Sorry I’ve been missing but my baby sister had mini strokes on top of sepsis a couple weeks ago and since I speak “medicalese” (per my mother) I took hospital duties which meant a lot of unseasoned Soups, green Beans and too many coffees and Snacks. But now that she’s awake and learning to feed herself again I can step back a bit. (It’s been stressful!)

Anyway, todays micro pizza slices (sauce cup for reference- didn’t use) because the restaurant didn’t deliver my salad. 😞

How awful @Starwarsandcupcakes. I’m glad your baby sitter is making improvement - a long way to go though I’d expect. She was very fortunate to have you supporting her. Make sure you make some time for you now the worst is over. Take care of the carer.

Hi! Had my VSG May 19,2023. I am looking forward to transitioning to puréed diet. I was told I could have tuna and egg salad. Any suggestions on a mayo to use? I tried to eat Campbells Cream of chicken, I probably ate it too fast, I experienced a mild dumping. Now, I am worried about the fat in normal mayo. Any ideas are much appreciated!

A low fat mayo that you can tolerate. It may take trying a few before you find what you like. Another option is to use yogurt to replace all or some of the mayo. Good luck on your recovery.

Oh My God @Starwarsandcupcakes. I’m so sorry. 😱 I read your post as your baby sitter not baby sister & thought you had a very close relationship with your sitter.

I mean we are close and she used to watch my kids when I worked nights.

But the first thing she really wanted when they removed the vent was food. And called her nurse a smartass. 😂 So… at least her sense of humor is intact. Physical therapy has been great with her the past few days. She’s able to sit up more without pain and is trying to move her legs more but that’s still a struggle.

Bonus food I’ve had this weekend that wasn’t hospital food!

chicken fried cauliflower rice and a couple salads.

@Starwarsandcupcakes I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. What an awful thing. I hope she makes a full recovery and that you're OK too. I love this part of the forum, love seeing everyone else's food and you're such a big contributor. Be kind to yourself.

One last bowl of hospital cafeteria food- Tomato Soup mixed with corn and bell peppers. Sister was moved to rehab for therapy!

Also, thought someone might like these food prep ideas.

Good news about your sister @Starwarsandcupcakes. That Soup looks pretty darn good for hospital cafeteria food.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
