My surgery is tmr in arlington, va and I've come to that scary realization as well. I still plan to cook as my husband does not, or rather, I don't want him too, lol. I love to go out to different restaurants, try different recipes at home, etc. so realizing that life will seriously change scares me a bit but i'm ready for the challenge.

Tmr, the 29th is my lapband surgery but I remember my nutritionist saying mashed potatoes with gravy is ok in the pureed stage as well.

I had no real issues other than having a BMI of 42 and was approved instantly based on my BMI alone. Min BMI is 40 for insurance approval so I literally could not loose any weight prior to my pre-op appt. My initial weigh in was 255 so you should be fine.

I am on day 4 of my 7 day pre-op liquid diet and not doing well at all. How mandatory is the 7 day liquid diet? I have drastically reducing the amount of solid foods. I'm doing liquid protein with my coffee in the morning, Chicken Noodle soup for dinner, but have been eating campbell's tomato soup and a tuna sandwich with it for lunch. I get very dizzy when I do not eat a solid meal. I have really bad hunger pains that gives me chest pains when I do not eat. Replacing two meals I've found is easier but I must have something solid once a day. Is my surgery in jeoperdy?
