You look amazing! Great inspiration to me. Congrats.

You are transformed! Fantastic!

This picture compares day of surgery and my 2 month mark. Wow! Down 27 pounds in 2 months which makes a loss of 47 pounds total including pre-surgery. I have more to go. But so proud that I'm doing this! Have been at this weight since college, 20 years ago!

Am I the only one who steps on the scale every morning and every night and logs my weight in a journal that sits on the bathroom counter? I'm a visual learner and seeing the numbers helps. I only "officially" count Saturday's weight.

I think it tastes like what baby spit up smells like. Does that make sense? It's the protein smell. I have to disguise it in my shake with spinach and SF syrup. It grosses me out. But I don't want to let a whole tub of it go to waste.

Awesome ideas. Are the steak strips in the frozen section?

I was sleeved on 1/28 also. I'm not gaining weight but I haven't lost in almost 2 weeks. My carbs are low and protein is high. Calories are 600-800 daily. It's frustrating but part of the process, I understand. What are your calories? Do you ladies use my fitness pal to track? We have to stick together.

You are very welcome! I really enjoy mine & its easy to clean. It took a few tries to get the hang of pushing the veggie handle with one hand and cranking the handle with the other. But now I'm a wiz! Hope you enjoy it too!

It works great! I used in during pre-op to lose weight. I intend to use it again once I introduce veggies again. Great kitchen tool.

Hi guys, all I can say that after liquids & purees, that the sashimi was magical! It felt so good to be out! Thanks everyone!

Today is my 1 month surgiversary. I am SO excited to go out to eat & spend some time with my sister. It's been over a month since I've been to a restaurant. That's unusual for me. So, we are hitting my favorite Japanese restaurant. I used to order sushi rolls or stir-fry dishes pre-surgery. Tonight I plan on ordering sashimi because it doesn't have any rice or possibly some tuna takaki. Any thoughts or experiences with sashimi?

I love my Ninja with the travel cups. I also am starting to think I will need a toaster oven soon. My meals I make are very small, so it makes sense to use one instead of firing up the big oven.
