I've ha refried beans an salsa for the last few nights. I haven't tired sour cream. I love it but I'm not sure if I can have it yet. Also today I went to Chili's and got the chicken fajita had them blend it up for me. OMG they were so nice about it and it was sooooo good!!

I'm two week out and my doctor told me to try mashed potatoes for my first puréed food. It's crazy how different surgeons are!

Does anyone have any good puréed meal ideas? Tonight I had refried beans mixed with salsa and it was AMAZING!

So I'm two weeks out as of tomorrow, I'm down 17 pounds but I am not getting nearly enough food, or liquids. How did y'all push yourself further to reach recommended amounts

You'll do fine!!!

I'm not aloud egg or cheese until soft food stage which is two more weeks... Kinda stinks because I was hoping for an egg today.

Thanks ill look for them!

I've found Popsicles but not fudgecicles.. I'll have to try a few different places. I think that might help!

Yea I know... I thought the hard candy would help when I'm craving sweets and before surgery I always had peppermints or butterscotch in my mouth. I figure the sugar alcohol was better then sugar but I guess I need to break the habit if always having hard candy in my mouth. This is not the easy way out.. My mom had this divert in 2005 and she was bedrest for 6 months and never had food temptations... Sometimes. Wish that was me because I'm tempted all day everyday and chicken soup and potato broth an getting so old.

I've been doing the sigma free hard candy and sugar free gum fine. I'm going to wait a few weeks before I try it. I just seen the so I bought them. I want to do this right but the cravings are starting to get to me. I'll be glad when I can have a bigger variety of foods I think it will help to have different flavors

I bought the russel Stovers. I haven't ate any because I'm still on liquid diet and not sure when I can have it. It's 0 sugar and an 12g in fat it's still high but the lowest I've found.

I'll have to try that next week. I'm still on liquid diet.

I'm craving a Reese cup is it ok to have a sugar free one???

Ok so how big is our pouch suppose to be? Yesterday I ate 4-6 ounces of potato soup and today I had 5-6 ounces of gravy... I'm getting a little concerned. I thought it was only 4 ounces.

Wow I had bm as soon as I got home. An non stop the next day. I guess it's from the citracel I had to take.

Your close to!!! Seriously we all need to start getting together once a month or something.

I ended up eating 1/2 a tablespoon and I was full. Right now I'm liquid Til Weds. Then puréed for two weeks and then soft food for a month. I did fine with the grits but I made them really runny.
