How Are U All Coping With Not Being Able To Eat Bbq Today On 4Th Of July?

[ThickChocolate 2]

I'm 7 days out and almost tired of eating broth, Jello etc..I'm taking it one day at a time because I do need to lose the weight and regain my good health back...I knew it was going to be days like this before the surgery...I'm just praying to heal and to be able to eat a grill salad again one day...Happy 4th of July!!

I know how you are feeling. My day was Memorial Day. But even if you tried you would be in so much pain. Just think of the good thing you have just done for yourself!

I totally understand. I have been going crazy with liquid diet. Today we were at a pool party and everyone was eating hotdogs and such... I asked if I could heat up some Soup .. Ugh... Hopefully I can eat something that I can use my teeth for...

I can say honestly that it didn't really bother me. I am making noise to my DH just because I can, but the thought of eating ribs really didn't appeal to me. Strange? It seems strange to me! I am still on liquids, but I didn't miss eating them. I didn't crave a taste. I am sick to death of my liquids, but nothing cooked today spoke to me like it would have prior to surgery.

U are so right..I have lost 10 lbs already....how many weeks are u out and weight loss? What are some of the foods u eat now ????

I suppose it was kind of easy for me. I just stayed away from family get-togethers. But the reason I didn't go is because of menstral stomach cramps. I've just been laying around all day, drinking my juices and Water and Protein shakes. I haven't smelled any BBQ, so I haven't missed it.

Now that darn Olive Garden commercial where they keep showing the creamy Pasta slipping and sliding onto the plate? That's another story entirely!

Well today I decided to not go to any bbqs or anything. Instead I went to see the movie Ted with my boyfriend and mom haha. I am going to eat some pureed black bean Soup, and a quarter cup of mashed up potatoes for dinner, then I'm heading over to a family house for some fireworks (: That way I didn't have to see anyone eating their lovely bbq, and I still got to enjoy the day!

You had surgery on June 27th and you're eating mushies already??? I am soooooo jealous...

[pkehrer 79]

I'm same as you, one week

[CJ_Redux 137]

And you can tolerate it just fine, pkehrer?? I haven't tried any cuz my post-op diet doesn't allow for it until week 3. But doggonit it! I want something more than these Protein shakes!!!

I had surgery on June 28th. I don't know what my weightloss is because I haven't weighed myself. I am going to let my doctor do it tomorrow at my 1 week follow up. I am on clears basically until tomorrow. I start full liquids tomorrow. I am ready for pureed! I want some Beans or some tuna! Something that is not completely liquids! If I NEVER see chicken broth again...

I am also one week out. Today was the first day the head hunger has messed with my head. I have not felt hunger or even been tempted to eat until today. Come on purées.

Doing good! I even surprised myself! Second day for pre op diet and no cheating not even once. My surgeon has me on a high Protein, salad veggies (no tomoates, no fruit, no bread, no Pasta, Beans or corn) diet.

Just keeping the eye on the prize. I was disappointed with my family, they told me they would have veggies for me. I ate cucumbers and low fat meats and a SF cherry Jello, that I split with my 18 month old.

It is so worth it!

This was the same plan as me and I tolerated the puréed black bean Soup and quarter cup of a mashed potato really well! And let me tell u I feel sooo much better now. It really helped calm my head hunger!
