The day is finally here! I had like four slices of gyro and two Tomato slices and a teeny bite of pita. Technically I pureed it in my mouth by chewing the hail out of it. I feel good! I ate barely more than my one year old but more than a couple of bites I would say I had about 12 good bites. I'm happy with that.

Congrats to you!

I just ate the exact same meal for Breakfast and this time I put it in a measuring cup I ate half a cup of meat and the bits of pita let me know how much you get in

So I did this too for my first puréed meal just now! I had 1 oz of rice, a little shredded cheese, a tsp of sour cream mixed with salsa verde, and 2 oz of grilled chicken. It took me about and hour and a half to finish that but it was SO good.

I want to try rice but I'm so afraid! All I've been eating so far is meat, mashed potatoes, and carrots. How did the rice go down?

The rice was VERY easy, but Mexican rice tends to be very soft so it was easy to turn to mush in my mouth first.

That's awesome everyone. Very proud of the vomments,in portion watching and eating throughly. Great work!

One thing to consider is the Protein amount you achieve in a day. Everyone's Dr is a little different but your body needs around 50/60 Proteins a day or you can more easily have other complications. Also, protein helps your body not break down muscle and helps prevent Hair loss in many cases.

Of course following your Dr recommended levels of food types is key since everyone is different, put trying to eat protein first and then other things can be really important

I also started pureed food this week. I made chicken salad and put it in the food processor. It's not totally pureed, but it is close. When I eat it I get some pain like I need to belch. I'm wondering if I am eating it too fast. I am paranoid about leaks, but I am not having any other issues.

      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!!
