Two months out and I say small plates help me a lot with this diet! I take about an hour to eat each meal because if I eat to fast I get sick and throw up.. this plate is small but looks so full :) make sure to drink your fluids! I was hospitalized for three days last week for dehydration!!

1509557840624.jpeg this little meal has been good for me to take to work. The portion size is good. It's tasty and cheap. Now that I can't eat much I absolutely hate spending money eating out for lunch. It's got 11 grams Protein so I do add that to my daily tally. Down 100 lbs in 4 months. I'm like you though if I eat too fast I feel sick. I don't throw up anymore but my stomach feels yucky for hours. Like I swallowed a brick.

@kandieqvt1Isn't perspective funny? That looks like a ginormous amount of food!!! But I bet in reality, that is 1 campari Tomato and 1 small buffalo mozzarella ball with about 1 1/2 ounce of chicken and a few pickled mushrooms (the tiny ones)? Not so much in reality. But looks yummy!

Do you find any difficulty dealing with the chicken on its own and being "dry-er" in consistency, rather than in a stewed, moist preparation?

Yes I always need to eat a Tomato with it or something wet cuz I find it hard to swallow..

Oh wow! Great to know that a Tomato works for the "wet" part! Super excited about this. Thanks! Does an avocado work for the wet also?

My dietitian still encourages some kind of low fat low carbs sauce on meat that is dry. I sometimes use a little bit of Greens low carb gravy granules or make a white sauce with a little cornflour and milk and seasonings for fish. Goes down much easier and it's just a spoonful that's needed. I never use bottled ketchup BBQ etc due to the sugar. If I don't have sauce then sometimes small sips of Water but just sips. I am about 10 weeks post RNY lost 96lbs

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
