Omg worm I fixed spaghetti last night for my family and it smelled so good so I took only the sauce which was ground beef, spaghetti sauce, grilled onions and mushrooms and ground them up really good in my food processor and added fat free cottage cheese and fat free mozzarella it was amazing

Well, I know I gage by what I can eat on its own. So if all the ingredients are OK and they are OK on your plan, then why not. I know I have pushed it with soft foods. My surgeon opened the door when she said she kinda mixes the soft and pureed stage.

Thanks for everyone's responses. I finished up some minor Christmas shopping yesterday and decided to treat my kids to Wendy's (we have not had fast food nearly as much as before). So naturally I went for the chili. Now, this was the first time I have ever eaten their chili and it wasn't bad, but its not mine LOL I truly at 2 bites and was stuffed for 10m until it went down. Then 2 bites and stuffed again. I'm not trying to push it, just really want a sandwich! I want to bite down into a grilled chicken, lettuce, Tomato, whole wheat bun, sandwich! LOL Sidenote, I picked up some Luna Protein Bars today and am licking my fingers from the mint chocolate one that just graced my lips, Dear God it was everything I have craved for the last 5 weeks! LOL and 12gms of protein!!! win/win! still loving the scale, cannot wait to see what it reads tomorrow for the Friday weigh in! LOL I'm in a really good mood. Blame it on the chocolate, blame it on the impending snow storm blowing its way into town tonight, or just call it Christmas spirit, but I feel good!!!!!! Perhaps its because I am breaking down and cheating tonight....I had full intentions of donating my hair to Locks of Love, but after 3 months of blah, lifeless, raggity hair, I just cannot do it anymore! So tonight I am getting a new do! I think it will also help me to get out of my funk. I just havent felt pretty because of it. so hopefully tomorrow I will have a new lease on life! LOL

Everyday I think I have stretched my pouch or that this is all the weight I'm going to lose. I believe these are the head games we play with our minds. I had to have meat so I had meatloaf the other day. I just took a really small piece and took my time. I only eat off small plates now and I use my daughters tiny bowls. It helps. Tomorrow we have my bfs Xmas party. Huge buffet. Already dreading it. Just need to think small. It sounds like we are all doing awesome.

      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.

      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!!
