My NUT says to have a variety and to include a bite of starch and then veggies. I am able to eat about 4 oz now. The more I eat' date=' the faster I lose it seems. I am looking at getting some Protein Bars to supplement. There are so many out there. Anyone tried the Quest bars?[/quote']

I love the quest bars. Great variety.

Is it weird that nothing has affected me yet? I've had alot of foods that bother other people including chicken and haven't gotten anything stuck or tossed a cookie yet. Also I've only felt full a few times. I'm not complaining in anyway but is this happening to anyone else? I'm a little over three weeks out and on soft foods.

I'm 3 weeks out and it's the same with me. I can eat anything and not get sick, and I don't feel full. I measure so I don't overeat and follow all the rules.

I am four weeks out. I haven't thrown up, either, except for the liquid Tylenol I tried to take last week. I haven't exactly had anything 'stuck' but I did have an unpleasant experience last week. I took a bigger bite of chicken salad than I should've and swallowed it to quickly. That felt like having a rock in my stomach. It hurt and made me a little nauseous. I gave up on the chicken salad, waited an hour or so, and had some nice, safe yogurt. I also don't feel 'full' in the same way I used to. I do start feeling 'satisfied', like I don't want to eat another bite. If I go a little too far, it hurts a little just below my boobs. My nutritionist said that you need to learn to recognize the signs that you should stop eating - go slow and pay attention to your body.

This is almost exactly how I feel. And the liquid Tylenol was the closest I've come to throwing up. I had chicken salad tonight for dinner and it was fine. And my worst experience was taking a huge gulp of Water after being outside in the sun. Ugh. Never do that again. Lol

I made a "Reuben roll up"-- basically I piled a slice of turkey lunch meat with a sprinkle of cheese, a tiny bit of sauerkraut, and some thousand island dressing. I rolled it up and sautéed it on each side to melt the cheese. Delicious! I'm just a bit nervous because I'm not sure if I'm allowed sauerkraut or not. Went down just fine. Lol I couldn't find any info at all in my stuff regarding it, so I just went for it. Haha

Rosemary pork tenderloin, spinach, and two bites of garlic mashed potatoes. Made the potatoes without butter...used chicken broth to add more flavor. My family didn't even know.

This sounds so yummy!! But alas, I'm single and its not worth it to make it for one. I'm also not a huge fan of leftovers.

      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!!
