2 Weeks Post-Op

What a difference 2 weeks make! I've seen others posting that, and just didn't really understand it until now.

 

Last night, DH brought me a small refried bean from Taco Bueno, and I could only hold half of it, but my oh my! It was just about the most delicious thing I've eaten in well . . . . about 3 1/2 weeks! No problems with it going down, just took it nice and slow, and savored EVERY bite! He then showed me that he had put 2 other small orders in the fridge for me. He said he knew that I was getting bored with my food, and thought that it might help. He is such a wonderful guy, and I am so blessed to have him!

 

This morning I tried Greek yogurt for the first time, and have had a hard time eating it. It's about the most disgusting thing I've eaten. But it has 15g of protein in a single serving, so I posted on the Food Forum asking for some input, looking for a better tasting one (if one exists). Hope to have some luck with that.

 

So I'm down 21.8 lbs in 23 days. I just can't believe that! Tomorrow is my weekly weigh in, and we'll see how it's going.

    I am jealous! I don't start the soft stuff until April 20th. I would go for a small refried beans as well. Sorry you don't like Greek yogurt. I love the stuff and keep looking at it in my fridge.

    Two things - can you find Chobani brand? That seems to taste better than some others. Another tip I haven't tried but heard works well is to put a little splenda in it to sweeten it up. Hope this helps.....

    I'm surprised you're allowed beans at 2 weeks out. My program didn't allow it till 3 months.

    Oikos greek yogurt is amazing! Blueberry is my favorite. Chobani tastes like vomit. I'm not even exaggerating. It tastes like that acidy flavor you get in your mouth after you vomit. I have only tried the honey flavor. But I know a lot of people like it. The only problem with the Oikos is that it has too much sugar for my plan. But it doesn't affect me negatively and I only eat it a couple times a month anyway. There's another brand that has plain greek yogurt that tastes good but idk what it is.
