I'm 16 days out. I made a mini microwave salmon quiche. I only ate about half of it but my husband, who usually hates salmon, loved it and finished it. It's 1 egg, 1oz lowfat cottage cheese. Warm up the cottage cheese and mix it well with the egg. Then salt, pepper and I stirred in canned salmon but you can put in anything you want. Mix it in a Cereal bowl and then microwave for about a minute and a half. If you want something sweet, just use the egg, cream cheese, a packet of splenda and a little cinnamon. REALLY yummy and super quick.

This is weird but hubby wanted chinese food today. So i went with him and had some food. But being i don't like Chinese food because the meats don't look like real meat from cows or chickens. So i ate veggies altho all were fried. I went to the buffet and got one fried green bean, one fried broccoli fried mushroom fried zucchini, a steamed mushroom, a small spoonful of fried rice ate a nibble of it. Got to my table and ate a bite off of each item i got ewww hated it all. Even had 2 boiled shrimp gross. Hubby was disappointed in me i think cuz i cant eat like he does anymore. He had 2 full plates of everything. Altho i did have 2 coconut macaroons they had they were good.

Had a great evening--went to very lovely restaurant with friends to Celebrate a birthday. The menu was great--but I just didn't want to deal with ordering a big entree and boxing it up so I asked if I could just get two or three scallops. Yes! They do that. They called it an add on and I got a lovely plate of three scallops with a sauce I could use if needed. I ate one and a half and gave the others to my friend. It was great! And I felt like a normal person. Not bad for five weeks post surgery!

more leftover burrito for dinner, but for lunch I had a hot dog. we were at the mall and there is this place that does hot dogs with all kings of toppings. I got a plain hot dog with shredded cheese and didn't eat the bun. not the greatest choice but the best I could do with what I had to choose from.

I got to know a man who owns a Chinese take out and asked him if he could teach me how to make the meat so tender. (Thinking I would learn it wasn't the meat that was advertised). What I learned is they use a method called velveting.

Yesterday I had a salad that had lots of raw cabbage in it, topped with turkey. I made it about 2 steps out my front door and to go running back in. I'm thinking the cabbage was a little too rough for my tummy... And boy did I pay!

      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.
