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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
