I am 3 weeks post op. I gave been blessed that pretty much at every stage I have no issues with anything. Tonight I had 1 meatball and I was so full. It is a little depressing. I know I can only eat a little and I am

Okay with that. Will I

Be able to eat a little more soon? If so when? Thank you!!!

At 3 weeks out, I was still puréed foods. Now at around 15 weeks, I can have about 3-4 small meatballs with a lil sauce ...no pasta...and I'm stuffed!!!! Funny thing is...I still think about food I can't have. I even buy it sometimes, take 1-2 bites and end up giving it away. Not sure why I do that...but my boyfriend ....who is thin as a rail...doesn't mind cuz he's the beneficiary of my leftovers!!!! Lol

I made mini turkey meatballs the other night. Six meatballs = 1/4 pound. I can only eat THREE of these before I get the hiccups.

I got the recipe here:

I'd recommend using non extra lean ground meat. I used extra lean ground turkey and they are pretty dry. Good, but dry.

Maybe I should skip the taquitos and substitute manicotti?

No that's what you use to drink the soda with.

It cuts down on the gas bubbles as it passes along the ridges, so you won't blow open your tummy.

Can't you have both?

Not me. My insurance only offered the wine, straw and Oreo package. I can't do Pasta, rice or chicken. I may get plastics for that later.

Well poop on a biscuit! I've been using a good old fashioned straw. I have noticed the triple scoop of ice cream adds Protein and helps cut the carbonation in my soda.

Oh yes the protein float!

Just make sure it's full sugar because that soda with fake sugars will kill you!

Oh and poop on a biscuit is for the purée stage only...

Ahhhh... Protein shakes at their finest.

My favorite is the cow chip brand.

That's not Mexican.

I sometimes buy the Tijuana zebra brand.

I stick with Red Lobster cheese biscuits. They are owned by Olive Garden so that makes them Italian, right?

oK. You made me laugh out loud. I have a pic of my grandma from the 50s with one of those. Lynda

yes!

And what kind of a sleever would you be if you didn't eat the cheesy biscuits!

But the beauty of the sleeve is that you can only eat 3 or 4 of those Protein bombs and not the whole basket anymore. moderation! Now that is healthy!!!
