Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

well i've had a bad experience yesterday and today. i think i'm too full..not so much so that anything comes up, but if i sip Water or try to eat i get this extreme burning in my chest and throat. at one point i just starting crying. i didn't end up eating anything i posted yesterday...just two bites of a corn cake...and nothing yet today. SO i called my doc last night and he was nice enough to come in to the office today (they are closed) and i think he had surgery today as well--earlier. i'm going to get this week's fill--unfilled and boy am i happy i have a doc that cares enough to come in so i don't have to suffer until monday.

i'll be happy to post-hopefully-soup later. wish me luck!

Yikes! I've been there, I know the pain ... Glad you're getting it taken care of today!

Mocha Cheesecake Protein Shake (It's what it tastes like)

1/2 - 1 sm. carton plain nonfat greek yogurt (depending on restriction)

2-4 packets splenda depending on amount of yogurt

1 tsp instant espresso powder (i use medaglia d'oro)

puree and enjoy - if I can I really love to put the shake in the freezer for 1-2 hrs before blending. :crying:

Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt: Greek Yogurt - i like the honey version myself.

as far as greek salad - i like field greens w/pepercinis/cucumbers/grape tomatos/feta cheese & a really good greek dressing.....that's sorta how i make it, sometimes i'll throw some chic peas in if they're on hand.

Hi All,

i feel normal again--YAY! thanks for your comments. so i have to say i'm really impressed with my doc..he came in just for me..and was 5 minutes late and saying how sorry he was. i was like "no i'm just glad i didn't have to go to the hospital for an unfill."

he took out my entire fill from this week (we tested it half way and i still couldn't swallow). Plus .3 was taken out from what i had before this week...i'm just happy i can eat again!!! lol.

Tomorrow i'm making black bean cakes..today i did the Soup thing. bring on the real food, hehe.

You missed one of the key things that makes a greek salad greek - OLIVES! Lots of olives. I don't include peppercinis, but I may throw in a sliced hard boiled egg.

Yesterday's menu:

B - apple with Peanut Butter

L - shredded chicken breast with veggies

S - 1 oz cheese

D - 1c Pasta with sauce, grated cheese

S - 2 roasted marshmallows....Tap hangs her head in shame. What a stupid thing to have - I don't even LIKE sweets! But the open fire was nice, the sky was clear...

I don't know if it's me but, it seems when I have the whey protein I eat like a horse. I can't control myself. I am going to try it tomorrow and it effects me like that, I guess I will have to try something else. Either that or I need a fill. I cancelled my appt last month.

Has anyone heard of a store called "Shake the weight"?

I heard about it on another thread. It is sort of like Herbal Life.

I might try that or go back to the pre-op diet for a wk.

      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!!
