I eat hamburger- a couple bites- chili- I made chicken salad (no noodles)- Soups. Their the bad thing is it was my bday and there I was- eating slivers of cake. The last time I felt like ceap because I had just ate lunch- figuring I would not be able to eat as much. I was right but I felt like crap. I don't get dumping syndrome. I just get the good old' guilt like I had pre surgery. I'm so scared I won't be able todo this- its crazy! So I parked my butt on my couch and made myself drink my Powerade zero instead of grazing and now I'm waiting on meatloaf. I won't touch the potatoes. It's the sweets that get me

Wendy's chili is good and cheap! Had the same large container all last week for lunch and then some. Tastes just as good in the blender if you are still on puréed foods.

Omg it does lmao I gave up and just make a big thing of chill and freeze it in Little 2 ounce containers. Had it all day today kids like it so that works. The strangest thing I'm no longer lactose intolerant after surgery 0.o . I was big time before but now mm milk is good lol. In all I'm doing really well Wednesday will be my three weeks.

I have a miserable cold. Coughing my lungs out - and I've taken plenty of cough medicine. Nothing really sounds good - especially Protein. I had some Soup and had to pretty much force that. No way I'll make protein' date=' Fluid or walking goals today :(

Feeling pretty bummed......[/quote']

What cold medicines are we allowed to take? My throat and chest feel raw. I hope you feel better soon!

I don't think there are limitations on what we can take as long as the pain reliever is Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and not an NSAID. I'm taking Robitussin but it just isn't working as well as it usually does. I'm wondering if it's because the medicine doesn't stay in my stomach long enough or something......

Hope you feel better soon too :)

Um I have a few all from Celebrate. It all started with my first cheat- I gather that moderation isn't something I can handle. Tomorrow I'm going to really try to avoid any extra carbs. I can't do it.

You know, in the baby food section there are what they call Toddler Foods and they have these cheese puffs that are whole grain and low fat and really good. Maybe not quite as good as Cheetos but really pretty good. My granddaughter loves them.

These are the ones - http://www.vitacost.com/gerber-graduates-lil-crunchies-mild-cheddar-1-48-oz

And while there is no Protein in them they also are very low in fat and carbs. 16 cheese curls have 2 grams of fat and 4 carbs. Made with 100% whole grain corn and 30% less sodium than regular cheese puffs.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
