Food prep for sure. Have some grab and go things in you fridge like measured out chicken, ham or tuna, garbanzo beans, sugar snap peas. Whatever you surgeon says you can eat at this stage. Get in the habit now and it will make it easier down the road.
I really liked the caramel flavored calcium citrate chews. Haven't tried the lemon, but I love lemon and may have to try them. The thing I'm finding now is that if something is sweetened w/artificial sugar, it leaves a bad after taste in my mouth. So I haven't taken them in a while. As far as cooking goes, eat it, then freeze it. I do that and then it's easy to grab things out of the freezer for work or those times I don't feel like cooking.
Mom & Me VSG Great idea on the freezing! And I really hope I can get these new calciums down. I'm really worried about it because I feel the same way with the artificial sweeteners. It's just SO sweet and it kind of turns my tummy! Fingers crossed and I so appreciate the support!
Great work breaking that stall! I can, seriously, not WAIT to have some avocado! I've been craving it like crazy!! haha! Maybe try meal prepping for a week? Then there won't technically be leftovers, they'll just be another day's meal. A couple different types of meat and veggies? I hope it works out for you!!
sleevefortink Good call on the food prep, I was actually just talking to my sister about that. Oh yes! I remember being right where you are, wanting avocado! I wonder why we crave it so bad? Hmm... Must be our bodies begging for some fat lol
Marika on the Move I won't know for sure until I go to my 3 month post-op check up with my Primary Care Doctor. But I can say that I do not feel lethargic in any way and I just over all feel great! Lots more energy! So, I think so far so good :)

Must be! I can not wait! I keep telling people my first "meal" for puree, refried beans and avocado with some cheese *drooling*!! Haha :)
