I am also into the purieed stage. I deskinned and dissected a rottiserie chicken. Put in blender with refried Beans chicken broth and garlic powder. It is very good. I added some shredded cheese and nuked to get cheese melted. I may have added a bit too much of the beans but with a little work it will be even better.

Look at the benefits. Oh yeah. I will be 47 years young end of July!! Good luck on your journey!! It us a great journey to be on!!

I am a huge advocate of swimming. The resistance is so much more in the pool. And is much easier on joints and body. I do an hour a day 5- tines a week. I do 80-100 pull ups on the diving block. I try to walk 3-4 miles a day. I do work in some weight lifting when time allows and shoulders aren't too sore. 6 months post op. I have lost 155 lbs. For a total of 220 lbs gone pre and post op. Every WLS program has different plans. I believe if your body can handle it do what is good for you.
