The nutribullet rx helped me through the purée stage I got it at bed bath and beyond [emoji6]

I would recommend not eating baby food meats. Honestly you will probably throw up. If you have the time. Make chicken and purée it in chicken broth. Or strain soup and add chicken and blend it in blender. Tastes like it should unlike the baby food. Sleeved 9/6/16 starting w: 267. Surgery date w. 233. Current w: 163.

Today was my first day lifting weights.Did chest and tris at about 2/3 my old weight.Keep in mind I wasn't power lifting doing lighter weight with higher reps.It felt amazing.Ive been at the gym since dayb1 but only on a treadmill.My diet it mostly high protein with minimal carbs (oatmeal,fruit) I be ad a couple small bites of bread,pasta but I am still consuming yogurt and protein shakes.Peanut butter has been a huge help and I started eating turkey lunch meat with a small piece of string cheese.This new journey is amazing it feels great never being stuffed.I sleep all night,I used to wake up to Pee at least 4 times a night and i also don't snore anymore.My energy is way way up.Ibaas having leg numbness issues but that is slowly improving.As of today my only issue is slight constipation from high protein diet but Metamucil nightly with another stool softener is helping a lot.I hope you all are doing well on your journeys.My results/reaction or whatever you want to call it are working for me.Find your groove and be patient.

Well I'm on my way for an EGD...the test alone is not scary but what my Dr might decide. This is revisional for me band to sleeve. I had the band 2007 lost about 85 pounds but went through some traumatic times in a short period of time. Was married to an abuser I had lost a good amount in a short time got pregnant with twins was punched hard multiple times in the stomach lost one baby to a miscarriage and then the other to etopic pregnancy...father diagnosed with cancer died 6 months later. Fractured my arm near my elbow but husband wouldn't let me go to the hospital till it already started healing....by February 2008 he went to jail and I got to rebuild my life...took a couple times of homelessness and unemployed to be where I am.....in a much better place...the band had me over restricted so much so that I had it removed in 2010. Unfortunately I gained all my weight back... my whole point is that the dr is hesitating if it has been eroded...I just need prayers...I need a do over...I've suffered relentlessly and Ive been researching and I'm ready and wanting to do this for the right reasons....please pray that he will see the possibilities of doing this surgery....thank you for listening....

May 22 here but I'll be following your progress. Best of luck

That's confusing....what is an 8oz meal? 8oz is about a cup of food....but what type? I would call the nutritionist to get clarification. Good luck.

looks like it says meal and not meat. I was thinking on another page it gave u healthy meal options.

Yes... what a process. I've been at this since November, and I think it's Been the longest 6 months of my life!

I thought I was doing really well because I have done all my pre-surgery requirements so far with no problem. All I have left is my final pre-op surgery consult (coming up Tuesday, January 17th) and to do my liver shrinking diet until the day before surgery. (I started the diet yesterday, and have 11 more days of it to go). The diet is supposed to help battle hunger by having me ingest something every 3 hours from 730-730 every day. But I find that I'm already struggling on day 2 of the diet... I'm still responsible for cooking for my family every night, and for feeding my eight year old all day on the weekends when he has no school... and i never noticed before, but OMG... TV is FILLED with shows and commercials about food and eating!! So all this food is in my face while all I am allowed myself is to drink disgusting Protein shakes or eat absolutely gross Protein Bars 4 x a day and only get one (VERY small) frozen lean cuisine meal a day myself. I have done everything I can to make this easier on myself and to make sure I can truly get healthy... I quit smoking in November (I was a pack a day smoker for over 20 years)... I quit drinking Mt Dew in December (I easily drank a 6 pack or more daily of cans of Mt Dew for many years as well)... but I'm really struggling to make this final change. All I can think about is FOOD!! I have no hobbies I care to indulge in... I'm disabled and retired with just a small, at-home, freelance side-job so I don't have much work to distract me... and honestly, I have no desire and very little ability to be more active at the moment... and it seems like everything I want to read is full of feasts and meals and food descriptions detailed enough to make me drool... so of course, the head hunger is driving me INSANE!! For the first time since I began my journey, I am sincerely struggling. I am literally questioning whether being healthy a few months or years down the road is worth spending all that time wishing I could eat the things I love and being unable to eat anything that appeals to me. How has everyone else handled this? Am I the only one struggling this much? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App
