Hey!! I am about to start the pursed stage ....can I get some good recipes please??? I need help:-) Thanks

They are very horrible!! Do you know what fiber I can have at this stage? I just recently started keeping track of inches...havent remeasured in a few days. Hopefully I will see results when I do:-) Thaks for the advice! I wish you continued success on your journey!!

Hello. I've been on here a few times and I REALLY enjoy reading everyones stories...so here's mine.... I have been overweight for the majority of my life. Three beautiful children added even more weight which was so hard to lose. I've tried diet after diet...pills ...everything. I would lose a little weight here and there then gain it right back. Recently I began looking into info. on the gastric sleeve. My PCP said I was a good candidate considering my history and my not so good family history. Eventually I started the 3 months of classes that Kaiser requires and completed them. Next was my consult with the surgeon. He put me on the 3week liquid diet and I lost the 10 lbs required.It was tough going through that phase! Finally the surgery date arrived...Nov. 27th 2012. Everything went well. They removed my gallbladder and repaired a hernia that was found. Hospital stay was rough...had horrible spasms in my chest ..but I was released the following day. Recouperating at home was a lot comfortable. The muscle spasms continued for a little over a week or so. Thank God they are gone!! Nausea has now kicked in which I take medication for. I am hoping it subsides soon!! It's been 19days since my surgery. Between the pre op diet and now I've lost 19 lbs. Happy about that even though I was hoping to of lost more...I'm now at the dreaded stall and haven't lost anymore weight in over a week and I'm really frusterated! Staying focused though! Ive come to far and refuse to give up. Hope you enjoyed my story as much as I enjoy all of yours. Add me as a friend if you'd like. I'd love to talk to you ...share encouraging words...advice...anything!!

Good one!!! Lol

No...I don't want any distress!! Thanks for the advice:-)

I am almost 3 weeks post op and I am so tempted to nibble here and there on "regular" food. I'm still on the full liquid diet. I'm wondering would this stretch out my stomach by nibbling on that stuff??

Thanks! I am going to start pursed good next week. I do get all my protein and all I drink is water. I have started the walking too. Glad to know it's not just me lol. I can't wait to start losing again. Thanks for the info.

Hi Nikki I had my surgery on 11/27. I'm in Ca. And my insurance covered the entire surgery. Did it cover yours?? How are you doing now that you had the surgery?
