so basically puree is just that...blended food to a puree...or things like...apple sauce, split pea soup, etc. soft food would be like...soft scrambled eggs, cooked oatmeal maybe...food thats not so mushy, but isnt that solid either. its the in between...the transition to solids. they shouldve given you a list of recommended foods. you can also try google and youtube. it helped me a lot, along with this forum. good luck....

@@twittymilk no problem! good luck to her!

you can expect your loss to slow down and your body will begin to maintain. you should still work on your eating, because trust me, u can gain it back. i gained about 8 lbs over a few months, but it began with the holidays. and i was doing less cardio. so just be mindful from here on out. good luck...

the people who gave me the "dont do it", i didnt say anything else to them about it. i let them have their opinion. because i had more people on my side than not. and once i started to trasnform, i let that speak for itself. good luck! you will be A-OK!

we cant do ibuprofen???? uh oh! im on the ring...nuva ring

squats and leg exercises...

i was able to schedule most of my appts within a week. so i knocked em out really fast. i didnt do too much running around. i live in qnz so i chose the gastroenterologist in qnz. but they give u a recommendation of drs that know and work them when you go in for all of the insurance requirements.

yea more or less...or in the vicinity!

i am loving ur icon! i love sunflowers! Hi all' I am getting sleeved on July 17 at Columbia Presyberterian at 168 at in Manhattan. My surgeon is DR. Schrope @nyelaah...im a july sleever too! *high five* whoooooooo!!!

@@twittymilk and the staff is great!

amazing, very thorough. he is head of the department. ny methodist is great too. my sister recommended me to him, and then i recommeded a friend. we're all successful. my sis got rny over 10 yrs ago. still works. and im just about 2 years out...ready for the world! i would definitely recommend him.

As long as ur moving. I hope that the surgery helps to alleviate your spinal issues. Thank you. I'm always a work in progress. My fat gene is always tryna creep up. But it keeps me focused. I'm not going back! Sure you can add me. No problem!

I have to squat for the rest of my life. I didn't have an ass then, and I sure don't have one now lol

I dunno about aaaaanyone else...I still get hungry. I just know how to deal with it. And I will always love food. I just changed my relationship with it. Just a bit. Some things do change after surgery. I couldn't stand to eat rice. I couldn't drink cold water. But now I'm back. I can't eat too much sugar or certain processed foods. Makes me feel sluggish. You will learn what works for you in order to be successful. Best of luck today and on the big day!

Holy moly donut shop! 13 lbs! U go girl! Yea it's been good this far, but I do understand the "never ever again" sentiment! Took me a good while to go through with it!

not necessarily...im not even thirty, and my tits were nice and firm before surgery. and i've got good genes too...i guess i was bigger than i thought and im down to about my hs size. and i can only call them my ol' bitty bags. i hope children will firm them up, but if not, im def going for a lift around 40 yrs old. even tho my bf says i should lift them naturally...i dont think he gets it. lol

lmao this cracked me up!

haha! right?! me too!

they sure will! i make the best of it. lol got my nips pierced

Hi! i dont live in the city, but im from queens. how are u?! i had my surgery July 2013 by dr. gorecki at ny methodist in park slope, brooklyn. what about you?!

lawd! dont rush it. it will come! TRUST ME! at first it may be irregular. your body is getting back to normal. but it will come back with a vengeance! lol just kidding. you'll be ok

Where do i begin? ok...well hey! my name is Jen. I'm one month shy of my 2 year anniversary. I haven't been active on the site in quite sometime. Since i dropped my weight, my life has changed. i'm so busy! always doing something. i'm back today though...shocked that i'm a veteran! i didn't realize. Lately, i've been looking at my progress. i've been able to maintain my weight. i'm staying under my surgeon's recommended goal. however, i still have body fat that i'd like to get rid of. somehow, because my clothes fit nicely, i've managed to slack off. so im back, because i still want to wear a bikini when i go away for my 30th birthday. i need some motivation. i need to know that i can tighten up. So, please, your stories, your pics, your success are(is) greatly appreciated.

???? OMG! 63?! You look like you're in ur late 30s early 40s! I take that back...you look amazeballs!!! Even more inspiration! WOW! ????????
