Good luck! You will do great!

Awesome! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!

Mine was 1 week clear liquids, 1 week pureed, 2 weeks soft diet, and then regular diet as tolerated.

Best of luck! Let us know how you are doing.

Awesome! I just sent for mine too! Thanks!

It is!! I used to put frozen corn in it also, but who needs the extra carbs now? This is one of my daughter's favorites because it is so satisfying, yet so healthy.

Looking great! Congrats!

Glad to hear you are doing OK!! Just remember to walk several times a day...that will help with the gas, and sip, sip, sip all day long!

How about a white chili? White ground chicken or turkey, some cannellini beans, whole bag of baby spinach or bunch of cut up swiss chard,onion and garlic, and some cumin and other spices all in low sodium chicken broth. I would double the meat and only use 1 can of cannellini beans. This is super yummy!

Looking (and I sure, feeling!) awesome!!

Oh it's real all right! And that's because you are pimpin' your sleeve!!!!!!!!!!

You will probably want a small cooler for Water at the very least, so include some premeasured scoops of Protein in individual sandwich bags. I would also throw some string cheeses in there and some turkey Jerky. High protein!

Nursebarbie, you are looking awesome!!!!

You are doing so awesome!! Keep up the good work!

Best of luck to you today!

I'm not on Prilosec, I'm on Prevacid sublingual 30 mg, but I still had to take my Cymbalta, which is in a capsule. It's not time released, and I brought it to the hospital with me. The nurse broke open the capsule in about a teaspoon of applesauce and I had no problem getting it down. It took several bites to get it down, but it wasn't a problem.

I'm 2 1/2 weeks post op and I'm supposed to be eating 3 meals per day. I'm on soft foods. When I progress to a regular diet in another 2 weeks, I can then add 2 Snacks. At present, I'm doing an hour of cardio per day, and since I started that, the 3 meals just isn't enough. I add 2 snacks now...I was feeling weak without them burning up the extra calories. I have turkey sausage bites, turkey Jerky, string cheese, or mini babybel cheeses. I only eat high Protein snacks...no exceptions.

That is awesome!!!

I have a pork tenderloin thawing in the fridge now. I'm going to marinate it with some olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, dill, and parsley for a couple of days. It's actually 2 smaller tenderloins in the same package. I roast at 425 for about 30 minutes and let it rest for 10-15 min. The meat is super super lean and easier to get down than chicken, which I find to be more dense. According to my Lose It app, a 3 oz portion cooked is 122 calories, 3g fat, no carbs, and 22.2g protein! It is super yummy...give it a try.

I'm so sorry you are going through this! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Best of luck, Kim! See you on the other side!

I think you should count it in your ticker...you gotta get something good out of it!

Sending prayers your way.....feel better soon!

Looking awesome!!!

That's about where I am for the past few days. I'm just gonna keep on keepin' on, and drink even more water!
