I guess I should consider myself lucky, as I can drink an 11oz protien shake in one sitting (during the span of 20 mins). I am also able to eat a cup of non-fat yogurt in the same amount of time. Between yougurt and shakes, I sip on Water. I no longer suffer from gas pain, though I can still feel it. Im making sure to get in as much walking as possible. Tomorrow is one week post-op. Looking forward to eating real food.< /p>

I don't puree my eggs. I add feta and they are sorry enough. Today i broiled talapia and sauteed kale, spinach, peppers, onions and lemon juice and white cooking wine. I put the veggies in the ninja and put them atop the fish....it was so yummy. Eat very small bites.....

My biggest problem is I can't stand fish of any kind. What other options do I have?

Ok. In my own room and already feeling pretty Dang good!

Surgery was a like 10am' date=' was only in 30-40 minutes. I had some lain when I woke up, but they hit me with Dilaudid and I have no pain at all now....other than GAS! OMG!

I've never wished for a 'toot' as much as I have these last few hours!!!! I'm walking two laps around the entire floor I'm on every hour...still nothing. They just gave me a Gas-X melt strip...we'll see if that helps.

What worked for you????[/quote']

Just keep walking, that worked for me..(:

You could also do mashed or boiled potato. Season with herbs, garlic, etc. I also tried low salt lean deli meat.... chopped really finely and ate with eggs.< /p>

Isn't scrambled egg whites enough??? I mean that alone is pretty soft and tiny

Yes that is why I have tried them without pureeing them and it was fine. I just dont like them any more period lol!

I had my 2 week post op appt and my NUT said you are blending everything right? I said yes but if the foos is mushy enough I am not! I'm passed this stage lol. Tonight I am having parmesan crusted cod. I refuse to blend that! I will be taking small small bites and chewing until mush.

I am very careful what I'm eating as I do not want to hurt my new tummy

DivaNurse and Susan, I'm so sorry to hear about all you've been going through. I pray that things just continue to get better from here.

Thank God DivaNurse that you made it out ok. I will continue to pray for your speedy recovery.

One of our biggest fears are leaks or some unforeseen medical emergency.

Continue to keep us posted on your progress. It's so hard being the patient when we are so accustomed to being the caregiver.

People on the forums kept saying how they threw up eggs. I really hope I don't have that expierience as I'm limited to foods as is especially since I don't like cooked veggies or fish!! I'm so excited to try food tomorrow and I just keep praying it agrees with me

So tomorrow I am FINALLY able to start mushy foods! Sooo excited! I've been on nothing but liquids for four weeks now and I am going insane!!!!! I'm going to try an start with an egg white omelette as I've been craving one for weeks(so sad that THIS is exciting to me now). I was wondering if anyone has any other good ideas for mushy foods. I'm a really super picky eater so any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I just ate cheese! Yum! Going to have a scrambled egg for dinner! Never thought I would appreciate chewing so much!

      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!!
