I know starch is bad I was talking about the fat content and such and I also know that there are other butter alternatives and I know everything that I'm eating now doesn't have Protein

You're not eating Protein? Then what the hell are you eating? You're supposed to eat low carb low sugar high protein. Fat should be one of the last things you look at, it's important, but not as important as making sure the protein is high and the carbs/sugar are low to none. Idk what diet your surgeon put you on but if you're worried about fat and not protein then as of now you're ass backwards

well being only 2 weeks out I'm drinking my protein....most of my intake is sf stuff like Jello, pudding, applesauce, etc....The only thinks I've eaten so far with Protein is Wendy's chilli and tuna but those were only for a few days....and I'm pretty sure I'm A Ok and the diet my surgeon gave me is perfectly fine....my concern isn't fats if that was the case I wouldn't have gotten the procedure...you dont know what I'm eating to assume anything....please keep your negative ASS comments to yourself...I didn't ask you for that and if you want to be bitchy then be bitchy on someone else's post....thanks have a great day!!

I'm gonna miss popcorn' date=' too. I just got my braces off last August, so I pretty much went 2.5 years without eating popcorn. Had a brief reprieve when I got them off, and now... No more.

I wonder if you could try thin pretzel crisps, if you get a craving for something crunchy. I'm talking just a couple, not the whole bag. LOL[/quote']

yea I love pretzels too lol! I have a long ways to go before I can even think about eating popcorn or pretzels I just wanted to know if it was still option and if not what were some other options...thanks hun!

My doc says normal foods after 2 months....avoid sweets and fats but nothing is forbidden if eaten in appropriate quantities and chewed well.

I was just about to say something about that horribly negative post, but you beat me to it! Totally not necessary...

All your talk about Wendy's chili is making me want to go out and try it (and I hate chili!) Am going to try tuna today. But I must bow to you, Lisa, for actually attempting to purée your food. I just cannot do it. I'm just trying to chew everything well, and having a hard time with that, too. I sometimes wish we didn't need food to survive. I'm happy drinking my Water and Crystal Lite every day. :-)

lol yea that kind of touched a nerve BUT please please try the puréed chili it's really really good the tuna too and the trick is to the tuna is to not over purée it bc it's already soft and it'll feel like your eating mush but I'm so ready for this stage to be over....isn't Crystal Lite a savior though?! lol I tend to drink it to fast and have to remind myself to sip and not gulp

I was never told no popcorn and have eaten it many times since with no problem. Check with your doc.

I'm with you, I was never told no either, and I've eaten it here and there, a little bit!

Hey, I occasionally eat popcorn that I make myself with canola oil and kernels, a little salt. Satisfy's my urge, never movie popcorn again! Also, Newmans own makes Protein pretzels, not the best but not the worst. I lots of protein each day. To me is better than eating cakes and Cookies, french fries etc. Yes I know people that are eating those they get sick daily!

      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!!
