Yesterday travel and attended two pre wedding functions. I fell way below my Protein and Water levels but survived lots of temptations. I had a tiny bit of crab cake at one restaurant with some lobster bits and sauce. Yummy and tolerated but only a little. Then a little chicken francese, about 2 bites.

Tonight I've heard my choices for main meal. Chilean sea bass; filet mignon, some chicken dish, two Pasta choices.

Oh, I'm 31 days out. Phase 3, alot I rarely blend, do more with my teeth. I want to try and eat more fish but not a fan. Alot I'd be starving if not for my tuna fish.

This will be an elegant wedding and the venue has excellent food. But will I like the bass? Or should I try the steak? I bet I couldn't get much down. Or just stick with chicken that I know my tummy tolerates.

I'm assuming I will avoid all food and alcohol at the cocktail hour. Maybe a meatball if they have them

How should I approach this. I'm sort of freaking out because I didn't have enough good choices yesterday and fell below.

Hmmmmm. I say try the bass or chicken. Chicken can be hard early out if it's too dry, so I wouldn't want you to have some sort of "episode" in public if it gets stuck or something. Same with the steak (unless you cut it into tiny, tiny pieces). I think the bass would be easier to eat and go down better. Let us know what you end up doing!

Just attended my grandsons wedding in South Florida. I can arrest to the Chilean Sea Bass being a delicious melt in your mouth delight. I don't think you could handle steak at this point. Relax, enjoy yourself, and eat slowly!

I do like fish it's it's covered in yummy sauces. Lol.

Last night the table ordered garlic lobster sauce bread, OMG it "looked" delicious. I had a 1/4 of a crab cake and did take some of the lobster sauce which had bits of lobster to moisten my crab cake and mashed it all up. I expected my tummy to reject but I took about a half hour to eat that little bit and was fine.

Have a Protein shake before the wedding so you can reach your goal and it will help if you end up not being able too eat much. Steak is very hard to digest and isn't allowed on my plan until after 3 months. Like you, I don't eat a lot of fish, but that is the best choice for 31 days out.

I am going to a wedding tonight also but was told they have various food stations for dinner. Hopefully I will find something good for me.

I would go with fish you will be eating so little of it worth a try and it will likely be softer.

Sea bass is a meatier fish, I am not a big fish person but it is a milder more acceptable one for me. If you are worried about digesting or end up with a different meat you could have some papaya enzyme chewables My nut recommended if problem esp with meat. I have only used once it is a digestive aid, it helped.

If it's the Stewart Manor Country Club go with the fish.

Garden City Hotel I'd do the chicken or the fish.

Trying to remember who is specifically in Garden City and not considered Mineola or Franklin Square - I've eaten in them all lol

      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!!
