Really Gross!!



Recommended Posts

I was sooo excited to be on the mushy stage!!

I went to the super market and found these Bumble Bee ready to eat packs of Seafood and chicken salad with crackers. There is only 90 calories in the seafood salad (plus 90 for the crackers) and 140 in the Chicken Salad (plus 90 for the crackers)

I decided I would have one of those for lunch today -

GROSS, ick. I hate pickle relish! I threw it away.

tuna somtimes is too dry or something. It'll get stuck if I don't put lots of mayo in it. I miss eating sardines! I know yuck but my Dad got me to eating those things and I like them. But everytime I try to eat them since my surgery they get stuck so I end up wasting the whole little can.:cross-eye

You could put it in the blender or in one of those little food choppers. You could do that with just about anything for that matter.

I'm trying to remember......Mayo, onions, pickle relish, or anything else I wanted as long as it was chopped real fine. I think I even ate a little bit of crackers (maybe one) on the side with the tuna. I remember buying lots of creme Soups on that stage. Also instant mashed potatoes.

my mom made me scrambled eggs this morning...they were soooo good. That is ok right, I thought that was an acceptable Mushie...i took small bites and never thought an egg could be so delectible...I printed out that list of ethnic mushies from another thread and am looking foward to some mac and cheese!! Thanks for your help your a sweetie pie!!

Katie - my doc allows tuna, well lubed with lo-fat or no-fat mayo, in the mushy phase. He also allowed cream Soups in the 'full liquid' stage. The rule of thumb he uses is - if you could eat it if you have no teeth, then it's a mushy! Crackers are allowed, too. Just not the hard to chew ones.

I love scrambled eggs, too. Never thought I would ever look so forward to cottage cheese and apple sauce as I did when I was on the liquid stage!

Shelly - I'm making my own chicken salad now with canned chicken, taragon and little tiny pieces of blue cheese and low- fat mayo. Really yummy. I could definitely eat it if I had no teeth!

Lisa - don't know about the sardines ..... guess I'm lucky I never developed a taste for them! ;) Not too fond of the instant mashed potatoes!

I'm definitely a no-fat refried been girl - with low fat sour cream and mild salsa!

ROFL!!! i guess thats a good way to describe the mushy phase!!! could you eat it if you had no teeth!!! i literally laughed out loud at that!!!

when i eat my salads it is with NOTHING!!! well sometimes i'll put it in 1/2 a low carb wrap!

You know I miss eating a salad. I just can't do the lettuce unless it is chopped really fine like for taco's in strips. I have PB'd too many times on lettuce to try eating it again. I do miss a good salad though. BUMMER!!

I eat salad all the time as long as it's smothered in Ranch Dressing. :) It kinda kills the nutritional value but tis good to the tummy and band!;)

      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!!
