I really loved soups/stews after surgery. Here were some of my faves and most freeze beautifully into single servings for work. Remember, even if it is a regular Soup (I loved roasted red pepper/tomato, for example, you can always stir in some unflavored Protein Powder before you heat it up to increase the Protein level. (If you wait until it's hot, it may clump.)) Also, in the beginning, sub out ground meats for whatever is called for in the recipe.

Some of my favorite no brainer foods that I could make and keep in the fridge:
tuna, salmon, or chicken salad made with hard boiled egg and cultured low fat cottage cheese (replacing mayo) with a dab of Greek yogurt and dijon, some Pickle Juice or relish (which i could get out of mushie phase).
chicken green bean "casserole"--I made up little microwave ramekins with the mixture. Just follow the green bean casserole recipe from Thanksgiving and cut quantities in quarter or half. Add a can or two of drained, flaked canned chicken. Then split up and cover. Nuke just before serving. Add a couple of the fried onion or fried garlics from salad toppers. Yum.
I also made ground turkey and mushrooms and cubed zucchini or baby spinach, and would add a spoon of Heinz gravies from a jar (any kind--I like brown gravy best).
I mostly just did fish, chicken, turkey, shrimp + veg + healthy fat. Super easy to cook your meat in small batches. 1 piece of chicken could last days in the early days. Then use frozen veg cuz easy to measure and weigh and they are mushier than fresh -- until you can tolerate texture better.
Hope that helps.

apiane got a reaction from Deedee12 in Any August 2019 people out there?
My surgical clearance is done! I have all of the prescriptions I'm going to need after surgery and I'm just waiting to hear from the hospital about scheduling my seminar and blood work. And to boot I lost 1.5 lbs! I'm so ready!

Thank you! I’m a bundle of nerves but I’m going to try to just enjoy the new few days off of work with my two little ones and let whatever happens, happen.
The coordinator called and let me know that the last two forms they requested are sent back and she designated everything as “urgent” with my surgery date next to it so she said if she doesn’t hear anything tomorrow, she’ll give them a call Monday.

apiane reacted to HopefulonLI in Guys I had an English muffin with cream cheese. And god DAMN it was good but now I feel like I’ve messed everything up!!!!!!
It’s funny because I’ve lost 17lbs in 2 weeks (!!) and I think it’s supposed to be more. You’re exactly right - I’m watching that show too much! Lol. I should be so proud of 17lbs but my brain is “rush rush rush”. I appreciate your words as it’s definitely helping me. And you’re right about weight - I was 238 when I started!

Oh and wearing something besides 2X graphic tees every day. That's all I feel comfortable in now. And wearing a well fitting bra to make the ladies look better. Lol.

apiane got a reaction from NagathaChristie in I'm so excited about... Protien powder???
My husband just surprised me and ordered the Starter pack from Unjury so I can try all of their Protein powders. It's scary how excited I am! But I'm ready to see what will work for me on my liquid diet, and for protein after! I feel like this is a step that will get me to my next appointment. Anyone else have a similar experience?

apiane got a reaction from Flo-grown in Bariatric surgery was a big mistake
I'm having surgery August 5th (sleeve) and I'm honestly so EXCITED that none of the shade bothers me. I'm ready to get on the losers bench and I've never had an emotional attachment to food (gained the weight from being on a medicine I'm no longer on) and I have read SO much I feel like I know this process inside and out. I'm going to ROCK this !😎
