Thanks I will.

FF retried Beans were on my liquids list I could start the week after surgery....I thinned them a bit with chicken stock while I was on liquids but once I went to mushies I started going thicker with them. I now eat them at the consistency they come out of the can at with no problems... (Other than gas! Yay beans!!!) I can only do an ounce at a time so maybe that's a difference but like I said, it's one of the first foods my nutritionist approves post-op! Good luck!!!

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what to have for dinner these days. chicken used to sit very well, but not any more and even if its very moist or in something liquidy like Soup. Matter of fact, no meat is settling well in my tummy. Feels soo heavy and sharp. Was previously able to eat salmon, not anymore, now I think shrimp is it. :(

We all need someone to say why are you eating that. It took me an hour and 1/2 to eat it. I most likely won't again. It was a head hunger and I know it. A relapse in judgement to see if I could. And yep it didn't sit very well with me. It's kinda like when folks eat the FF refried Beans or Alfredo noodles or mash potatoes. Really they shouldn't be' date=' but some how they make it sound like its good for you. And it's not. I do make minor slips and it's over. It's like buying a pint of chocolate ice cream. Before surgery I could eat that whole pint in 30 mins. Now I can't tolerate 4 teaspoons of it. And it does not set well in my stomach. So I will not eat it anymore. I can't eat yogurt either not any kind of it. Texture is a big thing to me now. So no I don't mine if you ask what was I thinking because I asked myself that same question[/quote']

This may help I hope. My nut told me to take 1/2 hour to eat - no more & no less. Maybe this is something you could adopt & prevent that bad full tummy feeling? Also, I read on Hungry Girl about adding a tiny amount of low fat graham cracker crumbled into key lime yogurt so it will have some crunch like a pie. Just tried it with vanilla (1/4 of a "sheet") & it did help with texture. Maybe also try mixing it with fruit or something else to help with texture or are you just done, done, done with Yogurt? I got that way about cottage cheese which I used to love so I get it if that's the case.

I used to like yogurt but they dont have the 99% fat free anymore they have light or original. I tried different brands and just cant stand it. I try not to Eat much fruit because of no real nutrition value to it and to high in carbs. I may not do some things well but i do try to stay in the boundaries of the limits that are set for us. I do push it a bit but then i know after the pain not ever again

I have run across some very high Protein low sugar yogurt. It called SIGGI'S. I found it at Wegmans. It Icelandic style yogurt and it is pricey but it has 14 grms protein and only 9 sugar. Very thick and creamy 8 flavors.

I tried Hungry Girl's version of chicken Cordon Bleu. OMG it was so good. Just 3 ingredients - chicken breast, ham & a wedge of laughing cow. Couldn't finish it but it was delicious.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
