Yummy! Why didn't you blend a $1 Jimmy John sandwich?

I had no intention of being judgmental but reading it back it could be taken that way. I need to reread things before I post.

Anonymous, although your comment sounds a little judgmental to me, I am going to give you the benefit of a doubt and assume that you are truly curious.

Like Taryn, I was unable to eat solid food for over a month due to jaw surgery. Blended food is incredibly unappetizing. You find yourself nauseous at the thought of trying to eat, although you are incredibly hungry. Not eating while taking medicine kills your stomach. When you find something that doesn't disgust you after several days of eating sherbet or ice cream (which basically has no nutritional value at all) you will eat it. Not eating real food with protein and actual nutrients leaves you very weak. I lost a lot of weight and would never wish that on anyone.

I am glad Taryn is finding a few meals that will get her through these next few weeks so that she can stay strong and get right back to working out and cooking actual food when this is over.

Actually it's a 3500 calorie defect to lose 1 lb. I'm sure some of the weight is water too. The last time I had this surgery i lost 17 lbs in one month. Not healthy and not fun.

I am not able to chew at all and it's been difficult to even eat 1000 calories a day. I burn 2000 calories at least every day. Food is really unappetizing when it comes out of a blender which makes it less likely I'll eat a ton, plus I haven't been feeling great. The burrito had 575 calories and that's all I had for breakfast and lunch. If you eat 1500 calories less than you burn, typically you lose a pound. I must have eaten 9000 less calories than I burned, resulting in 6 lbs down in ten days.

Again, I'd never recommend trying this but I am not exaggerating the weight loss. I'm not even happy about it as I'd rather lose weight safely and feel strong instead of gross and cranky.

I"m curious as to how you are losing weight eating like that? Aren't there a ton of calories in that burrito bowl regardless if it is pureed or not? Especially with all of that sour cream?

I don't know...six pounds in ten days is impressive. Plus you get narcotics. Besides the initial excruciating pain, I think you almost have a diet plan ready to publish. Hell, it already makes more sense than the lemonade one.

Just don't publish it with photos. Please.

I thought about it, but after your advice about chicken broth or tomato sauce, I decided sour cream and salsa were the way to go.
