Thanks odiem! Great info! I'm so ready for salad and fruit! I have to wait 6 wks. I have some turkey jerkey so I will try that too. I have ate like 6 cheetos puffs and I'm gonna try the kiddie brand. Don't need all the carbs in it.

I ate diced steak, and shrimp (fajita fixins)I chewed it very good and wow it was great no probs either! 4wks post op.

Thanks Jen! I'm ready to hit the gym now. I saw u have struggled with that. Me too! But before when I had to go alone I just found an elliptical out of the way and blasted my music(pandora) and was in a zone. At 293 I could actually go about 45 mins on elliptical. I'm excited to see how much I can do now. Good luck to u!!

I all! I have been so excited with the weight coming off. Had surg on July 11 SW-293 day of surg-278 Today-258!! Yay!! I'm down 2 sizes. Seriously I don't remember this weight. My mom said I think u just skipped a lot of weight! Ha. I believe her. First pic..size 18 second pic and third pic 20-22 third pic is heaviest 293. I'm off blood pressure pills and have energy. Im only 4 wks out and still struggle with Protein but I'm getting majority thru food. shakes r awful, trying the Protein drinks but it has to be ice cold...not tasty. I've been eating those protein Cookies and some bars. Dr said doing good. Cheat-- I ate a corner of a brownie and sugar free vanilla ice cream.(4 protein) blue bell. I had no prob with ice cream cause I ate it before....brownie on the other end. I dumped! But TMI alert....diarrhea like instant. Don't try brownies y'all. Unless they are sugar free! Thanks and if u have any snack tips I've been craving things I shouldn't crave I know it's head hunger but what are some healthy quick items you have had and liked. Thanks!

Thank u melonpie! Ur so sweet! I feel better too!! I'm getting bored with food so I'm trying to come up with some ideas

Yep sugar free cookie too!

We found protein cookies at the vitamin shop they fast like real cookies!! And 2 cookies equal 20g protein!! We r in love!!!

First pic before-293 Second pic bout 5 days post op-267 I'm so excited for my future healthy living! This has been tough but we all need to stay on track and focused!

I hav been dizzy too. My bp was low. Dr took me off meds but still dizzy. I just get up slow. Trying to increase protein but it is very hard. Shakes r horrible. I'm trying.almost 2 wks out

Dang barebones! It will get better for u don't lose hope. This is hard as it is so any nausea n vomiting makes it worst. We try to use a bottled water and sip all day on it. Staying hydrated is so important we r struggling with protein so all foods must contain it. Much luck to u on ur journey!

Lol. U guys are talking salad I'm no where near salad but it sounds good. I was stuck at Cozumel for dinner. Me n hubby got two tacos w/ shredded beef and 1 chicken enchilada with the refried beans. We both only ate the meat cheese out the tacos n prob 3 bites of the beans. No shell. Chewed a bunch but omg that was so good! Plus protein! Thanks for all the ideas!

Great ideas!!! Keep them coming!!!

Im stuck were i have to eat out and i need examples of what I could eat. I know soups but I'm in the puréed/soft stage and I want a Lil more than soup. I'm taking it easy but just wondering if anyone had any ideas? Thanks

Yep we can!

Tried some chicken soup from chickfila and it was great...broth not noodles. And filled me up. Yay.
