Auto correct is terrible. Hope u got the idea. Ugh

I too love salad. I have not tried lettuce yet, I'm afraid. I have Jax tomatoes and acocatoes as my salad so far. Soft and easy to digest. It will be two weeks before I'm ready to try leafy greens. I also had fresh corn! I was so excited. I had my coliflour mash and pureed a bit of fresh corn into it! Omg it was Awsome. I puree my meats still and I do this into my coliflour. I am working toward solids so baby steps. Right now is rather have veggies but I have to eat my 60 gm of protien. It's hard to do.

Every one is different. Many ppl have issue with chicken. Sugar is an item to be cautious of. Eat slow and Any new food after surgery take a small test bite,.chew it well and wait 5 min. You should know right then if its working or not. You'll feel the pressure. Waiting can help you avoid gettting sick and worse pain. I can't eat pork. It hurts like hell, even pureed it hurt. Now I had some tuna and I was surprised I was fine. The other thing to remember is having help with solids, we shouldn't drink n eat or we will slow our weight loss. But use something wetish / ketchup, avacoto, tomatoes, dressing with meat makes digestion easier. I'm just starting solids pureed and my family eats smashed coliflour instead of potatoes, I am able to puree some meat with that for a meal. Follow the rules, they are given for a reason and you'll be glad you did. Best of luck.

I don't weigh in until tomorrow but I can say the replys helped! Let's say I could tell I was out of starvation mode via the ladies room. I was clearly not taking in enough calories and just sticking to three meals made a huge change. Thank you.

Carbs....I'm terrible at proof reading sorry.

Thank you all! My head agrees that I'm likely not eating enough. Its 3:15 and I've yet to eat, I'm not hungry. So ill try eating 3 meals hungry or not. My tomatoe thing is because I do love them and yes its a virtually free meal. I am still struggling with food fear. The little skinny Bitch in my head tells me if I eat, ill never stop being fat (lol). I focus on protein, no carnal yet for me. I still can't hit my grams a day. If I drink the protein shake I'm fearful of the amount of calories like 200 almost. I'm trying to get it through real food. Work in progress.....

I have my meal plans and I'm following them, but no where does it say our limits? What have you been told? I use nome to track my calories and I stay between 3-400 calories. I'm definatly not eating all I'm allowed so I got to thinking about the calorie limits. I'm also mad because I only lost 4 lbs this week and was at approximatly 1850 calories for the week total. My husbad told me I'm eating too much! I am supper angry about his criticism with nothing to base it on except I was able to eat more tomatoe then he felt was acceptable for dinner today .....Ahh ppl always have an oppinion of a fat chick eating. He is so on my shit list right now.

My old op VNG there was no dumping. Now I here I will have it and ppl say its painful. ~ any way, I've been dehydrated and was told two things today 1) increase fluid to 69-70 oz per day (hum, how? Idk) and 2) to drink regular gatoraid !? Nutritionist said I could drink a glass 8oz n hour and be ok......its what she said but there is no way I'm going over 15 gm sugar. But maybe it will help you all with a sweet tea cravings!

I had a VBG in 98 .....I'm 2 weeks out of my revision to RNY ....... Yeah, that is a combo of not chewing and the food choices. It is 100% too soon for solids like that. You r still swollen inside. I did that "foaming and / vomiting" for 10 years! It was so bad I would opt not to eat for a week at a time. So, let your tummy heal. Be mindful of bites and I believe always take a test bite and wait, see how you feel, you'll usually know. Once this happens, I recommend a soft or liquid diet for a day minimum so it heals and your pouch is not inflamed. My two cents.

There is an oldie but goodie cheese cake-ish easy and allowable recipe; Ricotta (low fat or fat free) Milk ( LF or FF) And sugar free chocolate pudding. Mix milk into ricotta until slightly soupy then add pudding mix. Now in the past I've dome this on atkins. I measure my 1/4 cup ricotta, add up to 1/4 milk and add T spoon of pudding mix and adjust as needed. It is on my diet and a filling, good healthy mix.

The 3 month thing is new, maybe 8 months ago. We are trying that for my husband due to his work being less then flexible. The pre op diet depends on your surgen. My friend did hers at the same time as me, she was on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks prior. I only had to do it for 1 day.

I'm learning this sight on my phone. I am learning. Thank you all. I'm glad to hear others have experienced similar issues. I am working on getting my fluids in still at 10pm. I don't want to eat, that feels good emotionally. I am.working at getting protein in but far from the mark so far. My mother brought me a cuisineart stick blender so I will try to mix up something tomorrow that I can just sip all day. I'm learning from everyone's posts ...

Am I alone in being afraid to eat , not due to vomiting, because I won't lose weight?. Today I'm at 200 cal. I made couliflour soup (spelling, sorry) I estimate with milk added.and some cheese it should be 40 cal per cup. I ate 1/4 of an avocato and thankfully that is still with me. I have been worried I would not feel any fullness as on liquids I was perfect. I felt nothing bad, full or twinge etc. I'm still staring at the soup, contemplateing if its worth the calories. My post op weight loss at 7 days was 4 pounds. It was more like 17 but that was iv fluid, solid weight was 4.2. I was a bit flustered. Idk if others counted or did not court fluids loss. I gained 13lbs post op then down 17.2. I won't count that. Do others? Is that why I feel out of place? Random fears.....¦~\

I'm looking for support and advice. I am a revision. 98 I had VBG at 550. I got to 293 and as of '11 was 350. I managed to stay at 300 for ...11 years. I was happy, untill I started to put it on rather fast. I had complications (band grown in, ulcers and a rip, not to mention vomiting for 11 years) I was told in 98 I would one day need a bypass but preferably, after children. So here I am I had my RNY on July 19 th. As a revision, I feel FABULOUS! like a thorn was removed, no more like a small log! I was so used to discomfort, I had no idea how miserably I felt every day. It's surgery...and its sore but I am drinking better, food (liquid food) feels better going down then two weeks ago. BUT that kind of scares me. Last time was horrific, this ease is disarming to me. I refused calories for days out of fear. I am motivated by the desire to keep my hair, so I drank my protein shake and I had a bit of hummas. I'm tracking calories and grams of protein...I only hit 36gm today. I hope to find some friends to share the journey. My husband is also starting the process, he hopes for January.
