Ok, now that the gas seems to be rather under control (though I may do another dose of Milk of Magnesia tonight), I am moving onto mushies! I'm hoping if I get some Protein in me, I won't be so weak. Any suggestions for mushie Proteins?

Thanks ladies! I am in Miami now and getting on the cruise ship tomorrow afternoon. Thought I may as well pop in tonight. I am being very careful but I am allowing myself one "treat" a day on this vacation. For example when we dock in Key West I am allowing myself some key lime pie.

I feel like i am losing weight pretty rapidly and am STARVING often. Maybe i need to eat mre... Cuz I rarely eat an entire cup in a sitting ( i lose interest).

Sleepy one - I am not sure what your doctor considers mushies. It could be pureed food or soft foods. I started w/ Greek yogurt, chilis, anything ground/shredded in a crockpot with BBQ Sauce or Italian dressing.

Here is what I did today:

Breakfast - 1/2c Greek yogurt

lunch - 1/4c tuna salad, 1/2 banana

dinner - 1/4c spare rib, 1/4c salmon, 1/4c potato/veggies, 1tbsp bread pudding

you do love them fudgsicles Mrs. Finch! My husband makes these seasoned french fries and I told him he cannot buy them any longer, because they look toooooo good. No more french fries, or I may be tempted to try! hehehe (that's my way of being supportive, but true!)

 

Yesterday I had 2 Protein Shakes and ate 1 oz ham salad and 2 oz potato salad mushed up. I can now drink freely! Yahoooooooooooo

Thanks and enjoy your trip Natalie. I don't blame you for one treat a day. Good plan for a cruise I think. Thanks for the mushie ideas. I was even mushier than that, so I look forward to being able to eat your suggestions! Maybe I'll make that white chili, just make it mild!

Whymomwhy.. is haddock fishy? I know I need to start eating fish, but I'm not big on fishy tasting fish. It has to be very mild for me to tolerate. I was going to experiment with different types of fish, but do not even know where to start.

I do not find it fishy I was the same way will only eat Cod Scrod and Haddock shrimp is not bad either.

I bake it with lemon juice and it helps. I used to have to dip it in ketchup to eat it but now have no problem eating it

[sleepyone405 13]

Thanks Mom, I will put that on my shopping list. I'm afraid to eat meat yet, but fish is rather soft, so I figured no time like the present to try it. Just because its been awhile since I had meat, it might just taste good!

 

Breakfast

1/4 cup cream of wheat

 

lunch

3/4 cup homemade veg barley Soup (I put it in the blender since the veggies scared me)

 

dinner

5 oz greek yogurt (now I see why ya'll eat a lot of yogurt!)

 

Dont think I hit 60 oz of Fluid, and calorie intake is still low, but I can't be sure whether or not I"m hungry or full. Wanted to try to get some chicken in after dinner, but I just can't do it.

 

I really never believed such small portions would satisfy, especially after that pre op diet when I felt like I was starving. I LOVE that 5 oz of yogurt really fills me up for quite awhile!

Hi all! Back in Miami from my cruise. Relieved to be away from the buffets, alcohol and cigarette smoking.

 

I did so-so with my eating. It was hard. Every day I had a treat - one day I had 1/2 piece of key lime pie in key west, another day 1/4 piece of cheesecake, and then another day 3 chocolate covered strawberries. I also had a glass of pineapple juice each day instead of a cocktail. I feel kinda bad for eating all that stuff but trying not to get down on myself. When I feel guilty it just makes me want to eat MORE.

 

I am proud of mysef for being active every day, walking lots, having only 1cup portions, eating Protein first and having no breads of fried foods. Before the band, I wouldn't gorged myself at the buffet ALL DAY and had 2 or 3 margaritas a day.

 

Why has this thread been so quiet?! How's everyone doing?
