correct unjury is online only, not sold in stores.

pureed mashed potatoes most definitely, on the wetter side with some gravy yum, but real solids, we stopped off on the way home from the nutritionist who gave me the ok to go ahead, at an indian restaurant and i had some chicken tika masala, moist small chunks of tasty chicken in a sauce. was like being in heaven..i assume.

ill agree with the nutritionists in that one we dont know what the paleolithic mans det really was, we have guesses but i suspect they ate a lot more fruit and natural sugars than i will ever allow myself, but ill say this also i know you dont eat red meat and i truly believe red meat was a staple of paleo man, probably a lot more as they probably ate meat when they had it until they could eat no more to fend off the dry spells and harsh winters etc. But on a personal note, whatever works for each person is the best for them. But best for me is not best for you and vice versa.

WATCHING THIS IS VERY VERY PAINFUL, I IM SCARED WATCHING IT...

i love the Johnsonville pre-cooked turkey sausage links, just great for those mornings when i just dont have time to do fully cooked sausages, or for a quick dinner with some whipped pureed cauliflower and a few tablespoons of gravy, yum.

by the way its an inch every 30 pound, at least thats the accepted measurement. lol and ill say this the first time i was lyin in bed and woke up in the morning with that morning..um stiffness shall we say, and i kinda looked and saw it staring back at me...i almost cried. it doesnt make much sense to you ladies but it sure hit me like a ton of bricks.

there are several of us ma/nh people on here, youll see them. im in mass, sleeved december of last year, loving life and living it for once. keep up the journey, its sooo worth it!

good advice all.

a lot will depend on you personally, for example there are a lot of Protein pancake mixes out there, and if your to the point where your running a couple miles or working out heavily shortly thereafter, then you may need those minimal carbs and can sustain burning them along with your diet. But in my case, no way Jose. the closest i have come is half of a half a piece of toast with an egg one morning, or a bite of homefries i had one-day that's about it. other than that strictly Proteins. In my maintenance stages sure it might be entirely possible to have some kind of natural Kashi like cereal i suppose, oh i actually used to allow myself 1/4 cup of regular cheerios for breakfast, but now maybe once a month if that. in the summer i can see doing that more as a cold breakfast seems better. But I know if i had a waffle, even the best multigrain etc waffle on the market is not good for you, i would probably stop my weight loss temporarily for a few days and im not doing this whole thing for fun lol Good luck.

im a little concerned you dont have Iron in your Vitamin regimen, and i know with my surgeon and nutritionist, Fiber additives were a big no no until the solid food stage. but you will get labs back relatively soon.

Lets see, I was an Emt then medic for 11 years, I went back to school recently to get my paralegal degree, I was valedictorian of my college graduating class. I work now in Tech Support, I was a mobile DJ for a few years doing weddings etc. I stopped due to being out of shape etc. I sing opera, but havent for awhile. I took up guitar lessons recently and really enjoy playing guitar, and I hold belts in Shaolin Kempo Karate and Tae Kwon Do. My wife just recently bought me an early anniversary/ congrats for losing 100 pounds present , which is this awesome guitar. She named it Sylvia, ( since its silver etc.)

as a response here 1 oz of corn is about what i have , and as seen here is 5 carbs, well 5.39 but heck thats close enough. https://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/corn-raw?portionid=183725&portionamount=1.000

i was in the Vitamin shoppe the moment they first arrived and im a chip freak! i was sooo happy i bought each flavor went home to watch football with some chips, I was in heaven... Which turned quickly to being in hell...it looks like a chip, sounds like a chip, tastes like carboard mixed with ass. oh my, i do not think you couldve made something taste worse unless you ate those chips threw them up and tried to eat that. i was heartbroken and out the 12 bucks as well. sigh Now literally if i try anything i compare them to those chips, " well its not as bad as those Protein chips..". etc. I personally at trader joes they sell an edamame rice mini chip that is amazing with hummus ( which are two things i thought i would never eat in my life if you had asked a year ago) also my local supermarket has these chickpea chips they have some protin which is nice and very low carbs for quite a lot more chips than i could fit with my sleeve lol, but like 6 to 8 chips with some fresh pico salsa is just heavenly , heres a link. http://www.vitacost.com/maya-kaimal-chickpea-chips-seeded-multigrain-4-5-oz-1?csrc=GPF-PA-Food%20%26%20Beverages-853325005010&ci_gpa=pla&ci_kw=&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=853325005010&gclid=CJO838mWwcQCFUkR7AodYD4AYw

you summed up the way I feel in a nutshell. it is why i give people my blog info etc. i don't say hey this is for you, or anything i just say hey check out my blog , in the hopes that maybe the idea will rub off on them. I see very large men and women and think," please, save yourself...get the help you need, don't wait like I did, don't fall into those traps. " The other problem is I am a big proponent against government intrusion in behavior , and as such I am wholeheartedly against the new mandates for school lunches for example. I really believe that the more you deny food to kids you will encourage them to have it. It is a personal thing for sure. For me, growing up, my dad ran the household, and he hid and locked up food, not everyday items, but anything dessert-like, and as such because you had to get past this food hoarding thing, you always wanted the forbidden fruit so to speak, and I know it played a big part in why i ate the way I did and in influencing me to be how I was. I do believe that good nutrition at a young age should involve all foods, good , bad etc. as long as its not slanted too much on either side. I truly believe that if you teach a child to eat in a balanced way, they can and wil be prepared to keep that balance in thier life. Im as much against the obese kids being fed the way they are, as I am against the mothers or parents i should say, that deny their kids everything in the name of nutrition.Also exercise among kids is just nonexistent. Kids spend way too much time playing video games of sports, rather than playing the sports themselves. Girls ar spending so much time texting and using thier phones, they could care less about moving around, and with schools above elementary ( whin my state at least) having done away with recess for all students above elementary, its no wonder.

20 grams of sugar? holy s*it thats a candy bar. if youre trying to lose weight how about sugar free please. unless you're trying to gain weight. Oh by the way do what your doctor says not what anyone else says. some doctors dont have issues with liver being in the way they just add another hole and do it that way. let your surgeon be your guide. good luck. you will do fine.

jeez lots of pills here lol. i take multivitamin twice a day with Iron, calcium chew twice a day, and Vitamin d once a week. thats it. My labs are perfect. between vitamin Water which loads you up on b Vitamins, and or an energy shot ( not 5 hour those are sooo expensive) i get plenty of extra vitamins and minerals elsewhere.

lets see tonight is deconstructed stuffed cabbage (love it barely 1 carb) tuesday, very lightly panko encrusted chicken tenders with a side of diced carrots. (6 carbs i can do that) wed-Ham slice 4 oz portion, with side of green Beans (3 carbs) thursday marinated chicken tips with side of corn (5 carbs) Friday food shopping night, probably be chopped sirloin ( aka hamburger patty ) with a side of diced carrots. (3 carbs i can live with that.)

Keep the faith, youll get there. We have faith in you as well! you can do it! and you will.

thankfully neve had to do that. never had clotting problems, even with venous insufficiency just the typical heparin injection in the hospital was fine.

i dunno seems like a lot of carbs there, i mean bread rice, etc. maybe its geared more for maintenance stages? Oh and if sanyone is wondering, capsicum is a substitute word for peppers, in this case im assuming Jalapenos since bell peppers have no actual capsicum in them, or very little, ( capsicum being the heat generating chemical in peppers.)

hmm never heard of a re-sleeve, i dont think its physically possible as the fundus which is removed in the initial sleeve, does not grow back, so i would be intrigued. i also dont think a second sleeve would help in any way as the food calorie thing doesnt change per se, and the hormone producing areas dont grow back either. certainly seems a bit... well. i dont know.

ill say this whether asked or not, stalls are a term for non visible weight changes. But that doesn't mean there aren't body changes going on at the same time. So you can be burning fat and replacing fat weight with Water weight or muscle weight. so you can lose inches etc but not have a discernable weight loss for a specific time period.

i used propel fitness Water to help when i had to pretty much never drank plain water. Just had my 3 month checkup today and everything is going great. So theres nothing wrong with drinking water like products just be careful about sugars etc. but it seems you are so goo for you and keep going it does get easier .

i use cal chewables you can get online or in person at the Vitamin shoppe, they are like caramels, chewable and gone. gotta love em.
