Do I was wandering if anyone minded sharing recipes so I can prepare what to take? My email is valmhughes@icloud.com. Thanks everyone for all the support along my journey :)

I did a lot of puréed tuna and chicken salad. Another one of my favorite things was puréed chicken with taco sauce, a little cheese and sour cream. You can do the same thing with refried Beans. If you're going away, you can take the little cups of applesauce, baby food fruits, cottage cheese (I used the whipped at that stage). I also made some meals in the crockpot for my husband that had a lot of sauce, then just puréed my portion. Ricotta cheese with a little sauce and mozzarella heated up in the microwave is like the insides of lasagna. Hope this helps!

I have read a few people puree Wendy's chili. I made lentil Soup and chili, portioned out 1/2 cup servings into zip baggies and froze them....all ready to defrost and puree.

I made Moosewood's Butternut Squash Soup,

herbed peas (that I then put in the food processor),

stewed pears,

applesauce,

lasagna (homemade Tomato sauce with lots of herbs, layered with ricotta mixed with salt, pepper, one egg, and Parmesan cheese, and then bake it for 15 minutes in an oven or toaster oven. I constructed those in a small oven-safe bowl,in single portion sizes)

Buffalo chicken salad- 1 can of chicken (or a small chicken breast) in the food processor with 2T blue cheese, 2T celery, Franks hotsauce to taste, and lite Ranch dressing to get to the right consistency.

I also pureed the dinners that my husband was having, sometimes.

Stew beef or pork cooked in the crock pot for a LONG TIME pureed really really well. Then, you can also puree up the carrots and onions that were in there as your veggie.

At the beginning I ate 2T Protein, 1T fruit, 1T veggie at each meal.

Good luck!

For something quick you can buy the Chunky Soups and Stews, and puree them. I left a little texture to them because i think the pureed texture is just gross, lol. But I had no problem with the pulsed soups. And don't forget eggs; make a quiche.

      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!!
