I can't go Another Week with liquid and Protein shakes. I can't even Stand to Look at the container of Protein. All I want is a simple chicken stir fry with fresh veggies.... Sighhhhhh one more week to purée stage.

Pinterest has several recipes for pizza using Cauliflower for the crust. I have been craving pizza and chinese food but surfing Pinterest for recipes I will be able to have during my next few phases has helped. I don't hang out with my family during mealtime but sitting with everyone at Easter dinner eating my cottage cheese didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I can have tuna as of Thursday, I'm very excited. My surgeon doesn't go by liquids / puree / etc. I have very specific lists of food for each week up to week 7 so I spend my time in anticipation of my next set of menu options! It's not the lack of eating that's bothering me, I don't get hungry. It's the lack of flavor. I can't wait until I can have hot sauce!!!

There's a great recipe using cheese as a crust. Also you can use a wrap as a crust.

Marina my daughter bought me potatoe Soup the light of course a d ground pinto Beans and added that with a little Water . Was rely good just really chew the potatoes touch it was Campbell's soup. PA told me to stay away from food like mashed potatoes or similar like pudding due to it not having any nutritional value . That's why we added the beans for Protein. I will mash up some tofu in a blender and add that also , daughter says it will melt like sour cream and high in protein. It beats. just fluids and I really enjoyed it.

My Doctor had me on soft foods the day I left the hospital. I'm really scared to eat though, I drink Slim Fast 20gr Protein and 2 or 3 grams of sugar. Creamy chocolate. Very /good

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
