http://milestogo.squarespace.com/post-op-food-phase-3-soft-food/ I'm 1 month out from gastric bypass and my favorite meals are: Lemon Pepper Tilapia - 1 Tilapia filet, extra virgin olive oil (lightly covering), then lemon pepper seasoning, and finally finely grated Parmesan cheese (very light) - bake in oven Greek Yogurt…

What kinds of things are you eating now? I love some of the recipes on bariatricfoodie.com or Pinterest has some great ones, as well.

UPDATE: Last week I stuck to what I was supposed to do, as each of you told me and I lost 4.8 lbs. Thank you to everyone for your encouraging words and help! I greatly appreciate it!

That was wonderful! Thank you for the humorous and enlightening advice! It was awesome!

Thank you! And you are exactly right, if I stick to the requirements and recommendations the scale will move. I was doing exactly as you stated: comparing myself to others and their progress. I find it still hard to get all my water and protein in, but I am trying my best. :smile: Thank you again!

7/28/15 - Started 2 week all-liquid diet - 305.6 (0.0 lbs lost) 8/11/15 - Surgery date - 287 (-18.6 lbs) 8/17/15 - 1 week post-op - 283 (-22.6 lbs) 8/24/15 - 2 weeks post-op - 279.2 (-26.4 lbs) 8/31/15 - 3 weeks post-op - 277 (-28.2 lbs)

Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I appreciate it greatly! :)

That is great to know! I should have done my measurements before surgery. I will need to start keeping up with them. I will keep this in mind, thank you! :)

Maybe we need to do like Martabeerich and do measurements instead of lbs and see what difference there is :)

I am so happy you are seeing progress in the inches and can see that it is working. I hope you continue to see positive results! :)

You are fantastic! Your positive perspective is very kind and helpful. Thank you for your encouragement and knowledge!

I had never heard about the 3-week issue. Thank you for letting me know! This was very helpful.

Should I be hitting a plateau this early, though? It's only been 3 weeks....

You can add protein to coffee; however, my doctor's office suggests not making it hotter than 140 degrees Fahrenheit because the protein will start to clump.

Thank you for the encouraging words. I am doing everything I am supposed to (even trying to get in all the water and protein I can). Just needed to know if I am off track. Thanks! :)

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! I will start trying the suggestions and go from there. I really really appreciate you all!

Did you just put the protein in, then water, and how much sugar free pudding per 8 oz?

That's a really good idea! I will try some of my samples with ice.

I have heard of adding the sugar free pudding before. Which kinda did you use with what flavors of protein?

That's a good idea. I know someone doing Isopure and enjoy the flavors. It's just that I have to use either Bariatric Advantage or Unjury 2 weeks before surgery. After that, they said I could do any protein supplement as long as the first ingredient was "whey protein isolate".

I wonder why different doctor's prescribe or tell you to use something different than someone else. My sister is going through a Center of Excellence, and so am I, and they both are telling us different things. I am following my doctor's orders, but I would rather give some of these other ones a taste.

This is so inspiring! Thank you! You look fabulous!

I am glad you had a great weekend still

*groans* No me gusta. lol I was able to put some Pink Lemonade Crystal Light with the Strawberry Sorbet and it actually made it really good.

I wish I could do something different than the two brands I listed. My doctor's office said that I have to get the 2 week before surgery supply from them (which only includes that Bariatric Advantage and Unjury). Is the Premier's first ingredient "Whey Protein Isolate"?

Absolutely gorgeous! Such great motivation for me! Thanks!

This is too cute! I've lost a cinder block (almost).

I love love love it! I got 3-4 times a week and it makes my stress levels go down. As well as, I can tell a difference and I have been going for almost 2 months. I used to go a couple of years ago and went 5 times a week, and was hard core on Atkins, and I lost 50 lbs in 3 months. Just stick to it.... It's only 30 minutes!…

^^^^^^^This ^^^^^^^ "Grown men fish for sustenance". I agree
