So this morning with my 2 lightly-scrambled eggs, I put a tiny bit of buffalo wing sauce on the plate and just barelt touched my for tines to it before picking up some eggs. After 4+ weeks of Protein Shakes, having a little flavor/a little spice feels so good. My stomach didn't seem to mind either. Do you think that it's alright (11d post-op)?

Thank you for sharing. Seriously! I was sleeved 3/26 and no BM <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />. I'm wondering how long it took everyone else

Omg !!! Be careful the first BM I had was horrible !!! I thought well I'm only drinking liquids , this is probably why there is no BM . Holy crap !!! I was on the toilet for a good hour trying to push it out !!! Painful !!!!!

There is a buffalo chicken puree that uses the wing sauce. I have been on purees since Saturday. My favorite is refried Beans with a little salsa and fat free sour cream! I too was sleeved on March 20th down 20 lbs. Getting in my Proteins and Water not easy definitely a work in progress. Now if only I could remember all these Vitamins and pills to take!

Hey 3/20'ers,

So I'n now at the end of week 1 (of 2 weeks of purees). I purchased a block of Very Firm tofu, sliced it into 6 slices, marinated it in a combination of BBQ, L/S Soy Sauce and a bit of Wing hot sauce. I let it marinade overnight, put a piece in the pan wit a bit of Pam - 3 mins per side or so - and I love it!

Anyone else had experience with Tofu - recipes, preparations an such? - Andr is anyone using MyFitnesPal to track food intake?

I am a March 20th revision and feel tired a lot (working full time and have to travel once a week). Other than that, life is soooooooo much better than with the band! I am having cottage cheese, refried Beans, creamed Soup, along with sf Popsicles and pudding. I am drinking one whey Protein shot a day. Hope everyone else continues to do well!

I was the same day and it took 4 days. The hospital almost kept me another night because I hadn't had one yet. Warning...the first one hurts! I cheated and had coffee to start mine (2oz did the trick). Good luck! You need to have one though its been way too long...may be suppository time!

      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!!
