beauty and the beast

Yes. These are allowed by my Dr. I eat slowly and chew everything really well and swallow small pieces at a time. My most favorite is my morning soft fried egg. So delish....

Hi I'm starting pureed foods and would like some suggestions as to what I can eat besides yogurt, cream of wheat and creamed Soups. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks

Yes, the thread of discussion started some time ago, but you will notice that there are postings from this month and as recent as a couple of days ago. You could start a thread on what you need or are willing to sell. Just a thought.

Thank you but it's not a link to that site. It's an old thread from 2003 Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

Isn't there some sort of a clothes swap site? Where you keep rotating close sizes with others so you don't have to keep spending money on new clothes?

No problem n I don't chew a lot of it just now n again, jaws get tired lol

Yeah I do scrambled with a bit of almond milk n cheese so there fluffier n a Lil wetter so to speak. Easier on the new tummy. I have them with salsa for a different taste lol.
Try a Lil bit of canned chicken or scrambled eggs if you think your tummy is ready for it. Mine only hurts if I eat to quick or gulp Water. If I eat slow n small drinks I'm fine but each our own. N if you don't wanna try that's fine too go at your own pace. I had to chew though n gum wasn't cutting it anymore

No, not really. I've had canned chicken, canned roast beef (chew chew), hamburger ground like for lasagna n as long as it's juicy it's ok. I even had a Lil salad n it's fine. cheese is fine also, that's really all I've had lol just stuff to chew that's high in Protein besides the lettuce.
What about you, how are you doing?

I dream about food as crazy as that is. I know it's gotten a bit better since I started eating soft foods but geez it was bad lol

Same here! I started a PPI on Tuesday. I get full but then I am hungry two hours later. I feel like I am thinking about food 24 x 7

Same here, but I'm still struggling to get my 64oz of Water. I feel like I can eat a horse.

Stomach acid can mimic hunger. If you are getting enough Water and Protein then your hunger may be due to stomach acid. Try taking the PPI and see if it helps.

My docs plan said to drink 4oz Protein Drinks 6x daily =about 24oz and in between that I was supposed to drinks 4-8oz of no calorie beverages crystal light, diet Snapple, broths, Water etc. I feel fine a week out and have lost 10lbs so far but it is hard to wake up at 8am and take in all the recommended fluids by 6pm. It takes me until about 9pm still. The time it takes is getting better as my stomach heals. I am on full fluids for another 2 weeks but I get to have yogurt cream Soups and cream of wheat too so its okay lol Good luck!!!!

My surgery is tommorrow also. I'm really nervous too. Good luck I'm sure you'll do great!! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

I didn't have a set amount. But, if setting short term goals helps you get it all in then that can be a good strategy.

I was a size 22 and didn't buy new clothes until I was size 18. Mostly because plus sizes fit for so long - all that elastic. When my pants started falling, that's when I discovered I was a size 18. I would buy two pairs of pants and 4-5 shirts and then repeat once I'd dropped two sizes. So at size 14, 10, etc. Basically, I bought just what I could get by with for work because I want to save my pennies for when I'm at goal. It's no fun, especially when you see all the cute clothes that you can now fit into, but I just keep my eye on the prize at the end.
I purged my closet each time I had to buy new clothes. If it didn't fit, it went. Just donate and get rid of it all. Don't agonize over it or think of the wasted money or anything - just let it all go. It's very freeing to see that nearly empty closet and know it's because you've made such progress and done something amazing for yourself.

Pretty good here. Post op day 4. Working mostly just on fluids as the Proteins just aren't appetizing at this point. Pain is good though except my throat.
