I do not have to purée, just soft foods tuna, crab, chicken salad and chew very well. I am glad, the purée stage does not sound appealing.

IMy doc provided my tummy belt, and i have to admit it has been great. The belt provides the support I need to curb the pain on my left side & lower back. I was sleeved 8/12 and have had the belt on everyday since. I'm able to sleep without it. I'm not sure how much longer I should expect to wear it.

I eat fudgecicles, I've had a bite of cake, I've had a bite of this and that. Not going to deprive myself. I'm good with a taste.....The thing about the sleeve, you can only eat so much...and you eat the Proteins and vegies first....doesn't leave room for anything but a taste...

hahaha I dont get sleeved till next month, ILL TAKE IT!

I'm with you Italiancurves. Purred meat sounds totally disgusting to me. I'll probably skip that as well. But who knows after all the liquids it may be delish…nah.

Omg I finally got a date after so many things that stood in my way. Its finally coming. September 19th cant come fast enough.

I can see the 30 lb loss in my face! 1 month PO

I have two kids.....wishing I could do more with them. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I use to tell myself, "I'm chunky but healthy!" "I'm not going to be one of those people that counts calories and eats like a bird. I'm gonna eat what I want, when I want!" But what I didn't see was that I was not living. I was not enjoying life and all it offers.....especially being more active with my kids. My BMI is not as high as others.....it's 37.5. And I had a few people say, "you're not fat! You don't need surgery!" But when you've tried everything and its been a daily struggle ever since you can remember and it interferes with your life as a mother........you do need it! You need it for YOU! For your kids! To live longer, live healthier! I'm very happy to say that I began this journey 2 months ago and just this past week, I was approved for surgery! It still feels surreal. I'm scheduled for September 20th. I'm blessed to have supportive people in my life. Very happy I found this forum.

I am September 19th. Come on September.

I am scheduled for September 19 in Tijuana at Mi Doctor. Staying at the Mariott. My doctor is Louisiana Valenzuela. It would be great to meet anyone else who will be there. I have a liquid diet 2 weeks prior, Clear Liquids 3 days before.

Yay I will meet you there

Yes I did a six month program and 3 month food specialist. It was long long long. Now I am ready for surgery.

Do you have a program you have to work 1st or no. And thank you

What the hell kind of synthetic drug do you make with a cheese grater and strainer.

I'm addicted to breads and sugars mostly avoid them post surgery.....but I have my slips. Its ok don't be afraid, be proactive avoid and keep it out of the house. Good luck.

Unless you build a city in the trees...the zombies can have the ground and you live up high in trees. I have obviously given this too much thought....

It was I just finished watching it! I love Michonne
