Yesterday was my 3 week mark! It also was my last day on the full liquid diet. I got this totally! Weight on Saturday was 278.2. Down 3 more lbs. Can’t wait to take my 1 Month pictures next week! I am so over liquid stage of my diet. Sick and tired of the plain taste and nothingness of what I was drinking. I am getting in 2 to 3 protein shakes around 50 to 70 grams of protein. I have tried this milk called Fairlife. It has 50% more Protein and 50% less sugar. It does have a bit of a different taste but I like it. It is also expensive and doesn’t mix well with dry protein supplements.
I am trying to do more movement throughout the day even did an aerobic walking video. It was really hard because when I exercised in the past I gulped water. Now I can’t do that. A friend suggested chipped ice to suck on and I am going to try that. I also realized how out of shape I am. It was kind of a deflated feeling.
Today however was an excited day! Pureed foods. I was kinda dreading this stage I mean eating pureed chicken and tuna? But I was so over the full liquid it was awesome to ‘eat’ food! I have to start obeying the no drinking 30 min before and afyer eating so more thunking about what goes in my mouth.
I made pureed egg salad for lunch and then pureed chicken and flavored it individually in little cups. BBQ sauce, taco sauce, buffalo sauce, honey teriyaki, and chicken salad. Pureed squash and beans too. How did I do all this? My very best friend gave me her baby food maker! What a life saver! It even cooks the food for me if I wanted!
Love this because I can do the small amount I need instead of my ninja needing to be filled up really high to work well. I have almost my whole week of food made. I had already pureed some chili my husband had made in preparation and froze it. I am also going to make pureed tuna salad for a lunch to try. I won’t do any other fish though.
Ah and I even got some spice in tonight. Added Buffalo sauce to my pureed chicken and it was fine. I was fine! Yes I love anything spicy spicy so this makes me soooo happy!
Yay for Food!

Great job! It felt good to start puréed food this week for me as well. I’m still not giving up my tiny tummy space for veggies and fruit… I’m doing good to get my protein in. Good luck!😀

You look so organized! Way to go! Unfortunately I can’t handle spicy stuff yet – hope that changes down the road. I’m not sure what size you are in but I have 4 pair of 20/22 capris. If you are interested, email me with your address and I’ll mail them.

I try to wear capris they look funny on me because I am tall. Thanks for the offer though! I am so glad I am able to handle all my spicy! Sriracha oh how I have missed you!

Where did you get your pureed food recipes? I don’t have my surgery until the 29th, but I am trying to get everything I need to before I go under the knife. I dont want to have to be looking up stuff last minute and not know what to do. I am going to look for a baby food maker as well, Because their is no since in wasting the stuff in the ninja.

I did not use any recipes! I just put the meat or veggies in the baby food maker, or a blender or food processor would work too and added milk or water to thin it to applesauce consistency and then added low fat / low calorie dressing or made a ‘salad’ with mayo and mustard.

I’m definitely nervous about doing the liquid part, not so much about missing food but protein shakes tend to make me gag.

Try Premier Protein, they are the best I have had so far!
