Hmmmmm.....I wonder if you can blend a taco?!! ....my daughter lives with me and she does a lot of her cooking anyway....now I'll be able to get one pk chop, chicken whatever and she can have rest! One day I'll try my recipe for crab cakes. But, I still get to clean up! lol

You could blend a taco I think with extra salsa, I've been having some ground turkey, with salsa and melt a little cheese on top, does the same effect for me, sometimes I'll crack some shells in it. (or I do ground turkey with marinara and mozzarella)

I've only tried ground turkey once and it wasn't very tasty. What brand do you prefer?

Do you think that ground sirloin like a 90/10 would be just as healthy as the turkey?

Imagine 923...Egg Foo Yong is a fast food chinese dish made is scrambled eggs, onion, grn peppers and meat...like shrimp , pork or beef. They have there own special seasonings. It's usually served over rice and smothered in gravy. They take the eggs and make them into a pattie. I read that it's okay to eat just the patties.

From what I can remember as a child , it was reaallll good!

I love to try and copy cat Chinese dishes, just recently mastered Crab Rangoon (prior to surgery) .l am going to see if I can find a recipe for Egg Foo Yong, that way I can avoid the extra sodium from the fast food joints.

I get my ground turkey from WD or Publix. My Dad used to fry it and put pepper on it ...made it taste like sausage!! WD has some good turkey burgers(Jennie-O brand) We liked having those and dressing up with Tomato and lettuce, cheese ect. We get 93/7 fatfree ground beef.

Are cheese sticks considered soft/mushie? I found a great recipe on Spark People made with low fat cheese sticks, italian seasonings and panko .

That may be the first thing I choose to cook this week .

I liked hummus, egg drop Soup, yogurt, and Lipton noodle Soup. I make chilli almost weekly. I cook alot of my meats in the crockpot it makes them moist and tender which you will soon learn is the only way to get it down. I never blended anything, the thought of it turned my stomach.

What are you using your hummus on? I usually use baby carrots and of course, they aren't on the mushy or soft food diet.

Well, I like fat free pretzels or saltines. I also like baby carrot sticks, sliced squash, zucchini. Sometimes I mix lit up with horsradish mustard and dip my sliced turkey! Yummy!

Jennie-o or honey suckle brand is what I use, my family prefers it to ground beef now!

May I suggest that now is the time to make really healthy choices? If you realize you can eat a purée taco or chili dog, it might become a more frequent part of your diet - that will be really rough before you get restriction.

It is just my suggestion and if you can eat a chili dog and not want another one the next day then just ignore me! I am staying far away from foods that I crave because I want to try to stop that craving cycle.

I have also been eating a few crackers with dip of some sort. I am worried about eating the crackers, but I had to have some texture a little bit! I drink a sip of Water after a few well-chewed and mushed crackers, just to make sure they are liquid-y. Not enough water to wash it down, just soften it up (hopefully). I am 14 days out today!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        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. 💜
