Peek. Glad you to tolerated your food well. I think I'm gonna start mushies Sat so I am making my grocery list.Does anyone have ideas of what I should pick up?

I plan on getting my items tomorrow. I know eggs& tuna, but looking for more suggestion.I love trader Joe's, so going by there after dr appt Friday.

Peek,I know you don't like mayo but do you have an aversion to ranch dressing? Someone recommended adding that To canned chicken or tuna-just a thought.

Here is my list of mush foods from my surgeon.

How about this. Lets create a FB group, make it private and a few of us "techies" can test it out before the end of the month to make sure nothing is seen by anyone ! and I'm like Kathie, I love Bariatric Pal. I have two tabs open on my browser, FB and BP. Great to have so many people to talk to about this !

LOL Peek, yup, it is !!! Welcome to the group Peek's Ticker

Lazy Lizzy Congrats on starting the pre op liquid.. I know, don't roll your eyes and think .. "shut up lady, I want some solid foods"... because let me tell ya, we want them too ! LOL Hang in there !!! You can vent to us anytime !

Susan, LOVE your new little gadgets !!!! Soon we will be like Peek and Kathy and on to the mushies. So jealous !! Enjoy it ladies !

HUGS !

@@shmeyers, big thank you! That gave me a quitefew suggestions.

I am also 2 weeks just started "foods". Refried beans, low fat cheese, scrambled eggs, plain yogurt, refried beans, modified tuna/chicken salad. It's interesting what different facilities suggest. I am like several of you, surprised how full you get and how quickly. Them trying to get 3liters of water on top of that! It's a challenge, but all well worth it!

@@annisa I'm a little nervous cause I start mushies one week after surgery. I'm grateful it's early but nervous about how my baby belly will tolerate it.

Kathy812 that's exactly how I feel. Am I going to overeat, mess this up, hurt the sleeve not know when to stop.

Just taking my time, paying attention to my body, not being distracted while I eat. One of the hardest things I have found, is not fringe able to drink whe I eat! I suppose I'll get over that!

Good luck!

So is it safe to say we are all worried that something is going to happen and we will not be successful?

I've been overweight my whole life. I've been looking at boards and people's stats, and I just feel there's no way that I'll ever get thin. I have that 'It won't happen to me, something is going to happen" feeling. Weird !

Hate this feeling tonight !

Congrats!!!! How did your new sleeve handle the jello and broth?

It's going okay, but the gas pressure is right at my diaphragm so it is a little painful to swallow. I'm thinking it should be much better tomorrow!! The broth is actually pretty soothing.

@@chellede

We will do this! Look at how close our stats are, surgery date, weight lost. We will do this together! Look at all the amazing people on here who are succeeding.

Hey Chellede!! Im on the opposite side of town, but that wouldn't stop us from being Surgery Pals!!!

Hey girls I am in Houston as well (clear lake area). I had my surgery on Oct 13th!

My day is finally here! Checking in for surgery at 5:15am. Talk to you all later

Jen, good luck. I know you will be fine.

Everyone, I am definitely happy to be on the mushy diet but my doctor doesn't even want me eating potatoes or cream of wheat or any grains. He said to only eat the high protein for my three little meals. I would love a little baked sweet potato, lol. I will have some at the holidays!

Hi Jen,

All the best on your surgery day ????
