@@sleeveisa glad you are doing a little better. I am having issues getting all my Protein as well but giving up isn't an option just one day at a time and focus on your healing.

@@dmw0621 I hate the soft mushy diet My mama says I hate everything that is good for me I just want a salad.

@@QueenBx girl I want Chipotles. But I have to admit that I'm liking mushy. I'm in Texas and there must be like 4 bbq spots not far from me and I like to get the smoked chicken thigh (no sauce), it's tender and gets mushy easily, plus the flavor is amazing. But I can only eat about half before I get full.

Are you expermenting with your food? I was bored at first b/c all I ate was yogurt, cottage cheese, Soup and canned tuna. I just odered me a pressure cooker, I'm going to try to make my own healthy version of soft mushy Protein and veggies.

Are you getting your Water? I'm still having trouble! Any ideas please share.

@@QueenBx, I'm hanging in there. I've been off course for about two weeks. I need to get back on track starting tomorrow. My last nut appointment is on Jan 5th. I have decided to change surgeons and surgerys. I'm going to Emory @ John's Creek with doctor Hart and getting gastric bypass.

Hi

I am using Dr Hart at emory also. But I don't have a surgery date yet. How do you like Dr Hart and his staff?

Omg! I haven't been experimenting just yet. I am getting Water in finally! I have a 20 oz. cup that I keep all day and I always keep it filled. By the end of the day I have drunk over 60 oz of Water. I also do crystal light so that I'm not drinking plain all day, so after I drink 20 oz of plain water, I fill my cup up with 20 oz of crystal light.

How did you make your tuna? I want to try it but scared that it will not taste right. All I eat now is yogurt and mashed potatoes.

For my tuna I use 1 small can of tuna, mayo, mustard, sweet relish (about 1.5 tsp), a boiled egg, salt and pepper and a little slap your mama. Today I plan on trying deviled eggs.

Wow 60 oz!!!! Thats a lot, are you drinking or sipping? Maybe my problem is I'm still sipping. I keep Water with me everywhete I go but I'm never able to finish it all and I'm so tired of crystal light. But you doing 60 oz means it can be done. I'll just have try harder.

@@Blessed618 welcome to the losers bench! Hope you have a safe and speedy recovery!

@@dmw0621 I like all that in my tuna to lol plus some sugar but my nut says no lol only mustard and low fat mayo (how boring). So how were the deviled eggs? Try to set a 15 min reminder to sip Water all day and I had friends and family sending me text messages to remind me to drink. After a couple of days of that it helped me become more mindful to drink.

@@sablebby, I think his office is great. I don't have my surgery date yet either. I have my last nutritional visit on Jan. 5th, so, hopefully, they'll submit to my insurance. Which procedure are you getting?

Yes, I felt the same way. How do you feel about his recommendation? I'm still nervous about getting the bypass, too. :-/

@@QueenBx what has your nutrition approved you to eat? I'm just curious because I never received a list of does and don't. I was told to eat soft meat and veggies and chew until mushy.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
