Thanks Guys!

Thanks Kelly. I am a bigger girl...i am just worried and want the best results...but this does make sense

yup!

day 3 of purees...i am meticulous about measuring my food...its 4ozs each time. i eat very slow...it takes at least a half hour but more like 45 mins to eat, and i chew at least 20 times....but I finish each time. a lot of u on here say u are full after a few bites....am I overdoing it?

Tex Mex is one of my faves so today on day 3 of mushies i mixed refried Beans, a tablespoon of greek yogurt and some cheese 4ozs of pure HEAVEN

As for work, I only told my immediate circle, and the RN who is super cool. None of the docs know, or my supervisor etc...i am sure they will figure it out. But at this point I don't think it's their business. it was hectic because I did it at the hospital where I work...but i was able to get in and out unseen

i told my friends one at a time...starting with my friends who already had WLS...i wanted their input, and confirmation that they had no regrets...my friends were ALL supportive. There were some who were apprehensive but supportive nonetheless. My family was a little more difficult...my family who work in healthcare, were easier. The most difficult were my parents. My dad TOTALLY supported to me. My mom cried when I first told her....she tried to change my mind each step of the way. I was sleeved on 4/11 and I guess after doing her own research and realizing that I wasn't going to budge, she finally started supporting me and actually stayed with me a few days after surgery. My friends and family were and enormous support and still are. I couldn't imagine doing this alone.

i started purees yesterday and I measure everything to a tee...i am very afraid of throwing up lol...try sticking specifically to 4oz until u learn your sleeve.

Oh no! Will definitely keep you in my prayers

b-Scrambled egg w/cheese L-Tuna salad D-Protein shake??? need to get in more protein its my first day of mushies

so for the first day of mushies i had scrambled eggs with cheese, and i had a tuna salad which i finished about an hr ago....i wanted to have a shake just to get my Protein to 60g....I will see how I feel at aroudn 930...this is hard...not to mention getting in my Water...i have had about 20oz of liquids...working on 12 right now but good news i didnt barf

good job. It is tempting but the end result will be well worth it!

Welcome MsPammy!

looking fab! and so glad they were able to find out what was wrong, and everything turned out positively. Keep up the great work!

love it!

love this answer! and no i havent cheated...this is my first day of mushies...so too soon to cheat but visions of cadbury chocolate or a reeses egg dancing in my head

Sooooooo after being on liquids 2 weeks pre op and 2 weeks post op I am on PUREES I am now having scrambled eggs with cheese. I am petrified that I will botch this up, I am eating slower than my one year old godbaby but I am ecstatic I just want to wish everyone Thanks for always being a wealth of knowledge and a great support. Enjoy whatever you do or eat

yay!!! Congrats i cant wait to get there *sighs*

i dont have a goal outfit...that seems too far ahead for me. But my mom bought a size 18 summer dress that was too big for her and we are hoping that I can wear it this summer

currently I am single...but while i think losing weight will open up a new pool of men, I am totally nervous.... the prospect of having sex with someone new with loose skin petrifies me Has anyone had to tackle that? It seems most of u are luckily married

kudos on your success thus far!
