What are you having at 2-3 weeks out??

Well ive just been having... popsicless..water....juice..tea... atkins shakes......pudding... jello is yuck... and ive had some chicken broth.. but not them nasty bouillion cubes.. I really want some chili from wendys...and a pickle... i acutally am in the process of sucking the pickle juice and chewin it up then i spit it back out in bowl.lol... i just wanted to cruch...... so what is everyone else havin?

I just got moved to stage 3 yesterday... but up till yesterday my menu looked just like yours.. well minus the pickle Today was my very first day that I had 1 egg with some low fat cheese and I have to tell you it was SO YUMMY and of course for lunch I went to wendys and got me some chilli which I have to say was ohhhh so great but HEAVY... so I got like 4 spoons into it and the rest went to the fridge. But I have been cleared for flaky fish, tuna fish, cottage cheese, string cheese, ground turkey and purees (apple sauce, cream soups, taco bell refried beans with cheese (yum)). I felt like a kid in a candy store yesterday at the grocery store lol. I cant wait till you get to stage 3 it makes such a difference. I would feel some hunger in stage 2 but today nothing... I actually have to remind myself to eat. I hope you are with me soon!!! Hang in there and it seems you are doing great... and you look great too! Everyone says they can see it most on my face and it's true... you shine!

I just had some Wendys chilli...... I wanted something to drink so bad after I ate it. I feel like maybe my surgery did not work. I had some chilli, (2spoonfuls), and little mashed potatoes. I am not sure if I am full or not ....I am starting a new title.... What does "FULL" feel like to you !

The third stage has been so great I started it on Tuesday that Wendy chilli before surgery was just ok but post-op its been more than delightful....only things I get worried about is that yesterday I aint and felt full but when i ate dinner which was the Wendy chilli I got half way and still was hungry but I stopped myself cuz I was worried bout the amount I had eaten....then today I didnt feel so hungry all day that made me worried....

Stage 2 of Foods of Pureed vegetables in soups, creamed soups, skim/low-fat milk, sugar-free & low-fat pudding/fruit juices/yogurt/custards, sliced cheese, PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS!!!

question: I was banded on 3/31 and since then have had an awful taste in my mouth and terrible bad breath - anyone have this - what are you doing?

Hi honey... you are not alone... go to the RNY forum and on the second page I posted the exact same question and got like 10 responses.. it helped. It basically came down to having something to keep in your pocket at all time... they make suggestions as to what has worked for them individually. They also told me that it was only temporary until you get introduced to more foods... that was comforting too. Good luck and I hope the posting helps you.. I know it did me! Take care.. follow stinky breath! Marisol

it's because you are in ketosis. the same thing that happens when you are on a low carb/high protein diet. it's a sign that your body is burning it's own fat sources. it will go away when you can add healthy carbs back into your diet.

I am able to eat anything but red meat, fresh fruit, potatos, corn, and protein shakes. I have not had a problem with anything. I totally know what you mean about pickles!!! I do have my favorite now! Laughing Cow Light Garlic and Herb cheese spread on a deli slice of turkey. It is heaven! It would also be REALLY good with a pickle in the middle!

i eat anything. not sweets but food wise. my dr said as long as i can tolerate it, then go ahead. yesterday i had wendy's chili. and i had a fajita salad today.
