I do soft scrambled eggs, but I can only eat about half an egg so I usually share with my son.

I like to puree grilled chicken chunks with some shredded cheese, a bit of fat free sour cream and some mild salsa... tastes like a chicken soft taco without the tortilla :-) I make some and it takes me 2 or 3 days to eat it at 2 to 3 ounces a meal for lunch and dinner.< br>
I also puree grilled chicken chunks and shredded cheese with a little light ranch dressing and some BBQ sauce... reminds me of Wendy's BBQ ranch salad without the salad part lol

You can find any opinion you want on any subject that you search for on the Internet.

Scientific testing on vaping liquids has NOT been done, therefore there are NO actual facts regarding vaping available like there is for other products that have had years or decades of testing.

My information is based on the fact that my husband makes vaping liquid... so I know EXACTLY what goes into the liquid and (other than nicotine) it is ALL food grade substances that are safe for human usage / consumption.

I am 2 weeks post surgery today... I got up this morning and put on a shirt... and for the first time in years, I did not have to then pull, tug, and stretch it until it was comfortable enough to wear... it went on and I was like, whoa... this fits as is!! I've had to pull and stretch my shirts for so long... to put on a shirt and not have to do that felt amazing!!

I remembered that you and I shared a surgery date... I'm so sorry to hear that things went so badly for you... I had been wondering how you were doing.
I'm glad to hear you're home now - that usually helps me feel better - familiar surroundings and all - and I hope you continue to improve! Chin up! The hard part is over - your WL "tool" is ready to use and now you can just work it!

Yes I'm having the same issue AND now I'm experiencing another issue, too... my posts (and the posts of others)... if longer than one sentence... cut off suddenly and end in a link that says "Bariatric Pal App"... so when trying to read a rhread, most of the posts all have a partial sentence and end like that, making reading them very difficult.

Oh and Congratulations on the surgery!

No, sorry... there are none of those chemicals in vaping liquid. The base liquid is either vegetable glycerin or propelyne glycol (both are food grade) and the flavoring is all food grade as well (same flavorings they use for drinks, candies, etc... you can look them up, most are made by a company called Capellas). The only thing in there that is really bad for you is the nicotine and technically, not all vapers use a Fluid with nicotine in it... many use 0 nicotine at all.

That being said, if your liquid has nicotine, that is a no-no pre-surgery... step it back or cut the nicotine entirely... (most likely, your favorite flavor is made nicotine free as well).

I gave up vaping 0 nicotine strength liquids the day before surgery and just never went back to vaping... the only thing I'd really worry about is if you are a heavy vaper, that's a lot of Water vapor in your lungs right after a surgery ... and after surgery is a known time for lung issues involving fluid to occur... so if you can completely give it up... at least for a few weeks... you're better off IMO :-)

I must have the exact opposite taste buds as the rest of you lol
I can't STAND greek yogurt of ANY kind or brand... it's so THICK and makes my throat feel, like, STICKY for some reason. Plus one tiny teaspoon and I feel full enough to gag. It's the texture... I just can't get past it :-(

I feel you. Almost 2 weeks out and I still crave food all the time, too. All I can tell you is to occupy your mind. Set yourself goals of how often to do your intake (I sip Clear liquids all day... but at 730, 1030, 130, 430, and 730 I add in a full liquid item like Protein shake, Soup, yogurt, etc) keeping it evenly spaced will help with how hungry you feel. Plus, take on a hobby or start a walking regimen or something... I make a point of getting 10,000 steps a day, minimum... so when I'm feeling hungry but it's not "time" for something specific, I walk till I get to the next milestone I need out of my 10,000
It's a struggle... but it is worth it and it will improve!!
