Smoked turkey from sonny's BBQ. We are on vacation. So alot of eating out. It's been tough and tempting. On our way home now. Been throwing up since the turkey. Pure misery. Especially in a car. Ugh.

Especially for all you softies, which I am, I got a recipe from a blogger, theworldaccordingtoeggface. This is a Ricotta Bake, it looks amazing. I'm about to cook it!

There's the recipe:

8 oz ricotta

1/2 c grated parmesan

1 egg beaten

1 t Italian seasoning

Salt & pepper to taste

1/2 c marinara sauce

1/2 c shredded mozzarella

Mix ricotta, parmesan, egg, & seasonings. Poor in oven-safe dish. Pour marinara on top, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese. Bake @ 450 for 20-25 mins.

No' date=' just not ready for solids yet I guess. Canned chicken is fine. Soft stuff has been fine.[/quote']

I'm the same way. I'm 5 weeks out and I can't tolerate most food. Just refried bean scrambled eggs and tuna.< /p>

Baked tilapia a tablespoon of sweet potato and if i have room' date=' a few asparagus tips.[/quote']

Well, that wasn't fun. Ate 2 ounces tilapia (which I baked with garlic, one bite of sweet potatoes and no asparagus and got so sick. I think it was the garlic. Had terrible gas-tried two gasx then took a papaya enzyme and then I threw it all up. I don't think garlic and my pouch are good together. And boy did I have horrible hiccups. Better now. Anyone else have trouble with garlic?

Ok. This is what I've been craving. I'm still in the full liquid stage but ricotta and melted cheese is on my list. I'm worried about marinara because of the sugars. Any recommendations?

I had 2-2.5 ounces of Filet Mignon. About 1/4 hass avocado. The Filet Mignon was delicious. I thought I was going to be able to eat a little more of it but I began to feel full so I stopped. I still feel full & a bit bloated after about 15 minutes even though the meat was really tender... and I even dipped it in reduced sugar keychup.

I'm going to have some warm tea soon to see if that helps. I sure enjoyed it though :)

I've had those melba toasts garlic flavor with lowfat cream cheese and it was always a little heavy. I do think it was the garlic that did it.

Make your own. Then you can control what goes in it. I put no sugar, but lots of fresh basil in mine. It's yummy.

      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!!
