Ok guys tomorrow I start soft foods' date=' AND tomorrow is Tuesday, meaning I have to pack every meal but Breakfast since I won't be home until 11 pm. So here is my plan:

Breakfast: pumpkin ricotta purée at home

Morning snack: fruit cup, 1/2 cup milk in my coffee

Lunch: canned chicken (Caesar flavor)

Afternoon snack: 50g shaved leg. Ham, 1 string cheese, 1 tsp mustard

Evening: 40g hummus, 3 cruskits, 1 string cheese

I will also pack one optislim in case something doesn't agree with me. I'm nervous![/quote']

Good luck mitsysj! As long as your prepared I'm sure you'll do fine. But cudos on thinking to bring the extra optislim. Great idea! I did the same and now I have about 5 or 6 shakes sitting in my draw at work just in case! Or just for a Protein hit!

I had another great weigh-in and updated my signature. I'm in the 80s in kg, in Onederland in pounds, and just plain morbidly obese! Plus I think I weigh less than my husband, who is a foot taller than me.

I had training today (and tomorrow) off-site. This facility has awesome catering. I was able to eat morning tea and lunch and only ate a snack I has brought for lunch. Here is what I had and I didn't feel sick at all.

Breakfast at home: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 small banana

Morning tea: a tangerine and about 1/3 of a sausage roll

Lunch: a prawn, a few bites of baked chicken (pretty moist and I took tiny bites), a crouton, a bit of boiled egg, half a thin slice of salami, a couple noodles from a noodle salad, small piece of Tomato, small piece of capsicum. And one bite of strawberry cake. I logged all this and it was about 130 calories.

Afternoon snack: 2 cheese sticks (instead of a timtam)

I will probably just have the last of my purée chicken with some gravy for dinner. I will end up just over 800 calories.

I listed this to show people what they might be able to look forward to. I know some people don't tolerate this stuff.

One thing is that I have been able to tolerate Water but now that I'm on solids Water tastes bitter. :(

Thank you misty.Your food diaries are a big help with what to expect.Congratulations on the weight loss so far.

I'm glad it helps! For dinner I had one egg, very gently scrambled, 3 g of mozzarella, and 40 g of salsa. It was filling but again no trouble.

Keep in mind that my dietitian told me I don't need to do a specific soft food stage, but just chew everything very well and avoid dry meat for a while. Some people wouldn't try raw veggies yet. I haven't had much of any one solid food. Maybe that's why I have tolerated everything well. His chewing guideline is don't swallow until every chunk is smaller than a single pea. Also I stopped eating lunch when everyone else was done. I just ate a lot less.

How's everyone going?? Been a bit quiet this week.

Wasn't going to have a good funeral but have been counting down my "last meals". 3 days in Central QLD and then off to NZ for 3 nights next week so going to have my fill of eating out for sure. Mum is coming to cook for me even Sunday night!

That's a funny typo. :) Just so you know you can edit your post if you click near the top of it.

I have been in training the past two days, and I'm taking tomorrow as a holiday. We are going camping at Noosa north shore!

I have had no problem at all eating solid food. I had chicken salad tonight with some diced capsicum and onion and had no trouble even though some people seem to have trouble with raw veg. I have had meat and crackers and a bit of rice and avocado and boiled egg. I don't know if I am just lucky or what, but I'm just taking everything slowly and in tiny bites and chewing well. I had a couple mini quiche today for morning tea even!

Managing to stay under 900 calories right now even though I could definitely eat many more if I chose the wrong foods.

Lots of Last Suppers!!! You will be able to enjoy all your favourites with the sleeve, but in small quantities. I say enjoy the quantities while you can if you want to as it will be the last time you will be able to. A mental saying goodbye to feasting.

Lol! Did a big double take reading this one Brendani :))

Starting to fight the urge to 'last supper' myself. I know that I will eventually eat just about everything I like after the sleeve - just in teensy portions. All those years of dieting and calorie counting have done my head in.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
