Dying for BBQ here! Ya think I can....???



Recommended Posts

You might want to let it sit out??

Well, I poured it into a glass but left it in the fridge so it could stay cold. Do you mean I should take it out of the fridge?

I'll try the metal spoon.

My grandma used to put a teeny tiny pinch of sugar into fizzy drinks to make them go flat (beware, it turns it into a fountain!)... But I don't know if a teeny pinch of sugar would be allowed? I guess in a big enough qty of coke, it would be

I'm barely 8 days out and just on full liquids. Do you think I could kill my craving by putting a bit of BBQ Sauce (just a tad) to my cottage cheese?

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Lovingly,

I don't see why not. Just not very thick. I 'LICKED' my husband's bar-b-q'd chicken and shrimp.....seriously, just to taste it!!! I wasn't even hungry, he really just wanted me to taste it, it was new seasoning and sauce he was trying out, we were hanging out in Galveston while I was recovering!

To make the coke go flat fast, just drop a mentos in it. Of course it tastes a bit minty afterward, and there won't be much liquid left in the bottle. :confused1:

I'm still kind of craving my soda. I did finally drink some and spit it out. Then, I decided to try the thing with letting it go flat and then drinking it. Has anyone tried that?

I've seen it recommended in some of the surgeon's postop diet plans. Unfortunately, it is taking FOREVER for the soda to go flat. It's been in the fridge for like three days and still has little bubbles in it. I actually took a sip one day when I though the bubbles were gone and discovered later that there were still bubbles. It freaked me out but nothing happened. How long does it take for soda to go flat enough to drink?

Get a straw and blow into it like kids do. After a minute it will be as flat as a pancake!

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
