Mad... Upset...down Right Bored
Lentils are great puréed! I liked split pea and ham. I also did ground turkey and mushrooms with double protein milk. Add hot sauce! Everything taste better with it! Also cook cauliflower add hidden valley ranch dry mix, milk, pepper and a small 1/2 teaspoon or less of chicken stock. Purée it and it taste amazing!! My 7 yr old ate it thinking they were mashed potatoes! Good luck!

I Can't Make Up My Mind! Sleeve Or Band :-/
I had the Sleeve 6 days ago and I am so HAPPY that I did!! I had no complications and I am able to drink and eat "mushy" food fine. My uncle had the band and he gets sick ALL the time. THey either fill it too much or not enough. I have lost 8 lbs in 7 days. I started at 296 and now down to 276. I lost some before surgery. Good luck!!

Andrew Lessman - Vitamin Help!
I orders some from supplement warehouse. They are by twinlab baristric support chewable multi berry flavor. I also got one for calcium. I really like them and they are very easy to chew and swallow! I also order all my protein shakes from there, they have good prices. The shakes that is for bariatric patients is gross!! Really thick and not great tasting so I stick with muscle milk lite and isopure! Good luck

If You're Worried About Telling People....
I have told everyone! My support is amazing!! I work in a dr.'s office (ortho) and my dr.'s have sent me text came to the hospital to see me. I did not want anyone thinking I was sick or was dying. If I ever get negative feedback then I don't need that person. My dad actually told me he thought I should just diet more....i put him in his place saying he is very obese as well. I love that my friends, neighbors, co-workers, my patients and family know. I think it's too much on people's shoulders trying to figure out what to tell people! It is not normal to lose 8 lbs a week unless you have had surgery. I am down 8 lbs and I am only 6 days out. I had to fill out a form at work this AM and everyone was complimenting me on how great I look an they could tell I lost already! What a HUGE confidence builder that was! Again just my experience so it is up to everyone, but I am so happy with my choice!

Fruit Juices: Right Choice?
I was allowed to have 1/2 Water 1/2 apple juice in the hospital. I also think juice has so many calories and high in sugar and not super filling so the tend to not want us to drink it. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using SPT
