  1. Congrats on making it through that BBQ!!! Do you add anything to the cottage cheese? I just had a Manhattan clam chowder puréed. I had been looking forward to it, but I did not like it. Cream of chicken and cream of tomato is the only thing I seem to enjoy. I need to calculate how many more days I have till scrambled eggs. I'm so looking forward to the mushy food stage. @gaelsmom...I have had the cottage cheese with a spoonful of applesauce... And then the other day I added everything bagel spice to my cottage cheese for something savory.. I needed something other than sweet.
  2. I am 12 days out and my scale has stalled as well. Bizarre to me since I am eating very little... I know this can't be it! I will just keep on going...
  3. 2 more days on liquids... Counting down to soft foods.. I can't wait. This weekend was hard bc I was at a family BBQ with AMAZING food and did not have one bite. I drank my shake. Drank water, had some yogurt and then later some cottage cheese.. That was it. I don't think a scrambled egg will ever taste so good! How is everyone else doing?
  4. Hi all, I have been MIA for a bit.. So glad we have had new people join us! It's a nice little club. So I am now 8 days post surgery. I saw the Dr. When I was 6 days out. She said I could drive! Who hoo. My freedom is back. I felt like a new woman. So, she has allowed me to add yogurt, oatmeal, farina, cottage cheese to my choices of things to have on top of protein shakes. It was so exciting to use a utensil! I have felt better everyday. A little less gassy. Less burps as I drink. This morning I weighed myself and I am down 13 pounds... Holy crap! I have a little pain near my belly button incision, but that is about it. Today was my hubby's birthday, it was a challenge. I went to a specialty store and bought fresh made ravioli is for him and homemade Italian sausage. It smells great in the crock pot when I got home.. I cooked it all, served him and the boys and then walked away... It was tough! So, I feel like I am grazing on things. Shakes, yogurt etc. and I stop after a few bites bc I am afraid of getting too full. Does that sound weird? Anyway, safe travels to our friends heading home. Know that I was feeling like you 2 days out, questioned why I did this, but it is getting better.. Little by little!
  5. Yes!!! So annoying! Some of them are a little painful too. I have my post op appt tomorrow with my doc. Going to ask her if I can add some PB2 to my shakes for a little extra flavor. I also think I may add some broth.. It is so hard to not eat when cooking for my boys and hubby!
  6. I was sleeved on the same day too and am counting the days until I can eat real food! 10 days and counting... I still have pain on one side when getting up from a seated position, or lying down. I have been sleeping on the couch bc it is easier to get up and a little more comfy. I have reached my protein goal via shakes each day, and come really close to my liquid goal. I feel I need a little variety.. Shakes are getting old quick. I definitely had real hunger last night, so I finished the rest of my shake and was fine. My only thing is I feel like I am in a fog. Almost weak/light headed. I think my body is trying to get used to not consuming enough calories! Anyone else? Seems we should all stick together! ????

    @@lachellove how are you feeling? @@Gaelsmom how are you feeling?
  8. My process went really quick since I have a small window to make this happen. I am excited for results, but nervous for the recovery part. With 2 kids at home I hope to heal quick. Luckily I have good support and help. Anyone have issues in social situations? I have a family party 10 days post op... Just nervous about getting through it. Thanks,
