I had rny bypass on July 23 right now I'm on Protein Shakes but I go to the dr. This Thursday, I'm sure I will get to go to soft foods. I'm feeling hungry and ready but scared too. What are some things that you all tried first?

Eggbeaters, yoghurt, cottage cheese, and shakes. Pretty much what I stuck to fora few weeks at the soft foods stage.

I tried yogurt first and was elated. I then expanded to cottage cheese, and then shredded cheese with refried Beans...

Also with the shredded cheese do you think reg or low fat cheese is better?

NUT gave me an awesome recipe for noodle less lasagna. Part skim ricotta cheese, ragu spaghetti sauce, low fat shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. 18g of Protein in 1/2 cup serving. It's awesome and lots of protein. Remember to purée it. This has been my go to lately.

Pjhoyt... How do you actually make that noodle free lasagna ? I saw your ingredient list but wonder how to put it all together and how to cook it?

Search the recipe section for 'Ricotta Bake'. That's the recipe you're looking for. Variations of it can also be found on the internet. It's delicious and can be adapted to each stage. I'm 14 months out and still eat it but I top it with a meat sauce made w/ground chicken or chicken sausage. Very tasty! :-)

Just plastic tupperware, add all ingredients, microwave for 30-45 seconds and stir. No need to purée as it's already smooth ????

I also do egg salad, 1 boiled egg with 1+ tsp of miracle whip light. I like re fried Beans with salsa puréed. Lots of things we can be creative with. Haven't puréed any cooked veggies yet as most have little to no Protein. Hate Cream of Wheat and cottage cheese.

      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!!
