Day 1 of soft foods stage. Had my mom's Caldo de Pollo without any of the rice, corn or potatoes aka the good stuff but luckily the flavor was still there!

I've never been so happy to eat carrots 🥲1071331976_PXL_20221026_214121732(1).thumb.jpg.cf38978d002f74499e8c1ec3a7e7ba5c.jpg

snack (or second dinner? lol)

im on an oatmeal love-fest these days after having it for the first time in YEARS last week!

another first: eating raw bananas. i've had banana bread, cooked banana Desserts, but i haven't had an actual as-is banana since before surgery four years ago.

verdict: its kinda filling and im afraid the amount i ate, combined with the brown sugar i added to the oatmeal, may be enough to send me on a minor dumping episode shortly. oh well.

331 calories for the bowl, i ate pretty much all the oatmeal, and about 1/2 the banana.

given the way im feeling now, bananas are off the menu again.

Looks good! I eat bananas once every few months. But when I do it usually all in the same week (because no one else wants bananas all of a sudden)

slept in this morning (very uncharacteristic of me...im am early bird thu and thru!)

...so first meal of day is coming in pretty late: homemade chicken Soup with Pasta shells, topped with crispy fried onions: 292 calories, ate it all.

This is an instance of me just guessing the calories since i was too lazy to input the recipe into MFP, and i didn't trust the cal counts of the ones already listed in their database. close enough!!

Y’all remember those pie pumpkins I bought in September as part of my groceries?

I roasted one and made it into…. A pie! 😂🤷‍♀️

I probably won’t even eat any of it but it sure smells good.

I'm on-call today and while I'm feeling a little tensed (and already had an awful quarrel within the first hour of duty this morning...) I could somehow make up my mind to cook something up:

Re-heated tadiq rice from the freezer, Vivera like-chicken filet, a stew made from bottled Tomato, date tomatoes on their last leg, an aubergine, garbanzos, harissa spice, cinnamon, raisins and some Peanut Butter. The yoghurt stuff is soy skyr with a minty spice, red bell pepper and cucumber.

Lightning is bad as it's already dark and daylight makes the best pictures.

Plenty of leftovers from the stew. The second filet will be cubed and put on a salad I bought on Thursday.

meals on the weekends are often junky cuz its mr.'s turn to cook and he usually ends up ordering take out if we don't go out!

so today it was pizza and wings!

436 calories.

Ate the 3 wings & hot sauce, and 1/2 the pizza slice.

Ugh. i feel stuffed (it was the pizza crust...they ordered it extra thick)

      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!!
