Me tooo....not sobbing, but tried a teensy weensy bit of pureed egg and OMG.....what a freaking nightmare! Six hours later, I'm still suffering :-( Shelby

160-200 per day....Felipe doesn't allow much....seeing surgeon next week. Shel

I'd just like to chime in about pureed meat.....i am a huge meat lover......i pureed everything from split pea Soup to tuna....it was all disgusting and i just wasn't having it..... But.....i decided to get a rotisserie chicken and puree it with the skin and the juice.....it is FABULOUS!!!!!!! I felt not only human but orgasmic, because it tastes exactly like i bit it off the bone!!!!! This is currently the ONLY pureed food i eat.....i want to try eggs, but im scared... Shelby

I was completely gone for two weeks...the third week I worked from home, writing contracts....1/2 time...this week i was back full time...glad I took my time... Shelby

Im down 29 lbs from surgery...just returned to work this week...everyone noticed...i went from a size 20 to a size 16....but im 5'8.... Shelby

Very nice transformation, regardless of extra skin. Shelby

Holy Cr@p! You are absolutely beautiful! Shelby

I was busted down with my sleevie "Felipe" on 12/17/2013......I have real love for her but we have our moments...dealing with new tummy is like dealing with a cross between a preteen and over excited puppy... She wants things her way, every day, all the time...until i have to swat her with the newspaper and tell her to "knock-it-off." (Eyeroll) The good: Down a whopping 29 lbs in 32 days.... The bad: not hitting liquid goals yet The tolerable: bring extremely careful with food...no cheating...on pureed....eating only pureed chicken The awesome: working out Everyday!!! The ugly: not meeting Protein or calorie goals...averaging 130 to 200 calories a day.... Just a work in progress....trying to see if Felipe will tolerate my chewable Multivitamin.....(sigh) Shelby

Ditto.... Shel

This is excellent advice Nate....very accurate and concise..... Shelby

Silly question...but you don't think its being caused by anything else? The random nature seems a bit odd... Have you made any changes to medicine, routines or exposure that could lend itself to this type of reaction? Im really sorry and concerned to hear this...is your doc the only one in the practice? I would think they would want you seen immediately... Shel

Great spirit..wonderful! Shel

You are doing fantastic! Shel

Thats a huge win.....congrats lady :-) Shel

I think they taste like death.....do you do anything to change the taste? This would be a great option for me if i could remotely stand the flavor.... Help....im struggling with fluids and protein.... Shel

Nesa, that does not sound good....any chance you are dehydrated or constipated? How much Fluid are you getting in honey? Call your med team asap.... Shel

Yay another sleeve with a name....mine is Felipe (female tho). :-) Shelby

You look fantastic!!! Love the dress and the Mercedes as well....I'm a Volvo girl for life but who's looking? Haha! Wonderful Job! Shelby

I I don't agree that just because you're on the path to better health and weight loss that you can't enjoy food .....food is not going away and it is something that we have to contemplate every time we open our mouths.....we have social events, family events, religious events and we need to be able to work with it and through it .... We are overweight because we like food and want to make healthier choices so we need a way to find how to make healthier choices out of what we enjoy....I see no problem with this..... Shelby

Thats what I want back in my life....eggs!!!!! Me too!!!! Shelby

On the full liquid phase ......took some smoked Beans and bacon Soup .......puréed it .......strained it and just drink the juice ....truly felt like pure bliss....got some sugar-free vanilla pudding and warmed it in the microwave.....Felipe thought that she was in a brand-new world ....just had to share! I have been off of food for so long...anything other than sugar-free drinks and Protein shakes seems like pure bliss..... Its good for me....gives me a real appreciation for food and for Felipe my sleevy-weevy :-) Sheldon

4 days for scaredy cat here..... Shelby

This is where I turn into a silly teenager.....Yep I want "high school skinny"..I know it's horrible....I know I'm too old for that......I know it's not appropriate....it is what it is .....am 5'8 and petite.....Yep 118lbs......I can dream right? If i get to 135-140lbs....i'll live......very happily i might add...lol.. Shelby

Worked like a charm surprisingly and didn't have any problems.... Shelby

Totally agree totally!!!! I know I discussed fiber supplements with my surgeon and he specifically told me not to do fiber gummies and I'm not allowed to go back on Vitamins until i see him at my one month post op.... I really have to keep Felipe happy so I'm very nervous about starting the fiber..... Shelby
