I went to the doctor yesterday and she recommends I have 80-100 grams of protein. I'm on soft foods now but it will still be a challenge.

I have a box of Swiss Miss sugar-free hot chocolate. It's only 60 calories. Only 2 grams of protein but I am so craving it. Just wondering if this would be okay & safe to try...

I usually sit in front of the TV to eat so I look up at the cable box clock and take a bite every minute. I make sure I concentrate on chewing well too.

Oh no! Maybe you'll need anti-nausea medicine. I hope you feel better soon.

LOL, but it's the good fat, so it's okay

I had 3 Italian-style meatballs last night. First few bites it was painful going down. This has been the case.for most soft/solid foods lately...don't know why...

My nut & doc both said I can eat the Italian style meatballs. I had 2 small meatballs at my hospital (they had.some sort of event) they were bland but I got sick from them. Strange how the Italian meatballs which are not as soft amd have more spices went down without a problem. Got figure... I'm going to try my Italian style meatballs for dinner tonight, hope they don't get me sick! They're so yummy!

Yes, sounds good. I didn't think of it. I will look for where they offer them in my area. Thanks for the support.

My surgery was on 1/25/13. Up until about the last 2 Weeks I was losing weight consisyently & quickly. I wasn't even trying and the pounds were coming off. I guess the "honeymoon" period is over. About 2 Weeks ago and around the time I began soft foods, I noticed my weight loss slowed down significantly. I think I've only lost 2 or 3 pounds in the past 2 Weeks. What's worse, I just weighed myself and I gained about a pound and a half! This is frustrating. I eat small portions, try best to follow guidelines but no progress. Is this it? Is it going to be very difficult now to lose the weight? I still haven't met my goal. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I don't drink plain water, I drink Crystal Light, I have had lowfat cream cheese on wheat thins for snack, and I haven't been exercising due to pain or fatigue. Are these my errors? I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Yes, that's how I can tell I don't have it anymore either. I stopped snoring, yay! I did not need my CPap anymore since about a week after surgery.

Having lentil soup and avocado again tonight.

It could be. Hope you feel better.

Good thing you've contacted your P.A. to make sure nothing is wrong. I've had pain in my side. I can't tell what it could be, it comes & goes. I have had kidney stones in the past and an ovarian cyst and the pain is similar to both. Fortunately, I have an appt. with my doctor tomorrow so I can ask then. Good Luck!

lol

Let me repeat that I do not mean to criticize/judge or offend anyone here.

That sounds delicious! I wonder if we can have turkey bacon. I'd love a strip for breakfast. Yum. That regular bacon is sooo good!

Dinner tonight was lentil soup and a small piece of a hass avocado. Yum!

Yes, I do but it's not on my list and I have a feeling won't let me have them (too greasy)

Oh and are those homemade? I bought Italian meatballs but they have beef and pork

How far along are you?

This entree is small and I was going to attempt to finish my half of the Mac n cheese but it did seem like too much. I bought it because the Salisbury steak is soft and moist. I won't have it until I check With my nutritionist first this Friday Thanks.
