Ordering out a supreme pizza...I'm going to measure out about 2 oz of pizza toppings. 4 weeks out today.

I think that's a great idea and gives us something to look forward too!

How exciting to have a twin doing the surgery around the same time! Good luck and Congrats to both of you!

I asked the question on another thread and someone (can't remember her name) said that you measure liquids and weigh solids. Makes perfect since to me and that's what i'm starting to do.

Good Luck! It will be over before you know it

Oh no! You were brave...LOL!!!!....Hope you feel better tomorrow.

When and where can we buy the Gastric Bypass book?

You're going to love it! I love egg beaters! Never understood pureed. We puree it in our mouth when we chew it down to nothing. I applaud you Pubulz for being this far out and still doing pureed foods!!! That's some will power girl!!!

Vanna, how long do you have to stay at 2 oz?....Tomorrow, i'm going to really try to just do 2 oz each meal to try to get in the losing mode again.

Hey ya'll....just thinking that it would be so informative if along with the food that we eat...that we also tell how much we ate and how far out we are from surgery. JMO....Tonight i felt like breakfast. I had scramble eggs with sausage crumbled up in them. It weighed out to about 3.5 oz.....Surgery date April 22. It made me satisfied but also seemed like too much food :/ I've been in a two week stall and getting very discouraged.

Thank you

I'm worried also that i may of stretched mine out too...Seems i can eat more than everyone else. I'm scared the RNY surgery will not work for me. Also, i've never dumped or throwed up. Shouldn't i at least throw up if I eat too much???...Confused :/

I started of measuring and then i started weighing my food? Now I'm really confused cause i see so many talking about eating a half a cup of food...and not many talking about weighing it??? What is the correct thing to do...Weigh or Measure?

I had some chicken salad i got at the deli and put it on top of a slice of whole wheat toast. So far, my pouch is OK with it.

Oh no Krystal! What is wrong?

Seen my regular Dr. Wednesday for a check up and gained a pound!!!...Plus, blood work came back and the nurse called me today and said I was low in vitamin D. So I have to start taking 2000 units. Maybe that's why I have not felt very good lately?

My surgery date was April 22. I'm not cleared to go to 4 oz until May 22 but went ahead and started doing it a few days ago with one of my meals each day. I use a scale to measure instead of a measuring cup. It's a bunch of food for my pouch and i'm really more than satisfied after eating that amount.

Got me a scale to weigh my food and 4 oz is a bunch! I put some sliced brisket, and a teaspoon of potatoes and a teaspoon of pinto beans on my childs plate. I'm stuffed and need a nap right about now!!!

My goodness Krystal....take care and listen to your body and rest when you can!

Hi Paul....how did you know if your stomach is not emptying fast enough? What symptoms are you having?

That does sound like a bug! Get better soon and try to stay hydrated. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.

I had to drink it 5 days after surgery for a cat scan. They told me to just drink what i could. Had no problem with it.

Well, i did horrible today. There was this can of spagetti o's with meatballs in the pantry for two months and i could not stop thinking about them...So, unfortunately i ate 1/4 cup today. So good and hit the spot!!!

Meatballs are going on my grocery list right now!

I know it's not the best thing...but i had a few bites of baked fish and baked potato soup from a restaurant here in town.
