That's great! @@sarahb309 ... not about the throwing up, i mean about the scale. I'm too scared to eat stuff too because i don't want to feel dumping syndrome again. I felt it once while i was on liquids. So I'm terrified to try anything that might not be good for me. I haven't been cleared for chicken, so I've pretty much been a vegetarian since 2 days before surgery. Ugh... I'm dying for some tuna.

I had to get one before surgery. It was mandatory before my insurance would cover it. I only just stopped bleeding. I get cramps still every now and then.

Is anyone working out yet? Because I'm not and I feel terrible about it.

Yes, @@Pup, I will be on pureed until July 7. That's when my next post-op appointment. Fried egg? You didn't get sick? I think it's the oil they don't want us eating. I have a non stick pan that I can easily fry an egg on. So I don't think it will matter. Thanks for the idea by the way, I hate scrambled eggs. I've been eating my refried Beans with cream cheese. Cottage cheese goes down very well. I also boil a small potato and have it with a tiny bit of i can't believe it's not butter. I mash it with my fork, of course. What else are you eating?

Yes exactly! I feel like I'm not myself. I still haven't felt hunger pangs. That's the best part. I've been eating canned refried beans, but today I decided to make my own with no salt. Just plain ol' garlic. They taste great with just a little cream cheese.

I don't feel like I need to eat, but I do know if I don't eat, I become irritable and miserable. So I force a little something something in when I feel like that. I'm currently on a stall....again..... either that or my scale is garbage. I need to unpack my weight watchers scale. That one is accurate like in the doctors office.

I'm doing great. My head cravings have started, but I'm doing good nonetheless. I am having a little trouble drinking my protein now, though. I've tried a few different brands and flavors. They all make me so nauseous. Not nauseous like, ohhh I'm tired of protein. I mean nauseous like I'm trying not to throw up because my stomach hurts. Is anyone else having this problem with protein?

Ha ha ha, that underwear statement kind of crept on on me. Came out of nowhere I've never really felt that full feeling either....since I never really feel hungry, I just eat some pureed food because I know I should so I never really ate until I felt full. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App I don't eat till I'm full either. I usually fill this small bowl I have. I think it's like 3 ounces. When I put my beans in there, I fill it to the rim and I eat all of it with no problem. The egg filled up two halfs of the bowl. So I didn't expect to get full. I guess because it is more solid than the beans? I don't know, but the fill feeling was amazing for me. This is really going to work! 1 egg? Really? I felt like I had just ate a whole footlong from Subway. The underwear comment... lol.. yeah it does come out of no where. I only mentioned it because my comfy undies are feeling a bit loose in the caboose.

I love eggs but I'm not very fond of scrambled eggs. Since I am tired of beans, I gave it a shot. I thought maybe I would actually enjoy it. Nope! The only way I could eat it, was to add a tablespoon of sugar-free ketchup. The point is, I finally felt the "full" feeling. I had one spoon left to eat from that one egg, but I was so full. I was so excited! ALSO... someone told me that I should buy new underwear. I'm glad I did, you guys should too.

Awe, you have done so well and have been so strong so far.....you may just be having a mini melt down, which is normal. I hope your feeling better today. It's so fun waking up each morning feeling a little more thinner and healthier, isn't it? I'm so pumped about finding a cute little dress to wear when I get skinny. I haven't worn a dress in probably 25 years I've got such wide shoulders and carried a lot of weight in my stomach so dresses just didn't look good on me. What is it that your looking forward to wear again? Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App I can comfortably eat and enjoy what I'm eating now.. Kind of. I'm finally out of the twenties. I'm at 219.2.. just 19.4 pounds away from my first goal. That's a total of 34.4 pounds I have been stalling this week, though. I'm trying not to become discouraged. I expected it so I don't understand why it's bumming me out. Maybe I am depressed? I don't know... I do have a few dresses I purchased right before surgery because they were on sale. I felt like I was expecting a baby and I was shopping for baby clothes. Lol I'm soooo looking forward to fitting them on. How is everything going for you?

I had a hard time today... I think I have been very strong since surgery. I came to visit my mother and she was making pork ribs with rice (her famous rice). I admit I wanted to eat so bad but ONLY out of fear of getting sick, I didn't. That isn't what bothered me. What bothered me was the thought of when it would be okay to eat rice with pork ribs. I know it's not okay now, but will I ever be able to eat pork? What about white rice? The rice I grew up with??! These thoughts kept getting longer and longer until I finally started crying. Sushi? Taquitos? I didn't think I'd miss food like this. I love pop corn. I love eating it with flamin' hot cheetos. When will I be able to enjoy that again? Sigh. Finally doubt set in.. Did I make the right choice? I'm just having a rant... it's hard because the pureed food I'm eating now, I eat it so slow that I don't even enjoy it. Tiny little bites and I can't even taste. I feel so robbed. I know it's for my health and when I step on the scale, it's worth it but I still feel sad sometimes.

liquid foods I'm having 4 ounces (thick soups). pureed foods, I'm having 2-3 ounces. If I have more than that, I feel sick. Not sick like dumping syndrome, but I feel sick like uncomfortable. It's hard to explain it. I don't know if that is what "full" feels like, but I am labeling it as I'm full. So I stop.
