At first it kinda of felt stuck, but then I made sure I chewed 30 times and that was much better!! I just don't want to purée it! I just puréed some fresh cooked carrots, but tuna? I just can't do it! Haha

I'm looking forward to soft foods in two weeks. I'm on day 1 of puréed and it hasn't been so bad (yet!). Breakfast was puréed cottage cheese, lunch was left over egg drop Soup, snack was a puréed blue cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese dip, and dinner was strained cold Greek yogurt Soup (think thinner version of tzatziki).

Not sure yet what I'm having tomorrow, but I'm glad that I've gotten in 55 grams of Protein so far today, and supplemented with only 1/3 a bottle of Isopure coconut.

Some of the things I plan on incorporating into my puréed diet are refried Beans, tuna salad, crab salad, salmon mousse, chicken and stew.

Just did a tuna salad tonight for the first time. Instead of mayo I used a wedge of Laughing Cow French Onion, plus a dollop of spicy brown mustard to go with the albacore tuna and of course relish (mine was dill relish, because that's just how I like it :) )

Spacedust, you're so lucky! I have a whole week left before I get to soft foods. I did get to make my first Decaf Cappuccino yesterday and that made me feel a bit more normal. Heaven! I can't wait until I get to have cottage cheese and strawberries again!

I have to admit that it is both a blessing and a curse! The variety of flavors and textures makes eating interesting again (although I'm wire satisfied with small amounts! ) but I am having to remind myself that anything more than an ounce to an ounce and a half of denser Protein will make me hurt - I made that mistake of ignoring the danger signals once and boy, I do not want it to happen again! No puking, no slime, but waves of pain for about 30 minutes that I had to walk off.

I'm not sure whether having a sleeve of steel is a good thing or not sometimes :/

      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!!
