my surgeon gave me some Unjury chicken Soup samples. I added it to my chicken soup and it wasn't that bad. I think I will order some

Hmmmm I don't know if I can handle that graininess in my Soup. I tried o add Protein Powder to my soup once and it was gross. And it was suppost to be flavorless. FYI, it's not. Hahah

me too but this isn't grainy at all. It blended just perfect. the trick is not to put it in steaming hot food. so my Soup wasn't hot hot. it really is good.

Head over to Nashua Nutrition's website if you want to try different brands without buying a tub. They sell samples for $1.95 each for lots of brands. Working my way thru the ones I ordered. No clear winner yet...lol. I have found Chike Protein powder & that is my fav so far. Unjury did not agree with me but will try again to be sure. What works one day may not work the next.

Did you do anything different or eat a particular way the last few wks? Im 5wks out...

I started drinking a Protein shake in the morning that is 30g each so I think it's because I am getting in all my Protein cause it's easier to get 30g out of food then it is 60g. Sometimes I will have another shake for dinner if I am not up to cooking. That's all that I really did different I think. How are you doing?

I had a bad experience ... I went through a lot... I had an obstruction, had to get another surgery 4 days apart, then I got pneumonia, then had to have Fluid drained from my lung... I was in hospital 3wks... I've been out 2 wks... really sucked but im doing better... im even still swollen or at least my tummy feels bloated & still real sore... I've lost 21lbs so far... Dr Apr tomorrow .... I know im not getting in enough Protein ... when i tried to drink a shake I threw it up... do you drink pre made shakes or do you make your own?

wow that is crazy. I am so glad you are doing beter. I would of been so scared. What a trooper you are. I hope nothing else bad happens to you. You have dealt with enough :)

I have been drinking the pre-made shakes. I think not having to mix them helps with the mental part of the shakes cause I just hate them. Especially with Water. I am going to try this coffee kind called Click that I heard is good and also nectar brand. I am gonig to email them and see if I can get a sample pack.

      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!!
