Don't do it! Think of all you have done to get to this point. Plus I heard of a lady who ate a piece of steak too soon and ended up in icu for 4 weeks!! You can do this we are all struggling!

For the pizza craving I found a recipe for the ricotta bake. But I'm taking things day by day, minute by minute. I'm journaling. I'm a wife and mom but I'm putting my foot down. There are some things that have changed for the better. I've got to follow dr orders and stay on track. It's like when I quit smoking in some respects. It's mindful eating now. I'm struggling with chub rub. It's painful but thank God for my old Spanx I saved that now fits again!!!!!

I have a fantastic cauliflower "pizza" recipe. My kids can't even tell there's no dough in there. If or when you move on to mushy veggies this would be perfect. It's 150 calories for 2 slices!! Basically it's just cauliflower, an egg, some parmesan and low fat cheese. You can put fresh tomatoes and basil in place of the sauce.

Just realized that I'm still pre-op and idk if cauliflower is allowed post op. If it isn't I'm sorry. Just hang in there.

You're only 2 wks post operation and you're doing soft food already?

My doctor had me on full liquid for 3 weeks, puree 3 weeks, then soft food 3 weeks, and finally regular food.

Surgery date 12/28 and barely on puree... I miss real food and craving from time to time... lucky you

Yes doctors are different because my doctor does first 2 days clear then full liquids then at exactly 2 weeks which is your first post op visit he advances you to purée then a week after that soft and a week after that solids! Sleeved 1/11/17 can't wait for at least soft foods but today I'm down 22.6 pounds!

Sleeved 1/12. For me it's 2 days Clear Liquids, 7 days full liquids, 3 wks purée, 4 wks soft foods. It seems like each dr has some variation of that. Cauliflower pizza sounds good for the soft food phase! And looking forward to trying ricotta bake at purée. Thanks to all for the support and wisdom!!

I'm a grazer too! I actually set my phone to snack at specific times. I prepare my Snacks for the day and take a long time enjoying them :) Before setting my phone alarm I could easily snack too much.

11 days out and still liquid phase. I hate it because I just want to CHEW. Not hunger though. Even went to mcdonalds to buy hubby food and have ZERO craving. And just kept reminding myself how gross this stuff is. Can't wait to move to next phase. I won't lie. Two weeks of liquids is the hardest part so far. Harder that pre op. But I keep hearing it will get better so I will be patient. Keep my mind off of it.

The liquid stage was the absolute worst. Bordered on torture for me, lol. I'm 3 weeks out and on mushies/soft foods, and it is so much better. For those who worry because they were grazers - I was somewhat worried about this, but at this point I've found there's no reason to worry. After I eat, I am so full I can't imagine taking another bite of anything for a couple hours. And then when I'm no longer full, it's time to eat again. At this point I'm supposed to be eating every 2 hours, and sometimes even that doesn't feel like enough time between. It's been just under two hours since I last ate and I'm still full right now. It takes me just about the whole day to eat something I used to eat in one setting. Such as today, at lunch I ordered the tilapia with mashed potatoes and spinach. It also came with two pieces of garlic bread. I didn't touch the garlic bread and ended up throwing the spinach out after maybe four or five bites total today. I did finish the fish and most of the potatoes (my plan allows for mashed potatoes) but that was after 4 mini-meals. I'm able to eat about 2-3 ounces at a time.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
