People either love it or hate it. That's why I said I negotiated with myself. LOL. But I do actually like their WF Italian, and I like their WF Asian and WF Sesame Ginger. I have even gotten to where I will tolerate the Chipotle Mayo cuz who doesn't love better living through chemistry. And if I can max my cals out with protein and nutrients rather than expending them on gooberish stuff like sauces and dressings, why not? So I gave myself permission to "like" them.

Bootiful!!!

Give DH love from all of us. I'm so glad to hear such good news,thank you for being so supportive. My support when my time comes will be my son, and I believe he will be as good for me as you are for DH. You get some rest,yourself. Hopefully,my,own RnY will be next month, without him I would be anxious about doing it at 72. Support people do mean a lot. God Bless and keep you both [emoji14] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Went to the store tonight and stocked up on some items that will help me make healthy meals, so I'll actually make new things instead of relying on the old stand-bys that are getting repetitive. I got: bag of chopped broccoli/cauliflower (currently roasting in the oven with some baby carrots) two Roma tomatoes Laughing Cow light Swiss wonton wrappers turkey pepperoni 90% lean ground beef Greek yogurt cream cheese mozzarella cheese sticks (like string cheese, not the breaded kind) Canadian bacon regular bacon a squeeze bottle of ginger skim milk EVOO pizza sauce a bag of clementines small cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes a can of chickpeas (to try @AshAsh1's roasted chickpeas -- I've never had chickpeas, only hummus) pineapple tidbits in juice The ham, pizza sauce, pineapple, and some shredded mozzarella we already had are in the oven with the veggies, becoming crustless Hawaiian pizzas based on this recipe: https://www.ellaclaireinspired.com/no-crust-pizza-bites/ I also plan on making these mini cheeseburger meatloaf muffins, though not tonight: http://www.hungry-girl.com/ask-hg-q-and-a/seven-healthy-protein-packed-recipes

Sorry to hear - I did that once - didn't get sick, but couldn't take another bite - couldn't move - just couldn't do anything but pray, swallow slowly, and hope that it passed (literally) and didn't come back up. It was miserable! No rushing. Always make time for your meal - and don't eat distractedly. I'm reminding ME not you I'm still at risk to do it again! Hope you're feeling better!

Yay we are the same day!!! I cannot wait seems like forever but 1 month and 1 day counting!!

OK, I'll admit to being selfish here. During the pre-op clear liquid phase (just 2 days) I asked my family to eat dinners out. I was soooo hungry. After the surgery, it wasn't nearly so challenging. But still, if you can avoid cooking foods that smell really deliscious and have to cook for hours, that would be kind. (Smelling chili cooking for 3 hours just about did me in!) Depending on his doctor, he may be on liquids for 2 weeks or longer after the surgery. I found that to be the hardest time. Once I could get something even a bit solid, like applesauce, it wasn't so bad. A lot will depend on whether he experiences a lot of nausea, too. Good luck to you both!

You were lied to. The three weeks stall is infamous. What can you do? Be patient. That's it.

Hi Lilly I am 13 days post surgery. I don’t think I have been hungry yet, but am pushing myself to get that protein in. I am getting about 40g in a day, gently that is increasing. On my plan I can eat yoghurt, cottage cheese, today I had a small soft egg. My calories are at 400-500 a day on that and one protein drink. I think push yourself for just the 64oz water, and towards the 60g protein, whether you want it or not. If I wake in the night? Few sips of water. First thing in the morning, last thing at night. Dehydration is a bummer...
