Congratulations. And great weight loss.

I had my first mushies yesterday and feel just as excited - food that tastes like food, not sweet or milky. Still having a shake for Breakfast, and yoghurt for lunch. Not hungry. Have cheated a bit - supposed to start mushies on Thursday, but feel great, bought a blender and making them real mushy.

Happy days for you and me.

Thanks babsy ...I was just as excited to go onto Mushies too but after 2 weeks was glad to get off them again and onto the real stuff.. :smile2:

I blended everything spag.Bol and Pasta ...chicken and baked potato, Beans and Gravy .. Curried chicken veggies and rice...(just a samll bowl) it was so nice after all the sweet stuff , had Soup for lunch and porridge for breakie....It looked YUCK !! just like baby food but it tasted just like I was eating the real stuff....:thumbup:

Tonight I had a chicken thigh fillet dry pan fried a scoop of mashed potato with sweet potato, small spoon of Quinoa, a bit of broccoli and carrots with gravy (enough that fits on a bread and butter plate) , My hubby had the same only lots more on a big plate he was finished while I was only half way through :tongue2: eating slow, small mouthfuls and chewing well I have had no pain or problems...Havent tried bread yet will try a piece of toast tomorrow night with baked Beans or mabe a half a muffin toasted ..

I don`t cook Wednesdays is a easy night and everyone maked toasted sandwiches for themselves:thumbup:

Hope you enjoy your Mushie days , Keep up the good work ...

Night from me its late and I need my beauty sleep....:wub:

Majj, that sounds so yummy. Tonight I just had chunky beef & vegetable Soup blended. My hubby (stay at home house husband while I work full time) had to go out early, so we all looked after our own meals. What is quinoa? Never heard of it.

Hi Babs...

We all do our own thing on Wednesday nights too , I had a toasted muffin and a small can of weight watchers Baked Beans, and later for dessert a diet chocolate pudding (tub).... :scared2:

Quinoa is a seed that I saw cooked on Australia`s Biggest Looser show used in place of rice , I checked it out its a lot healthier for you and all the family liked it , I had no trouble eating it so I will use it quite often.. I got it in the health food section of the supermarket....

Heres the link on it...

Quinoa Nutrition Facts

Time for bed feeling sleepy tonight as I read very late last night.... :thumbup:

Chat later...

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
