ok that really made me laugh out loud!! lol I've always been a chubby kid so I know exactly wat you mean!!

yea just try a itty bit of it and tell me how it works out for you!

Tells me that I didn't need the surgery!!!! I understand where they are coming from but it's getting on my nerves....do they honestly think that I would put myself through ALL of this just because?! What really grind my gears is when they don't even educate themselves on the surgery and just assume crap!

So I know it's a great tasty source for Protien (27g) and I've puréed it and added cheese for more protein...I'm 8 days out and my guidelines say puréed foods are ok...anyone else tried it?

even if puréed? thanks you guys!

Im in the same boat as you....my surgery is on the 18th and I'm freakin out! mainly because I don't think I will remember everything! All the stuff I had learned seems like a blur now lol but keep us updated and good luck on your surgery!

It amazes me how everyone is given different guidelines....for me I was given for weeks 1-3 I'm allowed...geek yogurt, applesauce, sf pudding, sf Jello, sf popsicles, scrambled eggs, Peanut Butter, oatmeal (thinned out), cream of wheat, refriedbeans, melted cheese, puréed meats, and strained Soups, mashed potatoes...I'm sure I'm missing something but is that strange?

It is nice to have a friend on here to get the support, but chances are if you just had surgery a few months ago, you are not an expert. I am 4 months along and my routine and things that work for me are mot exact to the doctors sheet. Just like our lives before were nowhere near dictors guidelines. Just remember this as you stand on your soap boxes of right and wrong. Every plan does not work for everyone, just like all doctors are different in their plans. I think if we concentrate on support and not telling each other that they are right or wrong, it is more helpful. Example. Many of us are told no fruit. Do you know that I have rapidly list weight from adding oranges to my diet? Your routine may not match someone elses but that does not make them a failure or you an expert. We are on our own journey. Leave judgement at the door

We need to be like BFF's lol my bf bought home THEE best smelling chicken salad yesterday and I wanted to throw in the towel and devour the whole bowl but I didn't and it's so hard bc I miss all the things I used to eat and I'm a big cooking show fanatic and watching all the cheesy, salty, meaty, scrumptious food I started to regret this BUT we have to have faith in ourselves and remember we can do this....if you ever need to talk feel free to inbox me!!

In about 10 minutes I would have drunk 32oz and I don't feel full at all!!! I can eat 4oz of applesauce and still don't feel full....call me crazy but if it wasn't for the incisions and little pain I would've thought they never did anything lol
