June 18 surgery....pork, chicken, chilli, ...cooked in cockpot ahead of time pureer and Froze in ice trays myself and labeled freezer bags in case the smell of cooking got to me after surgery...so i just microwave 1 cube is 1oz the first week and 2 cubes is 2 oz the second week at meals with 1oz of fruits. I just added ad i could slowly...The veggies i just couldnt eat once pureer could look at them so could eat..Also i get in 6 oz yogart and 8 oz 1%milk with my shakes. I mix up times for meals. Breakfast at lunch breakfast at dinner ect. Plus my fluids about 70 daily, some sa some God i switch it up often and it works for me...i always had à water bottle by me, but I have to say i made many changes months before surgery, not eatting and drinking together, carry Water bottles. No coffee and cokes, sugar and salts...no fried foods..i just wanted the best chance i could at transitioning i could do. I think this really helps "me" now....

Great job miners!!@!

seriously' date=' I am having a pity party this evening...I am just over 2 months post-surgery and have only lost 30 pounds...that wouldn't be so bad except that I lost 20 of those pounds the first couple of weeks after surgery when I was on liquids...not even sure that can really be "counted"...anyway since then it has been like lose a pound...then stall for a few days...lose another pound, then stall...just very frustrating...and I am following my eating program for sure...I am averaging 600 or 700 calories a day (I write down everything I eat or drink), not doing great with the liquid intake but getting most of the Protein in and taking all of my Vitamins...I think my main problem is lack of enough exercise...the problem is that I have such a low energy level, and I have not lost enough weight yet to be able to do much more than walk (which I do almost every night, but can only walk for about 30 minutes max)...I know I need to exercise more and I was committed to that going into this, but I had no idea I would be so lacking in energy...I guess my main "pity party" whine is that I paid a lot of money for this surgery, took the risk, and I have been following the program pretty well...I eat no starches--for two months, no bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes, cereal--not even a lousy cracker...and certainly no desserts/sweets...I have even completely given up my beloved Diet Coke...it is dairy (yogurt, cheese, eggs, milk), lean meats (turkey, chicken) and Beans occasionally....also some cooked veggies and the occasional bites of fruit...I have given up so much in the last two months to lose a lousy 30 lbs, 20 of which was during a liquid diet...geez...for the last couple of years, I had a stable weight (albeit a super obese weight) but I ate pretty much what I wanted and/or craved (without bingeing)...I guess I just had wanted more of a pay off by now...ok, my venting and self-pity rant is over now...thanks if you are still reading....and I am giving myself a hug since there is no one else here to hug me [/quote']

(((((( HUG )))))). Feel what you are feeling, get it out, and come back fighting even harder..you loss 30 and that's 30 off toward your goal...here for you just as u will be here for us when our pity day comes...

@ Dee...if I dont see a post cause I missed it inbox me a msg, I'm sure to see it...good luck

it seem to me tht a few clicks have been forum and other people get answers and some don't I hope I get a Lil bit more support than wht I do now since this will be new too me thanks I advance

I believe everyone into different issues at a moment and don't ser sometimes, I felt this way at first, but I kept reading and postings...sometimes I get a answer sometimes I don't, I post it again if I got to know..:-)

Do you ever look at what another person is eating and think' date=' wow that is A LOT of food? My husband ordered the waldorf salad at marie callendars and it looked like enough food for 10 people. I used to eat that and the cornbread too. I'm noticing how supersized our world is. No wonder people get fatter here.[/quote']

I notice that also, its like I didn't see this b4?
