What did you mix wiht it? I found some in a can today

I have PCOS and i have lost 25 lbs already since the two weeks before and then after my surgery on the 17th. 10 before on the Protein Shakes and the rest after. I started at 305 and now am 280. I actually believe that loosing weight is good for the PCOS. Actually I had to stop the birth control before due to blood clots so i got my period then and then it came after surgery too and that is pretty normal...

I eat a 1/2 a cup. Most of the time i can get it all down but sometimes i dont eat quite as much cause i start feeling that icky pressure in the chest feeling. I was sleeved on the 17th of April and have to do this puree stuff for another week. I spoke to the nutritionist today to be sure i was still on the right track and she said that i can eat that amount and if i needed more or less I could do that too but just to eat to satisfaction not discomfort. I was paranoid I was not eating right becuase i have had a stall and its making me mad, LOL

Hooray! I was so excited to star my puree...you would think that I was eating for the first time ever. So some things that i eat are
Egg salad, made by pureeing eggs, a little miracle whip, sweet relish, mustard and salt and pepper
Crab salad, made by pureeing imitation crab, miracle whip, papricka, onion powder
Tuna/chicken salad, made by pureeing the canned tuna or chicken with miracle whip, sweet relish, salt and pepper. Basically any kind of salad you can puree as long as you dont add the Pasta.
Also, a receipe I heard from another member was to mix a can of tuna, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, and a 1/2 cup of refried Beans and blend it all togeher. I did it and it was actually pretty good.
You can try ricotta chees, parmasean and some no/low sugar marinara sause, heated up or baked.
I have also made refried Beans with greek yogart as sour cream and then some cheese melted on top.
I have also had some keifer drinkable ygart.
I went to Aldi and i bought some frozen crab cakes and put them in the microwave and then just pureed it wiht some lemon juice. Not sure if you like seafood but it was super yum.
I also have some canned Soup that is high in Protein and lower in fat that i have pureed and sometimes I add unflavored Protein power to it to make it higher in protien.
You can get oatmeal, malt o meal or anything like that too and make that in the microwave and add milk or some gree yogart and a bit of cinnamon and that is good too.
Oh and one last thing... you can puree a little bit of fruit or use baby food with the greek yogart and or cottage cheese for a high protein punch too,.
and I almost forgot i bought some laughing cow cheese triangles...they are super creamy and easy to eat along with Peanut Butter but that is only occasionally cuase its high in fat but for a little treat once and while its good.
I have been at this for a week so you can pretty much puree anything as long as its high in protein. Let me know if you have other questions.

oh duh maybe i should have mentnioned that...It was April 17th so almost 5 weeks...

hey there. if you are going to get a leak then i am too. i have been so thirsty today as it is super hot out. i sometimes get a little belly ache if i swallow toomuch at once but if i pause after a few gulps i am ok... not sure if we are supposed to do this or not.

Ladies, I am about a month ahead of you and I can relate. It seems so close but so far away. I felt the same way that you do. I took a small waterbottle and held it to my lips all day and just took little tiny sips all day long in bewtten the "food" that I was allowed. You wont get all your Water in...it is just impossible but after a week or two you will see the huge difference. It wont hurt like it does now and it will get so much easier. I promise you

All the wierd noises that the stomach makes...and they are loud is the digestion process...
I have been at this for a month now and i remember being so paranoid in the begining about eating or drinking the right amount or how I was supposed to feel. Every one always said you will know it just takes time to learn your body over again. I felt alot of pressure every time i even took the littlest sip...it will get eaiser to drink the Water. I used to hold a small water bottle up to my lilps and just take a little bit in ever minute or so while i was just sitting around watching tv or something. By the 2nd and then 3rd weeks it gets soooo much easier to get more in. I was freaking out at first becuase i felt like for the rest of my life i have to drink like a cat... you have got be kidding me. However I was wrong and i can take in alot more water..it goes down so much easier... you wil get there it just takes time but not too much time. I have started my soft food diet this week and I feel almost like I did when i started the liquids...its trial and error for each stage so until you get on regualr food it is try it and hope it goes down nice. good luck every one,

I was told 100mcg a day for the B12. I was tired too on the 10th day...I am 22 days out now and i went back to work this week and I still feel better than i did on day 10. I too thought that something was wrong but there wasnt i had blood drawn and all that good stuff. just keep the water bottle to your lips when you are supposed to and sip sip sip.
I know its so annoying when we say that but I promise you that you will be able to suck it down much faster very soon.. I can get through 66 oz and more at this point. you just have to focus on it...and if you need a nap take one..it will get better I promise.

Kelly, so did you get it out????
