Hey guys. As you all know, the board has been a lilttle slow lately. Thought I wuld try to get something happening. What did you ahve for supper tonight? We had pork tenderloin, collard greens and mexican cornbread muffins. YUM YUM!! Those collard green**** the spot! I have been cravign green veggies the last few day!! So guys, what did you eat??? Let me hear about it!

Hi Phyllis,

I'm 7 weeks out today and still struggling to eat anything with any consistency!  I had a half of a melted mozzarella stick with maranara sauce and the inside of a beef and bean burrito.  I ate the cheese stick because there was only about a teaspoon of filling in the burrito.  I ate small bites, slowly, methodically, but yep, I dumped.  My pouch just doesn't like food with any consistency yet.  I am so believing things will get better.

I love collards and cornbread! 

Anita,

Bless your heart. I just said a prayer for you, asking the Lord to allow things to get better for you soon. I had trouble early out too. If you are near a Taco Bell, try some refried beans without the red sauce and cheese. You can thin them down a littel with a spoon of water. They have a decent amount of protein. Early out, this was my best friend.  Cheese of any type was hard for me at first. It has a fair amount of fat and tends to be rubbery. I always got the foamies...ICK!  Have you tried cottage cheese? I still eat cottage cheese real regular. I love to add a spoonof sugar free strawberry jelly. Yum! That is still a favorite of mine. Hang in there girl! It will get better!!

Thanks for the prayers!  You are so sweet to pray for me. 

I just ate some Wendy's chili, and believe it or not, I didn't dump.  Sometimes I can eat, other times no and I never know.  It just beats all I've ever seen!  I know I won't be able to eat the leftovers, at least I can't usually eat leftover anything.  Anyway, I'm hanging in there, and I'm learning what does and doesn't work for me...what a new journey!

I love Smuckers Sugar Free Strawberry jelly with splenda.  I loved it before WLS, as my hubby is diabetic and that's what we buy for him.  (it used to be so good on a biscuit with bacon!)  I also eat it in plain greek yogurt and cottage cheese.  Sometimes I put SF jello in the yogurt and cottage cheese too.  I have no trouble with soft foods, but am having serious trouble transitioning to more firm textures. 

I was working late so I ate at my desk.  I had a turkey sandwich with Havarti cheese on lite wheat with some prigles wheat stix.  Not too exciting but it was good and did the trick.  I would have rather had your dinner, though.  LOL.  I love me some collard greens.
