Lots of luck, I really hope you enjoyed your salsbury steak. Just remember to eat slow, I think that might be my bigest problem. Because I eat small pieces, I think just to fast.

I just got released to eat more stuff but typically this is what I have been having:
Breakfast: 2-3 oz of oatmeal
Lunch: some tuna
Dinner: 1 scrambled egg or maybe some ground up ham/turkey deli meat
And of course my morning protien drink and my nightly protien drink.
Tonight, I had a salsbury steak. And boy did it taste good as it was something new. Yipee. (little things make me happy now) LOL

i have eggbeaters and half a whole grain toast for breakfast ..sometimes with cheese sometimes without.
Lunch i usually have chicken, with salsa..green or red whatever is on hand. I've also had shrimp and high protien pasta. I've made meatballs a few times also.
for dinner i'll have fish and spinach or a salad with turkey breast and cheese and a little dressing.
I've tried almost everything except read meat and of course sugar.
If i want a sweet snack i have a small fruit salad with what ever fruits are available. Usually straberries, blueberries and banana OR a handful of kashi go lean crunch.

Hi Julie!!
Welcome to the board of losers!! It's the first time in our lives that any of us have been proud to be losers! LOL!
It sounds to me like you've had a smoothe an successful surgery, recovery and journey so far! That's awesome!! I've had a few complications, but I'm past them now and seem to be doing ever so much better.
I had lost 33 lbs pre-op and have lost 33 lbs post-op for a total of 66 lbs gone forever!! I started out at 254 lbs and now weigh 188. Passing that 200 mark was joyous even though it was in the midst of difficulties! For eight LONGGGG weeks I suffered from a restricted esophagus. I have had to have it dilated twice. The first time was on September 21st and the second time was on October 9th. The opening at the restricted area was about the size of a pencil eraser! No wonder I couldn't get anything (even liquids sometimes!) to go down! This past couple of weeks has been AWESOME!! This last dilation dilated the opening at the restricted area to almost the size of a dime. MUCH easier to get food to go down, that's for sure!
I'm glad you found us and I look forward to getting to know you (and your journey) much better!
God bless you!
