I watch it!! One time it scanned in a totally different food. LOL

Puree is disgusting. I basically ate fat free refried beans during this stage. I also had grits (I live in the south). I sprinkled unjury over both of them. I moved on to soft foods a week early, but I am NOT telling you to do it. I just could NOT do pureed.

I use my fitness pal too. Love the bar code scanner!!

I was told it was because of the sugar content somewhere along the line. Can anyone else confirm? Hmmm I think I'm wrong though but I already posted sorry!

That is great! I am glad we do. I might still end up going to Goodwill. A friend of mine just lost 100 lbs on her own doing herbal stuff and she is shopping there, she says "I have all the name brands now" LOL

Just throwing it out there.........wouldn't it be nice NOT to have to buy clothes for a temporary stage? If we could just post what size we needed and someone that has "shrunk" out of that size would mail them to you and then you just pay it forward to the next person? No cash.....just people helping others.

Congrats!! Still obese here........ha ha. I just started the journey though! Happy for you.

I had it for a while too and they gave me a medication for ulcers. It was chalky like some of those over the counter medicines. I ended up having an allergic reaction to it, but I was able to take it for two weeks before that happened, but it was long enough for it to fix whatever was wrong. My doctor said it could be an ulcer or just irritation along the suture line.

Take your bottle to the store and compare the ingredients. This lady is correct.

I just know it was not a pleasant two weeks of dieting, but I did follow what my physician told me to do, and yes I did survive it. For those of you who don't have to do it or get easier diets, YAY for you!!!!! But honestly, follow your doctor's wishes because there is logic behind their rules. Oh....BEST OF LUCK!! This is a short two weeks to the NEW YOU!

How are you going to take them post op? I bought liquid vitamins for post op so I wouldn't have to worry about crushing them up. It was Centrum brand. If you are pre op now, I would just get some regular vitamin pills that you take.

I bought some 4 oz and 8 oz containers for just that reason. It makes it easier for me. Being overfull is VERY uncomfortable. I made that mistake a few times and after reading on here, I saw that suggestion. It helps me.

I am 6 weeks out now and I can drink 6-8 oz of shakes, and I can eat about 6 oz of food. I can drink (sip) a pretty good amount too. I have been told by others on here that its too much......I just know how it feels. I do know when I eat to much though. Seems to be a fine line.
