Chancie: You could slim that down by using low cal mayo or this great new olive oil mayo that is out. Kraft makes it I believe. The olive oil would taste fab with that I bet!

11/2

Breakfast: Oat bar with bluberries, 6 oz non fat milk

Lunch: Hummus snack pack, two slices swiss cheese

Snack: No sugar added applesauce

Dinner: pureed chicken with 2 tbls cheddar and 1 tsp blue cheese dressing. 2 oz pureed carrots, all mixed together. I am not on soft foods anymore I just like my pureed recipes. So much less chewing at the end of a long day.

Late night snack :scared0:: Two (yes two) mini kit cat bars and 4 (yes four) candy corn hershy kisses. Damit! That was like 500 calories. Stupid Halloween candy. It is all gone now. I made candy bags for my coworkers and put them on desks this morning.

Bad day today......

I FORGOT to eat!..... all day!

I had my coffee and Protein as usuall, but after that things got away from me.

I bought a new stove and had to have someone come out and hook up the vent hood, and I had my dryer he had to fix, and then I was in the middle of cleaning house, and yes, it just got away from me.

So I remembered, and took some chiken and brocolli out and I tried to eat, was good going in, but 10 minutes later.......I vomited it all up. it was HORRIBLE !!

Think it was because I waited so long to eat???

I didn't eat too fast....... ( HONEST!! )

But, man it was gross!!

Did you take tiny bites and chew well? I can't imagine why it would come back up if you did, especially if you did not get too full.

Well today I tried DownInSoCal's ham roll-ups (although mine were Turkey) - light cream cheese, artichoke hearts & spinach blended together and spread on deli meat. I added some minced garlic and sea salt to the mixture as well. It is SO YUMMY. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a big bowl (like 6oz - how my perception after VSG has changed) of it in my fridge and I am already looking forward to having it again tomorrow.

Anyway, here's what I had today:

Breakfast: Protein hot chocolate made with coffee

24 oz water

Lunch: 2 turkey roll ups (3oz turkey)

20 oz Water w/ crystal light

Snack: 1 turkey roll up (1.5oz turkey)

20 oz water

Dinner: 1/4 cup leftover taco meat with just a sprinkle of 2% grated chedder and a tbsp of light sour cream and salsa

24 oz water w/ crystal light

Dessert: ?? Probably a BariWise Caramel Crunch Protein Bar (like a 100 Grand candy bar) - yummers!

iLinda, I so wish I could eat like you. I am still on mushies.I want to chew something crunchy so bad. It could be something healthy, I do not care. I did not realize I would miss chewing so much. I know when I get to the whole foods stage I will get to chewX3, but, I am miserable waiting. I am just tired of drinking everything. Okay, my whiny rag is over. Thanks for listening everyone. BTW:The scale at the gym I joined weighs me at 4 lbs lighter than my scale at home! What is up with that? The Dr's scale weighted me 3lbs lighter. I am still going by what my home scale sez. Maybe I will get a new one, one that does body fat as well as weight. Has anyone bought one of thoes and does it help at all? My BMI at the gym was 3 points higher than here also? I need to stop obcessing about the scale and BMI huh? Ok. Off to have my cream of wheat.

Chancie -

What Protein Powder do you put in your coffee? 52 g protein - wow! I had that same Lean Cuisine the day before yesterday. I couldn't finish it all. I had to laugh because never before could I imagine myself not being able to eat a WHOLE Lean Cuisine. :mellow:

Chancie - Eat it! I spread mine in two slices of swiss, colby, munster, or other cheese and roll it up, lunch. I also put it on lunch meats. You can put it on crackers or pita chips too too. I also eat it straight. Some people like it on hard boiled eggs.< /p>

Linda: When are you going to post pics? You always eat so good and do good with your Water. You are like the model VSG'r.

Yesterday:

Breakfast: 8 oz steamed milk

Snack: Halloween cookie! It was good

Lunch: pureed chicken with a little shredded cheddar and 1 tsp blue cheese dressing, and pureed carrots. About 5 oz in total. Took me over an hour but I wanted the carrots bad. They are so sweet and fab when pureed.

Dinner: 4 oz refried Beans with a sprinkle cheddar and dollap light sour cream. I didn't finish it all.

Down in Socal -

No, not a model VSG'r - my weakness is currently RF Wheat Thins. I haven't bought another box so hopefully I can resist them. My family and I eat out several times a week after ball games and I definitely eat some of the "wrong" things at those times, I just don't have very much of it. My goal on most days is to eat well for Breakfast, lunch and snack so I can have whatever I want for dinner. If a happen to be home for dinner, I usually eat well; if we go out, it's hit or miss.

As for pictures, I will have to get my husband to take some new ones to post. I starting to feel the pressure :mellow:

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
