Ok, I bought too many of these on Amazon.com, lol… happy to hear that there are some recipes for which they can be used, I will check it out! Thanks!

@@edie091371 - I'm kinda embarrassed to say, lol… kinda a desperate for something different - or something familiar, more like it - kinda recipe. We all got home from one of my son's football games and I made them protein pancakes (Kodiak Brand, lots of protein, little sugar)… well, there was one left and I had not eaten myself. I grabbed the remaining pancake, put it in a bowl with Fairlife skim milk and some sugar free syrup and went to town with my handheld mixer stick… and voila! pureed pancake, lol! I scarfed it. It was only about 1/2 a cup, but I ate too fast and too much and was uncomfortable for awhile. Still learning

I just bought these on amazon! Have not tried them yet, as I am still on purees, but they sound too good to be true, don't they, lol. A ton of protein, low sugar… what is not to love?! I am curious about responses, because I figure I must be missing a negative somewhere… like how they actually taste I found the sea salt at Randall's, but bought bbq and sour cream on amazon… I'm an optimist, what can I say

That was me on Saturday night, lol… I tried everything. The misery eventually passed (pun intended , but I'm trying to avoid reoccurring episodes…

The sipping is hard!!! It seems like it takes up your whole day just waiting for the next sip! I can tell you I'm 12 days out still sipping & am looking forward to my Dr. appointment tomorrow to see if I can have some refried beans or just something besides my shakes!!! I should be on soft food!! I don't have a puree phase like some do after 1 week. I don't know what the difference is. I had the gastric bypass. Do you go into a puree phase? You could call the Dr. & see if he would allow something pureed to help make it to the next phase. Have you tried a little of sugar free jello? Or chicken broth? I have the Unjury chicken broth & its helped me make it this long having something savory to sip. Hoping for the best for you!! I have the Unjury chicken flavor too (you drink it warm) and it is pretty good

@@60&goin4it - Good luck at your doctor's appt/weigh in tomorrow! I know you will do great!

Wow, we really are, @@edie091371! Feels SOOOOOO good, doesn't it! Though, I just stuffed myself, so feeling bigger than ever, lol, you know the feeling... I did not plan to, but waited to long to eat and found a puree that was so good, I was stuffed before I knew it... Ugh, hate this feeling! I'm still learning, lol

interesting… i drink smart water (Costco bulk!), but will give Fiji a shot

That totally happens, to all of us @kvoneye… i was 248 on SD and 252 on the day of my one week followup appt. It dropped fast though and will for you, too! I am two weeks post SD on Thursday and my weight is down to 239 It i normal, i promise

I go from puree to soft on Thursday… Yay for us!

@@Miracle - Our puppy sleeps with us, but I still wanted to play it safe… My husband slept out in the living room on the couch with our dog and in the bed with he freshly laundered sheets

Did your doctor give you a puree stage or do you go straight from liquids to soft foods? I'm in a week of puree (the pintos (mashed) and cheese count as puree) then start soft foods in Thursday. All the docs are so different!

I am 8 days out and had 2 pureed scrambled eggs, no problem. But trying to remind myself that the nerves involved in my gastric bypass and not sending me the right signals for awhile. I was surprised that I could eat two eggs as well, but my keep it to one until I have more healing time under my belt (no pun intended!

@@edie091371 Sounds like a plan! We got a Gringos out here in Cypress a couple of years ago and it is till one of my favs

You get it at Taco Bell! It is really just refried beans with some cheese on top. It is served in a small container, so the size is not overwhelming, either. I know I can make the same at home, but somehow it is better when someone else makes it and it feels like a special treat

mine probably days that too, lol, I'm just a big milk drinker (now LOVING Fairlife white milk) and started having some a couple days ago... So happy I can still tolerate it!

I'm so glad your first full feeling was positive. I had my first full feeling last Sunday but it quickly shifted to over full and I felt sick to my stomache for over an hour. Now when I get close to full I stop and wait to see if my body needs to catch up and tell me I'm full. At this point satisfied is a way better feeling than overfilled lol. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk I've had this happen too, @sylviaflowers… I'm still learning

@@kvoneye, Yay! Enjoy!

I've been eating cream of wheat in the morning mixed with almond milk... @edie91372, are you able to eat purees, yet?

Same here... I've been doing great and then quickly became bloated and uncomfortable... could not even pass gas. I took some miralax, but needed something immediate... Resorted to glycerin suppositories (I know, yuck and tmi, so sorry!) and it helped almost immediately... I was miserable last night but much better today!

I have the same fear, lol! My surgeon laughed when I joked about it, said he attached it better than that. But still! Having this surgery sometimes makes me feel like I'm pregnant again... My abdomen has been transformed into this life-changing new entity with all the worries that come with it, lol. With every gas pain I have to remind myself that it is not a baby's foot or hiccup

That is awesome, @@edie091371!

Fairlife is so good… I was a big skim milk drinker and worried about not being able to tolerate milk after the surgery. I've had the Fairlife chocolate before, but I bought some white and about died. So creamy and yummy! Better for you, too!

I have trouble with cold now too
