insurance. Which procedure are you getting?

Yes, I felt the same way. How do you feel about his recommendation? I'm still nervous about getting the bypass, too. :-/

@@QueenBx what has your nutrition approved you to eat? I'm just curious because I never received a list of does and don't. I was told to eat soft meat and veggies and chew until mushy.

      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.
