Just start slow and see what works for you. I started with cottage cheese and greek yogurt. They are both good blasts of Protein. Then I added in some scrambled eggs. Then I made egg salad too and that was tasty.

How about takes on their real shows:
"Throwdown with Bobby Flay"
Can become
"Post WLS First Time Eating Solid Foods Throwup & Sliming With Bobby Flay"
"Cupcake Wars"
Can become
"Protein shake Wars"
"Guy's Big Bite"
Can become
"Guy's Little Bites Chewed 20-25 Times"
"30 Minute Meals"
Can stay as
"30 Minute Meals", since we need to make our meals last at least 20 minutes
"Worst Cooks In America"
Should be taken off the air.
There is no contest, my wife is the all-time reigning world champion.
Hmmm (rubs my double chin).

I had my gallbladder taken out last week, on Tuesday. I had only one pair or yoga pants and then one pair of leggings that were to big that I had not gotten rid of yet. I was doing laundry everyday so I would have something that was not rubbing the incision on my belly button. I was talking to my daughter this and she ran upstairs and brought me down a size Medium yoga pants. I held them up but was still very swollen so they looked like they were not going to fit. Today when I got up laundry never got switched so I had no choice but to pull them out. I started to put them on and I was very concerned. But I pulled them on and they FIT!!!!! I was so happy I did a little happy dance and it wasn't to try and get the jeans up!!!!! The BIGGEST NSV for me yet!!!! I can wear a size Medium and they are not like a second skin, I have some room in them!!!!!

I really wanted a new taste this morning so I tried Egg Beaters and cooked them like scrambled eggs. I was able to eat them no problem! I usually can't eat scrambled eggs without ketchup (a habit from when I was a kid) but I was out of ketchup so I was brave and added a tsp of mild organic salsa. Salsa did fine in my tummy too! The egg kept me satisfied longer than the yogurt I have been eating has.

They kept me in the hospital 2-nights & I asked to come home today... So I'm finally home! But I still have lots of pain & what seems like painful spasms on & off?!?? I don't know if that's gas or something else! I still haven't been able to get much down because as soon as it hits my stomach it's painful! The smell of broth Makes me nauseated!!!! I'm hoping I can get down some Protein Shake tomorrow so I can start getting Protein in! ????????????????????????
I hope you all are doing great! Blessings!!!

I'm glad you guys had good recoveries, mine has not gone so well!!! I haven't been able to get anything down & could not pee at first!!! After I take sips of Water, it causes horrible spasms & pain in my stomach! The first night I kept dry heaving & thought I was gonna rip open my staples!!!!! I just wanna feel normal again!!!! They are giving me Zofran & Toradol around the clock! Prayers to all!

December 29th is my date!!!

What are the top 5 thing you brought? I have surgery planned for January 8th....I kinda have an idea of what to bring....but it doesn't hurt to ask everyone else!

Surgery day is approaching fast and I go from excited to nervous to blah.... I would love to keep in touch with someone who is having surgery around the same time as I. It's always nice to talk to someone who knows what you're going through.

My surgery date is also the 29!! My plan is to play games guess who, apples to apples, uno, etc. I also want to go to the movies or go to the snow!! Anything that distract from the food. I also plan to have Christmas dinner before I start my liquid diet!

I'm scared too at times! My surgery date is 12/28 and start my Protein liquid diet the 18. Sometimes I feel like this is the worst time to have surgery/being on a liquid diet but then I think it will be worth it!!!

December 29th is my day!!!
I wanted a laptop for Christmas but I guess surgery will suffice lol..... I so excited!!!!! ????
