Cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red/green peppers (all raw)....cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus (cooked), watermelon, berries.....

I would say no thank you- but I might get a differetn sort of drink if I was on vacation and I wanted to have a drink- depending how far post op I was. Beer won't ever be in my future again but I will drink again occasionally at some point farther down the road. It won't be my norm but I am sure I will.

That is what I am trying to do...because there were days I was ravenous and wanted to eat EVERYTHING at 3 mos post op...It could also be the warmer weather just messing with my desires to eat. Either way I am gonna try to just go with the flow. Thanks for the pep talk on protein.....

5 months....some days I am at 400 (which is too low) and occasionally I can hit 800 if I eat enough Protein. Average is 600-650. I walk 5 days a week minimum and will add in light weights/resistance soon.

I know it happens at various times...so right now I just do not want to eat. Maybe for about four days or so. I’m not eating much Protein the past two weeks or so and even the past few days I don’t want to eat much of anything. I’ll have a bite of this or that and then just excuse myself from dinner and clean up. Or I’ll take food at lunch and don’t eat it and eventually throw it out. Dense Proteins are still a pain to eat but there is plenty of food I can eat— I just haven’t been interested. I know I need to eat but what do you do when this happens. Do you consider it a lucky day and just embrace it or do you make yourself eat? I’m not sick or having any other issues. Just not interested much in food. (For once in my life LOL)

Yup. I was running into that slippery slope too— so i get it. Ugh

Most "meat" still bothers me.....I don't want to eat it either, so that's a whole other issue. Ground beef is fine but I could never eat meat again and be okay ...except bacon. ha....but pork is really bad. I have tried it a few times and I can't find a way to eat it that doesnt make me sick. Steak I can eat filet.....which is what i ate before surgery anyway. chicken is okay but only if it's like a chicken tender - and that isnt healthy sooooo......
It does get easier but it is a process and work.

Maybe make some cheese crisps or something like that to help with the cravings? Is it the cheese or the bread you want? if it's cheese, you can easily have that (even at 3 weeks I am thinking you can have something since you are on soft foods); if it's bread you may be SOL.....bread is the devil though

I would take one more test Monday morning and call the doctor. If that test is within the timeframe (usually 3 minutes) it’s pretty clear to me. But I would retest cuz I am a nut like that.
Best of luck and everything will work out great!

this isnt very reassuring LOL

Yeah, I know lol
I know as i lose more it will happen......

I know we all lose weight differently and cannot control where/how BUTTTTTT, does anyone have any suggestion to increase weight loss in the legs (the whole leg- calf, thigh) or does it eventually just happen. I found some youtube exercise videos and am going to start those along with walking daily but damnit, I cannot for the life of me get the weight to drop at all on my legs. I am losing everywhere else but legs are stubborn and I can't even get a pair of jeans to fit right now because my waist is like a 16 and my legs are not there .... very frustrating!

Oikios Triple Zero is good with 15g Protein, 6g of Fiber and 7g of naturally occurring sugar. Its 120 calories
I also like Two Good, it has 12g protein and only 3g carbs. Its 80 calories and I'll add some Protein Powder and benefiber to it.

This does looks great. Sometimes I want something italian-ish...this might do the trick. Recipe would be great but I could probably try to wing it
