1st puree food was Carrot w a bit of parsley, 2nd carrot, parsley, sweet potatoe, 3rd carrot, parsley, sweet potatoe and diluted w bone broth, next time I added a bit of beef and so on. I added something new every 2 days to look out for things that might not agree w me. It has been working for me so far. Sent from my BLA-L29 using BariatricPal mobile app

So I just started my soft foods phase two days ago, so far so good....and then... Last night, I had a waaaay too realistic dream (nightmare!) that I woke up to the smell of pizza, and next thing I knew I had eaten two slices of supreme-everything-on-it pizza, then suddenly it dawned on me - just as I was eating the last bite - that I had just had my WLS! I felt horrified that I had actually forgotten! I panicked, felt sheer terror, was freaking out, crying, hysterical, the works! It was legit terrifying but when I woke up and realized it was just a nightmare, I felt so relieved, and then I burst out laughing because holy crap my nightmare wasn't about monsters or the usual scary stuff - but ABOUT PIZZA. 😂 Has anyone else had any "oops forgot I had WLS surgery and just ate something I shouldn't" dreams? Maybe it's just me and I'm a total weirdo, but still, I'm laughing about it at least, lol. 😆

.... I feel terrible that I feel this way but I’m struggling every day to be positive & proactive with my health etc. We love each other & will always be there for each other . Im just feeling a need to be around people that are like minded. It’s soo difficult when we change & grow because it does affect our relationships. Makes me sad I can really relate to this. One of my very best friends discourages me from losing weight. She has so, so many very serious health issues that are related to smoking, diabetes , high blood pressure, peripheral arterial disease etc. All of her friends have come to help her when she is hospitalized. She is one reason I am so driven to get my weight down to a normal, healthy BMI. She almost lost her feet last year. Still, she started smoking again, does not follow a diabetic diet, just does not take care of herself. She is beautiful, inside and out. Very caring and kind. I just have to distance myself a bit, because I need to spend more time developing relationships with friends who are on the same, healthy, journey. I will always be her friend, but I can not derail my plan in order to help her with her chronic illness. Not when she refuses to change. I can't watch her self destruct.

It truly is a strange world. I had breakfast with my mom today and she told me my boobs had gotten too small and I should do something to lift them up! Really?????? Hers sink to her waist! I told her I was 63 years old and I could wear my boobs anywhere I wanted. (With a smile, of course.) (My boobs are just fine with a new, well fitting bra. I really don't know what she is talking about!) I also told her it was getting tiresome to be asked about my weight loss all the time. and that how strange it is that no one talked about my weight when I was heavy, but now my personal weight loss seems to be everyone else's business! ( I am also getting the comments and advice to not keep losing and "you are too skinny.") What a strange, nervy world!

Thanks, FluffyChix! I do appreciate your affirmation! I saw a comment in another post that said something like..."I appreciate your concern, but my doctor says I'm healthy. " i will be using that line!! 125 here I come!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

As we change our friendships and relationships change. It is a great time for growth but change is scary. Be positive be yourself be real - your friendship will adjust and possibly get even better

I don't know if it's a jealously thing but I think people meet you at a certain size, hair a certain color or length, married or single etc and if then don't see you for a long time or you had a sudden change it seems "wrong". I have felt that way seeing a once married friend and the next time I saw her she was dating a new person, lost weight, had a hair cut. It was a shock to her as someone different than I was used to.

This is sooo good! I’m in my puree phase and found this to be so refreshing.
