I have really tried to avoid but we work in small quarters...I really haven't told everyone about my surgery and I am just going to politely let everyone know I'm cutting back on bad food. Thanks for your support thru this. My surgery is July 11 and I have been cutting back but I have also fell off the bandwagon. I hav practically ate everywhere I have always liked one last time and I've made good choices. I am so ready to start this journey out with the old in with the new! For the puréed stage I'm still having trouble with my menu, so far I have chicken salad, tuna, soups, puréed any other ideas? Thanks guys!

Didn't realize how hard it will be around my co workers that eat out almost every day. I said I was gonna test myself only eat what I brought and no more fast food but I keep getting like something small I've said no a few times and I feel great afterward but I am gonna have to seriously deal with this...any help guys!!

Wow y'all look great ladies!!! Like I don't even remember size 12! Can't wait!! I have seen so many people get like super small. Like what I'd u get to a point where u are comfortable and healthy can u stop losing weight??

That's great! I am happy that this is going to help u and also will help me also with blood pressure and being prediabetic. This is a journey all of us have our reasons of why to have this surgery. I wish u much success next week, and a speedy recovery!

Ok I don't kno why I didn't think of that but no dressing right? Or like a vinaigrette

Hi my rny friends! I'm trying to put together a menu for our liver shrink diet. I can drink protein shakes, I'm gonna do smoothies (veggies and fruit), and lean meat with unlimited veggies all day...I don't wanna get bored with same thing every day anyone have ideas. Thanks

Great! Keep us updated!

Congrats!!! I was so happy they approved me too! What insurance do u have? Also if ur only 197 r u doing lapband or gastric? Gastric I thought was if ur at least 100lbs over weight?

Well ask ur dr wat u can do. My dr says nothing strenuous for about 3wks but u can start out walking. Maybe hand weights 5-7lbs working ur arms

Hello! Just ask away! Mine is July also and I've been researching thru YouTube and this site. U will find successful people on YouTube and not so successful too. U almost can see where they messed up and where they are doing good. I feel like sagging skin can be much less if u really workout alot during the first 6 months when u lose the most that is something I've learned. Stick to the excersising but the time where u lose the most is do important.

That was a great idea for chicken or beef broth and ice cube trays(genius) I am def gonna try this! Thanks for the tips!

Kizzy im so happy for u!! My hubby and I are scheduled in June and July so we r tryin to get our minds as well as our bodies ready for the changes. Can any one give me a typical day meal when ur on the puréed diet. I'm having trouble with how much liquid vs puréed food to eat. Plus protein intake....we have to fill out 3 days of eating plan for our puréed diet and I'm so lost. I want to make it different every day so I don't get bored. Has anyone puréed tilapia or like ground turkey(like taco meat) if so was it decent? Thanks I'm so happy I found this place!

Good luck! My date is July 11 and I had the same thought...how will I look skinny!! Got a little freaked out but I'm sure we will look great!! I will pray for you to have a speedy recovery!! New beginnings!!

Thanks!! We r ready! Could anyone tell me how u did on purée diet? If u did it for the full 6wks?

I rny crew! Im so excited found out yesterday and today my hubby and I have our approval for gastric bypass surgery end of jun and early July!! I have already started on excersise and eating better and less so it won't be so hard. Believe me I am getting a round of all my favs(red lobster) one sat run...lol. Our insurance is Cigna and it was quick!

Oh no anjel It's Mel! I sure hope u feel better soon I'm worried for u! Let me know how it goes.
