Is it weird that nothing has affected me yet? I've had alot of foods that bother other people including chicken and haven't gotten anything stuck or tossed a cookie yet. Also I've only felt full a few times. I'm not complaining in anyway but is this happening to anyone else? I'm a little over three weeks out and on soft foods.

I actually haven't but I might be with you on having it this weekend. Maybe I'll make loster salad minus the celery. Thank god seafood/fish is included on my soft foods diet. I think I would have gone crazy if I couldn't have it until the beginning of August.

Two week weigh in at the docs was 15.2.

They actually turn out really creamy like pudding pops.

I had scallops the other night. Pre surgery I would throw a mountain of ritz crackers soaked in butter on top of them. The other night I had them pan seared with salt pepper and a little lemon. They were 100% better then the pre surgery ones. I could actually taste them. Sweet, salty, sour. Yum. I might have to get some for tomorrow.

1 cup Protein powder. I used body fortress chocolate 1 cup milk of choice I used light unflavored soy milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Blend really well and put in Popsicle molds. Freeze for 2-3 hours. I got a set of molds at ikea for I think $1. Makes 6 with a lil left over. Enjoy!! Approx 20 grams protein 121 cals 1.7 grams fat. These stats are with the milk I used. They will vary if u use a different kind

Scrambled egg with a lil cheese. Not feeling so hot tonight. I think I sat out in the sun a little too long today.

It's gotta be the date. Lol. I had mine the same day and I'm stalled. My protein is up to about 55grams a day. I have increased my walking pace and distance the past two days so I'll see if that helps.

My doc said I could have chicken salad after I was on soft foods. Just to chop it up really small or even put it through the blender. I've actually been wanting it too but I'm kinda scared to try chicken because of everyone having problems with it. However I haven't had any issues with anything so far so maybe I'll make it for supper.

Thanks for the feed back. I think I'll be sticking to my shakes. They sound alot like the protein shots. Yuk!!

What about isopure? Has anyone tried that. I saw it at gnc the other day but is like to get some feed back before I spend $2+ a bottle.

I get this too especially in the morning. It's from dehydration/lack of protein. Keep drinking that water.

My tummy only seems to growl when I'm eating. It's like it was waiting for food and thanking me for feeding it. My lil pet. Lol.

Need some ideas for what to have tonight. I'm single so I'm only making food for myself and I'm still on the soft food stage. Any ideas??

Must be that 3-4 week stall I've heard about. I increased my exercise today so hopefully that'll move things along.

I do to but the ninja has a cup like the third of the size of the single serve from the ninja. It's good for making tuna, chicken salad, blending chili etc. However I drink more shakes then I eat food so my ninja is getting a workout.

I have a ninja and a magic bullet. I use the ninja way more. The bullet just seems kinda cheap. The only thing that I like about it is that it has small containers that are good to purée a "single" serving, which in our world is still about four servings. Lol.

I lost thirteen the first couple of days plus the 22 that I gained at the hospital. I've lost another 2 since then and that's it. So frustrating.

Time to do some more shopping!!! Thanks for the tip!!

I decided to wear sundresses all summer. I don't like shorts so besides wearing jeans, skirts and dresses are my only option. I bought a few cheap cotton dresses at Walmart before surgery and I've been living in them ever since.
