I think we're the hardest to see it, that's why pictures help! You'd be surprised!

Good morning! I hope everyone is still doing well. I had a hungry day yesterday. I don't know what was up with that, but I managed. I had pureed navy Beans last night for dinner and they were yummy and filling. I haven't completely stalled yet, but the last two days I've lost 1/2 pound, instead of the pound I was losing at first. Oh, well, I'm good with that, but I know the stall is coming....

I branched out today and tried some new foods for Breakfast. I was bored of eggs, so I opened a 2oz can of tuna, added about half an ounce of light mayo and then topped it with a half an ounce of mozzarella. Warmed it all up. Took about 40 minutes to eat, but went down smoothly and is sitting comfortably. Happy to have another option. What else is everyone eating that's you're excited about?

I was able to eat a chicken thigh with NO issues this weekend. It was so great. I was so scared of chicken based on other people's experience and it was delicious and filling and I felt great.

I have a green smoothie every morning and it helps my morning energy a lot.

I'm not sure if I'm cleared for chicken yet, at least not pureed forms. My surgeon wants me on pureed/really soft foods for 4 weeks. I need to call him though and find out if he means soft foods, or if to him soft foods is yet an additional stage. Doing my best to stick to his guidelines, but its great to hear you're able to stomach it! I desperately want some buffalo chicken! I miss spicy

Chicken sat great with me also. I can’t drink very much of my smoothie it’s pathetic how I make it. I add 5spinach leaves (I freeze my fresh spinach) 2 blue berries and one strawberry and 1/4 cup of almond milk unsweetened. And it takes me 3 hours to drink it. It makes so much!! Ugh 😩 but it does help with energy!

My nutritionist recommended canned chicken breast as the canning process helps break it down even more than just cooking it. Canned tuna is OK as well, but I really hate it, so I haven't tried it.

      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.
