I am on day 3 of my liquid diet - any suggestions of things others might be eating to spice up their life?

Hello! I had the surgery on March 8, 2017, too. Glad to finally get off the liquid diet and have started on soft foods. My high weight was 284 lbs. in January. When I went in for surgery on March 8, I weighed 261 lbs. I weighed in at 241 lbs. this morning

(April 15). How's your energy level? Have you been walking yet?

Yes, soft foods have been amazing! I was very ready for some variety. My high was 316, 278 on the day of surgery and 254 this morning. I have been walking, trying to do 30 mins 3x per week. My doctor released me at 3 weeks to start exercise agajn as I had before, so I do a 1 he LesMills Bodypump class 2x per week. I struggle meeting my fluids goal of 64, but Protein is no problem. I get afraid it didn't work correctly for me, I havent had any issues eating anything. Too much of something makes me really full, but I have nowhere near as much difficulty as I have heard from some. What are some of your favorites to make?

i've had a lot of success with those 2.5 oz tuna and salmon pre-flavored packets, ground chicken with taco seasoning and some cheddar cheese, re-fried Beans, egg salad, smoked salmon with capers and cream cheese, scrambled eggs and a fage yogurt for Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. it's a good enough variety and super tasty. glad you're feeling great! keep up the good work.
