pizza is my favorite food too! When I was able to eat purees, I made the ricotta bake with pizza sauce and melted some mozzarella on it. It helped relieve some of the head hunger/craving that I was having from seeing all the Pizza commercials.
Thanks, Naynay77! I will definitely be searching for that recipe as soon as I hit the puree stage. Just 9 more days.

OMG, YES! Water is the first thing I noticed. I had a sip of coffee today... tastes like poison. That makes me sad.

Do you crave the caffeine? I saw your thread about tea flavors and thought a lot of those sounded amazing. It's a nice way to switch up the water and water flavorings. Personally, I hate buying one use plastics and felt like the tea might be a better option for me than buying the Vitamin water, Mio, Gatorade zero, etc. I'm so glad you started that post, Lisa. I've been drinking the Premier Protein cafe latte flavor to get my fix in for now.

December surgery buddies:
Just a quick reminder that there is an awesome app out there that will help you track your progress visually and automatically take measurements for you. It's called Me ThreeSixty. (No waiting for a partner to take your measurements or trying to do it yourself while holding one end of the tape measure in your teeth)

As you continue to take scans, you can compare two scan dates side by side, both visually and with measurements.

The measurements are approximations from taking a front facing and side view photo, but as long as you are consistent the progress should be the same.

I took a scan pre-surgery and then plan to take another one when I hit the first benchmark that uses the slider of what I would look like minus the next lbs lost (in my screenshot, that would be 18 lbs, so once I lose three more pounds, I will take my second scan!) Anyway, I thought you might like to try it out.

I threw CiCi off because I double posted a post in a new topic in a separate forum. https://www.bariatricpal.com/index.php?/topic/442800-MeThreeSixty,-Baritastic,-or-other-helpful-apps

How are the rest of you doing on recovery? 600 calories doesn't feel like enough now toward the end of the night. I feel hungry and I haven't gone back to work yet.

I actually got 75g of Protein yesterday, but 635 calories and my tummy was hungry with pangs last night.

Lol the calorie deficit is going to my head, it seems! Sorry for the confusion

Long story short, had my first dumping episode and it suuuuuuucked. Thanks to soy milk! I'm so hesitant with fluids other than Water since, but decided to try a cup a Soup tonight for a savoury flavour. Pray for me that it goes well

How is everyone else doing? I'm definitely having the 'head hunger' creep in. I'm lucky to live alone So I Don't have to prep food for anyone else. I can't imagine how tough it is for folks making meals for others!

Every time I pass/smell food I kind of have a little pang, but I can get over it. It's not forever, just for now. I was visiting a friend today, and when they brought out bread sticks and cream cheese to snack on - I instinctively thought to grab one. I didn't, of course, but it was crazy how quick that thought came and over rode my logic! This stuff runs deep in the subconscious, I guess

I had my surgery on the 30th and I’m currently almost done with the full liquid diet. January 14th is when I can finally go to puréed food. So I bought some baby food and some instant mashed potatoes. They said sweet potatoes, but I cannot stand sweet potatoes, they’re just too sweet. I’m only having 2-4 tablespoons of food per meal and I’m forcing myself to eat. I don’t feel hungry. I have to say I’m really sick of Soup. Puréed diet is only a week long as is soft foods. I can finally go back to regular food the day after my birthday on the 28th (my birthday is the 27th). We usually go out to eat for my birthday, so finding a place that I can get something that can be reheated is going to be tough. The packet said to avoid red meat because it may not be digested well, but I ate beef chili liquified and was able to handle it so that shouldn’t be a problem. If I can’t handle it I’ll just save it and give it to my brother-in-law. I would get ramen, but I don’t think I’d be able to handle it. The portions in Idaho are huge, so it’s not really possible to find only 2-4 tablespoons of food. I could just ask my sister to get me some things off my Amazon list instead I guess.

      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 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
