Thanks. I’m definitely doing everything right. I ended up just having chicken broth with unflavored Protein for dinner that night and it helped settle my stomach.

I'm glad the broth helped. I feel like craving will get me in trouble. It's finding healthier versions. A lot to learn after surgery.

Good morning wishing you all a blessed day full of healing progress
I think I am turning the corner and getting better.
On a less pleasant note, anyone else having green poo?

Nope. Mine is a lovely shade of yellow...lol You can google poo colors and what they could mean. But with having surgery, I'm not sure that'll be very accurate right now.

So I meal prepped for my husband for a really long time when he cut carbs out a few years ago. So I have a lot of different healthy foods recipes. I am trying to learn to cook for one without wasting. I have 5 kids and a step son. So I’m used to cooking huge meals. Tonight I made them spaghetti. For myself I had a little riced cauliflower ground chicken sugar free prego sauce and fat free mozzarella. My own little version of “spaghetti “. Of course only ate like an ounce lol. But I have leftover for tomorrow.

Went to a renaissance festival today with my kiddos, 5 hours of walking around in the hot sun. I was wasted by the time we left, slept the entire 50m drive back to our house. Might have been a bit too much 2 weeks out of surgery. Other than that, did great. I did want a bite of my kid's sausage on a stick (one of my favorite things), but it wasn't too hard to resist

Hope you are all doing great.

I'm craving hot wings. Can't quite puree that and it be any good. I'm searching the internet for ideas.

Ya, that's a lot. Also being in the sun can zap your energy, especially if you're not staying hydrated enough. I would say for a day like that around 100oz of Water.

The liquid stage is hard, but it will pass. For now, here's a laugh... just don't forget your scoop of Protein Powder, lol

Oh interesting. Let me know if you find anything. I know that cauliflower is used to make “hot wings”.

I wouldn’t have made it. I can’t do heat for that long. Only 2 weeks PO. I stay hydrated and even just 30 mins outside is to much. But I also live in Texas so it’s hot.

That's a good idea. Maybe I can have that during soft food stage with a very mild sauce

I second the cauliflower idea. I have had some at restaurants and while they aren't hot wings, they are a decent replacement.

Where in Texas? I live in a Dallas suburb, but thankfully we haven't hit anywhere near Texas hot yet this year.
