Sometimes I actually want to cry when I get full after 4 - 5 bites. I don't even get to get warmed up b4 I burn out.

ME TOO!!! It's frustrating! I actually was talking to a fellow sleever today (she's 2 years post op) about it...ahe said it does get better

Soo, coffee doesn't count towards our liquids 0_o. Crap ;). I have been known to eat the bag of potato chips that comes with a Soup ordered from Panera, and occasionally an order of small fries, veggie and cheese pizza and a few spoons of frozen yogurt have found their way past my lips as well. Smh!

We can never, for the rest of our lives use a straw? That's crazy and sad.

I use straws with no problem.

I was maybe 4 weeks post op and still on liquids/very soft foods. I was so freakin hungry. I stopped at a White Castle and bought one cheese burger. I chewed it and spit it out just to have the taste in my mouth. I figured the burgers are technically soft so why not?

I'm 18 months out and 3 lbs from my next goal and I still don't get in all of my fluids or Protein. I try but I fail a lot, but I live to try again!

Adding here. Last night i had caffeinated coffee and it was delicious so i followed it with some pizza (granted only a few bites) and finished dinner off with one Peanut Butter cracker. But i want more i want more. 1/3 of a slice of a large pizza and one cracker did not fill my head hunger at all.

And cheesecake sounds delicious, might go buy a tub of the filling then i don't need to worry about the crust

And why would one puree tootsie rolls? Ahh they melt in my mouth.

Okay..my confession for the week. I made my husband chicken bacon tortellini with a Tomato ricotta sauce topped with cheese and i took a few bites of it and chewed it up and spat it out..I wanted to taste it.. I love to cook but it sucks that i cant taste everything i cook anymore... I feel so guilty for wasting food by chewing and spitting..never again.

At 1 week post op i started indulging in Sorbet. I would eat 1/2 cup a couple times a day because it seemed to hard to get anything else down.

Right after I had my baby 3 months ago I would wake up and eat "lactation cookies" probably 6 in the course of the night bc I was waking up every 2 hours to feed her. I tried to downplay it to myself cuz they were "lactation" but really it was still butter sugar and flour with some lactation supplement in there lol. Also I lived off Quaker chewy granola bars at one point I was eating about 6 a day too.

I can't even begin to bring out my skeletons from when I was pregnant lol. That is a whole diff story.

I swear we are related! chips n salsa, and even worse...chips n queso are my BIGGEST downfall!!! They go down SO EASY! It sucks, but they are my trigger foods!

The other day I chopped up Tomato, onion, cilantro, Serrano peppers, avocado and sprinkled it with sea salt and lime...then I mixed it with some Julio's mild salsa dip...and ate it with those Tostitos lime chips...it was HEAVEN! I don't really feel guilty about the dip, but it made those chips slide down real good :/

If I may enquire? Why did you chew it up and spit it out? Were you very soon out of your surgery? I know that it is laden with all sorts of badness, but if you only had a little bit, would that be the end of the world? Personally, if I had a lump of gorgeousness like that in my mouth, I would not be spitting it out! :) x

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
