Help Me!!!

Hey Lady!!
I had surgery the same day as you and I actually posted yesterday that I wanted food. How funny!!! You will get through it! I had some cream broccoli cheese soup thinned out with chicken broth and now I feel like I am eating again. Good luck to you, we will make it!

Thanks Hun!!!  You hang in there also!!  WE WILL MAKE IT!  As a matter of fact, It's already done!  I'm going to pick up some cream soup also;-)

What your going thru is totally normal. I remember thinking the first week "what have I done" I'm now two years out and have done well. My favorite thing to eat was to put split pea soup or lentil soup in the blender. Both are filling. Hang in there it will get better.

Hugs,

Lynnette

Thanks-a-bunch!  I guess I need to get my Magic Bullet out of the box and put it to use.  Two years...can't even imagine right now!  Thanks again for the encouragement...much needed and much appreciated!

To answer your previous question, yes you can have soup from Olive Garden IF you blend it up in your magic bullet until it's thin like cream of wheat.  No chunks.  I used to have potato, totato,or clam chowder all made with milk and blended until very thin.  You can also blend up things like vegetable soup too.

Tonia, allot of people go through a regret stage.  You've (we've) lost our friend.....food.  It gets better I promise as the weight starts coming off you'll be elated.  Try to stay focused and know that it gets better as time progresses.

Are you doing shakes yet?  On purees you'll be able to eat more and once you heal you'll feel the full feeling.

Thanks!  It's always good to hear I'm not alone...although......

What types of shakes?  No shakes yet.  I'm trying to be positive...you guys have helped me alot!!!!
 

Protein shakes, I saw you were and having trouble finding one you like.  I don't mind at all sending you sample of the Optimum Nutrition I drink if you want.  Let me know and I'll get it out to you by the end of the week.

Okay guys, tomorrow is puree time!  I went to Walmart and purchased cream soups, cream of wheat, pudding, applesauce, Hood's Milk, and a bottle of baby food.  So, wish me well!!!!

Please don't hesitate to offer suggestions.

Hey I have been where u are and u will get over it. It is just that we use to live to eat and now we eat to live. Believe me u will do just fine. I had my surgery on Feb.21st 2006. But for the 1st six weeks I lived on Popsicles and crushed ice. I could not do any of the Protein Shakes or anything that had to do with Protein.  But when I did start eating I ate alot of Peanut Butter and Fish and Chicken and things that had some Protein in them. I didn't loose much Hair but I will tell u that some of the people in my Pasadena Support Group got all of the Protein that needed everyday and they lost more hair than I did. So just try and get ur Protein in some other way like I did. Oh yea I ate alot of Yougurt.

I will have u in my thoughts and also in my Prayers that u will do just fine and that the weight will just keep coming off of u........

Just hang in there and it will work out. The first 6 weeks I was like u, I would cry and ask why I had the surgery because I was a Happy Fat Person........... But now I would tell everyone to have it...........It has changed my Life forever and Now I can be with my KIds and my Grand-kids for alot more years..................

"MAY GOD BLESS U THRU THIS TIME"
