6 days post op, so I Avoided...somewhat bitterly at that.

I was sleeved on 5/17. I am feeling good so I decided to invite family over for a BBQ. They were all afraid to come because they didn't want to eat in front of me. I wanted to break everyone from that' date=' so I encouraged them to come. I am perfectly fine with people eating and enjoying their food in front of me. It doesn't bother me. They all feel guilty. I don't want to be isolated. I want to be with everyone because in my opinion, it's not about the food, it's about family being together. I made a huge Pasta salad and my hubby BBQ'd burgers and dogs. I'm not gonna lie, it all looked and smelled great, but I was truly ok with it all. My way of dealing with all of this I guess. The family relaxed when it came time to eat and didn't make a huge deal about it. It was a great day. Btw, my son in law is serving in the Army. This was also to pay tribute to him, as well![/quote']

Wow! What a great, positive attitude! I struggled with the smells, but stuck to my Pre-op liquid diet plan. My family ate barbecue and I had a Protein drink (isopure) but no one acted like it was a big deal. I think it was different for me cuz I'm Pre-op. I'm going to do what you did when I'm post-op though - that was amazing :-) thanks for sharing.

Tonight I had a a bison cheeze burger on a home made whole wheat roll some baked organic black and pinto Beans and about a half bottle of a fine Sierra Nevada Big Foot Ale. For dessert I had a Trader Joe's 100 cal chocolate bar. This morning I had a nice 2 mile run and was in the gym for about 90 minutes. Feel absolutely great!!

How? I think we are going to be grilling some steak tonight and have a side salad.

We ended up having grilled ranch chicken breast with roasted red pepper!

We kept ourselves very busy with the kids all weekend and then I opted to have a bbq at our house where I could control the food. Grilled chicken, salad a "health...ier" Pasta salad then most (none for me) and a fresh fruit salad. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed.

7 weeks out and pretty much can eat mostly anything soft. I had a bad day. One I realized I could eat chips I kinda lost it this weekend. I ate chicken tacos for lunch 1 and 2 more for dinner. They were smaller than usual but the fact that I could eat them kinda scared me. Trying 2 get the Water intake in can sometimes bea challenge

I ate two bites of bar-b-que 3 months post op and got so so sick..... One of the few things that's made me sick. I won't be trying that again anytime soon!

I had about 40 people over, and cooked a bunch of food. It was better than expected. I enjoyed the people, without worrying about the food. There were enough people that nobody noticed I had hardly eaten anything, but I did get some compliments on how I was looking good!

Ate like a normal person.. Just a lot less! And a 1/2 glass of chilled Reisling. Lost a pound.. Love when that happens

I made a healthy green bean casserole and paired it with 1/2 a cheeseburger.

I'm preop and am scared that I'll never enjoy a glass of Riesling again. Thanks for showing me that it is possible!
