My favorite soft foods meal was meatballs with homemade sauce. I seasoned the meatball the way I always do: salt, pepper, lots of fresh garlic, parsley, egg, parmesan cheese, a little bit of bread crumbs. I also let my sauce simmer for a long time in order to get the most flavor. I would measure the meatballs to be exactly 1 oz. I would also just make sure that I could mash the meatballs with a fork and douse it with sauce. It was the best thing for me at that time! It was packed with Protein and easy on my stomach. Also, some people make a ricotta bake. Which is ricotta cheese with sauce and baked in the oven for a few minutes.

Is the "pre op" a mistake? Did u mean post op? I dreamed about my first soft food for 4 wks (I live with the food nazi and I knew he'd tattle on me to my dr if I cheated even 1 day early). Went grocery shopping and had everything I needed for the big event. I microwaved 1/4 cup refried Beans topped with a pinch of shredded sharp cheddar, taco sauce with a little dollup of sour cream. Best thing Id ever eaten.

The following 4 wks I ate alot of eggs, mashed pots, canned tuna and chicken, tilapia, Beans, and cheese. After that 4 wks of aoft foods I enjoyed my 1st salad. Wow. Was it yummy...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
