Recent post-ops: Eat what works!

soooooooooooo eating milkshakes, pancakes and big cookies allll the time is bad form then?

Not if they are protein milkshakes, protein cakes, and sugar free peanut butter cookies...

 I remember my first solid meal was one lusciously prepared sea scallop.  Best damn scallop I ever ate and I was happy and satisfied.  Even went to bed with a little smile on my face.  The first months ya just have to 'go with it'  I drank protein and water all day and had a tiny meal in the evening. (something mushy eaten from a ramekin with a baby spoon)  That's what personally worked best for me. 

I remember always being in a rush to 'get to the next stage'  I did crave normalcy in my eating more than anything else.  But as it's been said a million times before, it's a process.  I spent a lot of time before surgery preparing for how eating and weight loss was going to be for the next couple of years.   Unfortunately, I failed pre-op to really confront the healing process that was to happen for the next few months.

A sea scallop is the perfect picture of the size of a "meal" in the early months.
Great example! And YUM!
