Congrats! 🎉 I'm Feb 25th! The excitement increases the closer you get!

All systems Go, surgery March 3rd.....And I begin my liver shrinking diet today. It's getting real people..I can't wait Happy Dance

I keep yogurt packed in my fridge. It's really the easiest grab-and-go that I have. tuna is also a staple for me. I just add a little mayo, Sriracha, and lemon juice when I'm ready to eat! Yum!

Yogurt with sliced almonds

Oh and here’s a pic from yesterday.
Feeling strong and accomplished and I refuse to feel one bit apologetic or guilty about it.

Beans for sure Are my go to - Re fried rolled in a light tortilla

I keep a container of cooked quinoa in the fridge, along with hummus and other toppings to make quinoa bowls. It's a nice soft consistency that goes down nice, and I can make it as spicy as I want, depending on the sauces and mix ins I add to it.

Yogurt.

Early on I ate 1/4 to 1/3 cup of refried Beans (canned organic) with some cheese sprinkled. Just microwave it to melt the cheese.

slow cooked meals. .it allows me to get more then Protein in because if i make normal meals i can never get past the protein for some reason even at 15 months out.

Scrambled eggs. Quick, easy, and versatile.

Had my surgery (Bypass) on nov 18 as well. I’m about 15 lbs behind you. Good job! I stalled for a bit.

Nov 18 down 64 lbs. stalled out. Not excited yet....maybe in another 10-15 lbs I’ll get really pumped. I too worry a lot about failing in the future.

It’s weird but since my surgery I have been cooking for others A LOT. I don’t eat my creations but I enjoy cooking it. I’ve been thinking about this and I believe it’s my way of staying involved in the social aspect of food. Anyone else find themselves having a urge to cook a lot or am I just weird.

I’m having same stall same timeframe. I don’t really want anything besides my shakes. I feel like it’s a chore to try some “soft” options but I do it anyway.

How about vegetable Soup. Do you have to separate solids from liquid for life?

nope. That rule never ends - it's lifelong. Drinking too soon after eating washes the food out of your pouch (your pyloric valve has been bypassed, so there's nothing to hold the food in your stomach if you start drinking)

Has anyone progressed to the point where you can drink something during your meal. I still loathe the thought of not being able to wash something down.

Not sure why but took a bite of a string cheese thinking I could chew it up good enough. I’m still in purée stage. It did not end well. Hoping it goes thru all those small holes. I was feeling a little cocky up until then.

I stretched during the night and had shooting pains for a day. It resolved and I don’t feel it anymore but I was worried for sure. Made a mental error unrelated to that instance where I picked up my three year old instinctively so he could see a passing jet. He’s about 40 lbs. I instantly put him back down and was worried but I didn’t feel anything thank goodness!

Feel better today. I’ll treat it as a lessons learned. Thanks everyone. I think that kind of cheese is on the soft diet. I may not touch it for a year!!
