You are doing amazing....keep up the great work!

As hard as it was to hear, appreciate the fact that the Dr.s are doin what is best for you so are not sick after. You will be happier because your success will be better, it will also make you appreciate the outcome in the end. But till then sending big HUGS your way!

Yes food smells great..but knowing that I cant have it well that is ok...Remember skinny feels better than vomiting after eating something that our stomachs cant handle....(had to put a spin on it) LOL

A girl after my own heart! I went to Olive Garden for one of my last meals too...I had Chicken Alfredo, Chicken Gnochi soup, and some bread sticks....I enjoyed every second of it!

We can always look back at what we allowed up to do with ourselves...but it is nice to see where we have come from since all that!

O yes...each day you realize you can do just a little more than the previous day! Surprises each day!

Good luck! My recovery was very sore...but dont worry things get better with each passing day! I am two weeks post op today and gonna take my kids out walking. You will be up and moving in no time...just take one day at a time.

Wow...sorry to hear that...I have been working on a can of refried beans for a couple of days...I did have some cottage cheese for lunch just now...I dont know what I wouldnt know what to do if I felt sick..been lucky so far.

You are doin great! Keep up the great work! Love seeing people b4 and after pics

That is amazing! Congrats! Plus you are soo close to your goal weight....keep up the great work!

Not sure if you are taking any vitamins yet...but you may want to start your B vitamins now for added engery and brain sharpness...

Congrats....I know it is amazing how fast it comes off and you dont see it yet but your clothes will start showing it!

I havent tried it yet... but bought one of the hormel meats that have gravy...bought the pork and gravy....I am gonna have that for dinner tomorrow pureed. I thought this would be perfect cuz it has the it is precooked and have plenty of gravy to use in the puree process....

I have to say I was total opposite...I told my family and a couple of my closest friends...I was afraid at first but I wanted the support of my family. The only person that I had an issue with was my brothers wife (she is a know it all nursing students). We dont even know each other, so I just blew her off...But everyone in my family was very supportive and now both my parents are thinking of doin it too.

Went to see the surgeon today and got to say it was a good visit. All my holes are healing well...and the best part of it all is I am down 19 lbs....yeah...so get to continue my puree diet for 3 weeks and get to go back and visit with the Dr. in 4 weeks....lovin my sleeve!

Congrats...You really look amazing....keep it up...soon you will be in onederland....

That is such great news....Keep moving foward and and downward...the next scale weight will be wonderland....awesome!

Today I am 11 days post op and just enjoyed my 1st pureed meal....I chose bland because everyone kept warning me bout spicy...so I opened a can of chicken breast and a can of cream of chicken Soup and put a table spoon of each in my bullet and pureed and then heated it up...ate bout 2/3 of it and it tasted good. What were some of your 1st pureed foods?

Well...The fact is we were all FAT. I can say for myself...I come from many generations of OBESE family members. One thing to remember on here is that none of us know each other personaly. It is only normal to assume you had some bad habits. I know that I did...there were foods that I didnt enjoy very often so when I did have them I would over induldge...but at the same time you would find me at the gym several times a week for the past several years. For me the more that I worked out the more I gained. So the best thing to realize is these people dont know you and they are only giving you information based on what they know to best answer the questions you have...if you dont like what they say just dont take their advice. We are all here to learn and hopefully encourage...all our drs. give us different guidlines.

O dont you worry bout that, you will have plenty of pain meds that you wont have to worry bout menstral cramps...you will have enough other pain and soreness that your period wont be an issue at all!

Congrats...Your pics look amazing

Congrats to both of you are your post op success...Each person is different..if you have more to lose than I have to lose you will lose alot more in a shorter amount of time. I am 10 days post op and down 16 lbs and happy with that.

I think you will begin to notice a difference when you start to have thicker liquids...if you....I cant say that I have felt full but I have signs of fullness like I start to do little burps/hiccups and I know to stop, based on group meetings

Not sure what the book can really tell ya, but I will tell you this much...everything you are gonna need to know you will find out from your surgeon, nut, and support groups if you have one in your area, and this forum...dont waste your money
