Watcha eating today?

Hey guys just thought we might like to share what we are eating today. B: 1 scrambled egg w/shredd. cheese S: 4oz protien drink L: 1/4 cup cottage chesse S: 4oz protien drink D: 1/4 cup fat free refriend beans w/ fat free sour cream. Melissa

Oh how funny! I can only eat scrambled eggs w/ shredded cheese, refried beans and protein drink w/ banana....haven't attempted anything else really. I am not alone!!! How much have you lost so far, I find I am at a brief standstill on the scale, but feel lighter everytime I wake up. Shannon

Shannon, I have not been to my surgeon yet for a weigh in, but I had to go and pick my daughter up from Northern VA this past Monday. We went to a Wilco gas station and I got on the scale there. Guaranteed the scale may not be right, but from it I have lost 17 pounds. I am excited and hope its right. How about you?? Melissa

According to the doctor I went from 273 to 253 According to my scale: 273 to 245 So, I would estimate around 25 lbs, but I am at a standstill....getting bloated from PMS and next week my period is due. I have my next appt. with the surgeon next week on the 12th and I'll see what their scale says. I was so disappointed today because I feel so fat...guess it's the water weight from pd. grrrrrrrrrrr Shannon

Still on wonderful world of pureed: B: 2 tbs applesauce S: protein shake L: 1/4 cup chicken noodle soup w/o the noodles S: S/F jello D: Vegetable beef Soup S: Protein shake

JaNae, Just think you do not have that much longer to be on the pureed stage. Soon you will be able to add more things to your diet, and it will be better. Melissa

I had my surgery on the 19th and so far I have eaten I am on pureed) Carb control yogurt scrambled eggs 8 oz protein and milk drinks canned refried beans canned peas - mashed Campbells bean with bacon soup - mashed with underwood deviled ham added (this was very good) Canned Salmon - thinned with lowfat Cream cheese Canned chicken breast pureed in blender Mashed potatoes SF applesauce mashed bananas Some baby food prunes Some of the middle of family's lasagna (mostly the ricotta cheese part) Water, Crystal light no caf ice tea, Tropicana SF Orangeade No problems so far but I find that it is hard to take my first drink in the morning - my stomach feels weird. Most of the above was eaten in 1/8 to 1/4 cup portions, chewed very well and strained thru my teeth to make sure it is small and usually eaten slowly (although I sometimes catch myself eating fast)

I have just started my pureed phase. I have had 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese, and 1 egg scrambled w/ shred cheese. Tonight I am going to try the fat free re-fried beans. Although, last night in an attempt to push to protein I had a shake. It had 1/2 banana 1/2 cup sf pudding 8oz milk 2 tablespoons of peanut butter It was really good, I could not get it all down but it was good. Melissa

I eat about the same as Dan plus tuna and canned fruit (pears and peaches)

It seems like we are all just about on the same page. Melissa
