2 days til soft foods



Recommended Posts

and i cant wait. so the paperwork my nutritionist gave me says i can move onto soft foods on May 3rd. Such as scrambled eggs, canned chicken, tuna, crab meat, ect...

I think i am going to grab a dozen quail eggs at the supermarket since those are so much smaller and can probably do 2 of those to start and see what i can handle. and gonna pick up a cluster of crab legs too. Its been a month now of liquids so i am dying for something solid lol.

I remember how exciting that stage was. I was planning my menu for days. lol

Oh i have been too lmao. I got a bunch of different tuna pouches, canned chicken, fish. heading tomorrow to get the quail eggs. I am so hoping i can handle it because man these shakes are getting old. Today i had to leave the house because there was a big bbq of smoked ribs and such. So wanted some haha.

CONGRATS! Words of advice... seriously eat SLOWLY and start with 1 egg. I thought people were smoking some serious drugs when they told me a single egg would make me full. I barely finished it in 20 mins or so and good grief, I swear it was the most glorious thing I'd ever eaten!

Hello! Today is my 9th day post-op and I’m feeling a bit more anxious to eat something. Any suggestions?

stick to the liquids until your surgeon tells you you can move on. We need to heal first otherwise we put our sleeves in jeopardy. trust me i know how you are feeling. But get that Protein in and fluids.

Yes that is why i am going to go buy quail eggs. They are tiny. figure i would start with those and work my way up to a standard chicken egg. and i cant wait lol.

Congrats on your surgery! If there was ever a countdown in my life that I looked forward to the most, it was the liquid to soft stage. Enjoy your quail eggs. [emoji106]

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
