The albacore tuna puréed w miracle whip and mustard is good. I even was able to purée a hard boiled egg into it and tasted fine. Spread it over whole grain saltines like a patte.

I just walked a mile. In the rain. Which was perfect because you couldn't see the tears on my face. Not tears because it hurt or was hard or I was tired. Tears because I realized THIS TIME, if I do the work, IT WILL WORK. I'm not some freakish person who can't lose weight NOW. :)

Thanks for posting! Good ideas. I just have been in a rut eating Greek yogurt and applesauce mostly.

Trying to pull myself out of this first month funk and get my game face on. Just made Protein Jello and protein sweet tea. (Decaf, sweetened with Splenda)

I just had the Danon lite n fit Greek yogurt (vanilla) lunch. I love the fact it has 12g of Protein. I'm in a food rut as well. Glad I pulled out the page.

For dinner tonight I'm having a turkey meatball with a touch of marinara and Parmesan. You could purée that. Use cottage cheese instead of parm to up the Protein.< /p>

Made a mistake :( Now I am suffering. Why did I do that? I ate 1 tsp of low fat, vanilla ice cream...ooh the sugar did me in I guess. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid me. We finished a late lunch and My son was next to me with a small bowl of low fat ice cream and I thought one tsp won't hurt, so I took a tsp and put it with a little unflavored Protein Powder to make it "healthier" so I thought. Nope. I guess I don't have to worry about Milk of Magnesia now. Just wish I didn't have the cramps too. Yuck. Be warned. :(

How long after surgery did you have a BM?

It took me 6 days post op for my first Bm. When it came couldn't turn it off for a while.

How long after surgery did you have a BM?

5 days for me and it was barely a poop. Now it's about every 3 or 4 days. I'm still not regular, but our food I take is so small there is not much to expel.

I had no trouble getting in and out of bed. I sleep with a small pillow pressed on my tummy. I find if I sit straight up for too long, it is a bit painful.

      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!!
