Welcome.

I tried avocado today. I smashed it up with some onions, Tomato, lemon juice, salt and pepper. I am not supposed to have raw veggies or fruits unless very soft. I thought they were, but my sleeve fought back a little. I could feel it trying to come back up. I paired it with about 1.5 oz of tuna. It was good, but I will make sure I smash it a bit more and eat it sparingly.

Have you guys downloaded the BARITASTIC app? I downloaded it to my cell phone. It is free. They have a couple of convenient timers to use when you can drink before and after, Vitamin reminders, and they have been texting me some motivating messages.

post-255097-14461725537289_thumb.jpg so I put some effort into my dinner tonight this is a concoction I layered the bottom with sour cream and avocado and the meat mixture has white Beans ground beef some canned tomatoes garlic salt pepper some cilantro etc. You can see the tiny ass container that I'm using and I'm still barely able to finish it but tonight I made myself finish it because I know I'm not eating enough it was good but I still got the Burpee feeling in my chest which is annoying I'm still probably going to fast I don't know. I feel OK I don't feel like it's going to come back up but I really need to work on getting more in me because I know I won't lose weight if I'm starving

I had a cup of coffee today. Black no sugar or cream. It was kind of like I am getting back to somewhat normal.

My sleeve has tried soft, steamed broccoli and a little bit of yellow squash/zucchini I cooked in the slow cooker with a pork roast. The sleeve tolerated it. The amounts were very small. I have had some raw veggies and my sleeve is not tolerating them as well.

Sorry it is not agreeing. What did you try?

Work is a daily gauntlet of delectable goodies. I think it's a universal given! So far I've stayed strong! ????

@@retrieverguy I think I tried some carrots too with the zucchini. Yes, I would try and limit them for now.

Have you been going to work or is this your first day back?

i would take a cup cake and have a bite or two if i was closer to goal lol.

im going back to Protein shakes for a little while. it's the easiest thing to count and i don't feel well most of the time so it doesn't bother me not to eat food right now.

dinner sat fine. i had cinnamon tea later on last night and that was nice. i always feel icky in the morning but that's due to my inherent stomach issues that i had before surgery. so i chew my dreaded Vitamins and Calcium. then take a pepcid. then wait for things to settle. today im having a Protein shake for Breakfast and i'll have yogurt later cuz i think it actually helps with digestion.

in other news im wearing someone i haven't worn in a while so i'll use that as my motivation to continue and not be upset that i don't feel well cuz i really don't care that much truth be told. least i'm losing.

i haven't tried veggies. nor do i miss veggies lol. i will start using cauliflower soon to make some of the lowcarb stuff i used to make (fried "rice" and "pizza") but haven't tried it yet.

have a great day everyone. xo

      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!!
