  1. Thanks everyone. I would like to make homeade and on the go buy canned. Any good recipes? I plan to blend mine with an emulsifier. Blender will do
  2. My directions from Dr is creamy Soups purred and strained at this stage. Creamy chicken as an example. That is. I am on progressive Soup website and so many of the soups look great. I know not to do Pasta or rice. What about chicken and veggies. Purify them and strain them. Is this okay?
  3. Endless80, there is nothing wrong with that question. I am post sleeve 5 days and I think everyday. Oh I hope I can have that one day. Not that I want to eat poorly or go back to what I once ate but I am Human. Clearly I acknowledge that I needed help. I went through a tough 5 days in MX to have irreversable surgery so that I can change my life style, eat healthier, make better choices and loose weight. That does not mean I am dead!!!!! I dislike when people slam Others for wanting a carb now and again or sandwich. I doubt too many spent the time money and effort to go through this to only eat what we once did
  4. Great. Thanks so much!! I want to be able to drink and eventually eat. I just don't want to spring a leak
  5. I traveled home from TJ today. Surprisingly everything was fine. In the hospital and hotel I was hesitant drink fluids because I wanted to lay down. Since I was on a 5 hour flight sitting up I had 16 oz of apple juice (still need a BM). Then I had 8 oz Water Came home and had 1 cup almond sugar free almond milk with sugar free carnation Breakfast. I had this within 30 minutes. Then I was craving chicken broth. I strained Campbell's chicken noodle and drank that. ( about 3/4 cups) Everything went down fine. No pain. Should I be worried I am Drinking too much to soon

  16. What to bring? Calling cell phone service AT&T to get on international package. Gas strips Neosporin Eye mask Tread sox They have Internet? Does everyone bring a suitcase. I am traveling alone and worry about the lifting restrictions after surgery
  17. I am having my surgery next week and the only people who know are my Mother and my very good friend who I work with. I only told h because of work. I don't want negativity and opinions. All my friends are either skinny or normal size. They don't get it. I am Going to Mexico and I can't even imagine what I would hear about that. I do hate lying though. It is clear that I have struggled and when I loose wight I Hate the thought of taking full ownership when I did have help. I will decide if I tell anyone after. And I feel tell one tell all because most people have a big mouth.
