I HATE FOOD!

This is great!

My whole day will go down the tubes if I don't start with protein in the morning. I learned real fast that eating 4 hours after I get up will make my life misery for the rest of the day. Problem is, if I try to start with food first thing it's also bad, and I cannot stand protein drinks unless I make one of my high protein hot chocolates.

so I compromise. I use 8 oz of fairlife milk to take my morning meds, then a hour or so later I can eat something light (and not scrambled eggs, ugh) and get on with the rest of my day. If it's a particularly bad pouch day I just eat fish fillets with a little sauce something on top- lemon, lime or one of my not so hot, hot sauces, and just forget trying to eat veggies. 

My high protein hot chocolate drink is 1 packet of diet Swiss miss chocolate, one scoop of isopure plain mixed with 1 ounce tepid water until it's a paste, 8 ounces of hot fair life milk stirred in and viola! A protein drink I can tolerate. My Dr suggested this at my 3 month check-up and it's the only way I can do a protein drink. 

I still have days where I hate to eat. But it is getting better :)

Wow ! I really admire U guys/gals for being so tough. There's no question why you're winners here!

me, I'm just a soft marshmallow and yes I was very offended by the "rules" too as I'd never really obeyed anything. I was kinda like a wild overeating feral cat. The thing is their life expectancy is under three years .((())) here's huge hugs in congratulation that you got here. Almost everybody I had surgery with did not ever find their way here even once. They suffered malnutrition and runaway regain for the most part. Some never lost ANY weight ( how?) 

please listen to the caring vets here . Keep your health your sanity and get a hot body (( hugs and best wishes))))

Oh no what is going on?

I am much too far behind you to give you any insight.

I have to admit that I have a new appreciation for everything that goes into my mouth...

So far everything I am eating tastes amazing...

I am still at the soft stage and I have seen in the past that you are much more adventurous & creative with your recipes.

I don't have a huge list of what I can tolerate and eat BUT I am definitely sticking with what works!

I truly hope that doesn't happen to me when I am at your stage of the journey.

Not sure what I can add to help.  Sending you a hug.

I must agree with the vets though.  Enjoy the success while it lasts.

Take care & Mahalo

Sandra.  

I seem to be feeling a little better today.  I'm hoping that this is a new trend :)

Can you elaborate on "goes down badly"?

doesn't taste good going down, sits heavy in my stomach

Congrats on your lifestyle adjustment. This too will pass and you will merely look at certain foods as an avoidance but remember, it is not not forever.
