Hi I'm from the KC area and would be interested in a support group. How do we get this thing going?

I am about to start my two week liver shrinking phase and I need help being creative on what to eat. what was your go to meal for breakfast lunch and dinner? Thank you!

I just finished my six month appointment on December 22 and they said that I should be scheduled for February surgery date. I am very excited!

Thanks ready2B!

I sure hope so kitt!

Hi my name is Jamie and I am new to this forum. I am 47 years old and will have the sleeve surgery in either February or March depending on when my insurance finally approves it. I have been married for almost 19 years and have a son that is 25 years old from a previous marriage and he has my only grandchild, a girl, who is 18 months old. I also have a 15-year-old daughter. I am originally from Cincinnati Ohio and moved to Kansas City 4 1/2 years ago. Since that time I am retired and babysit my granddaughter two days a week and chauffeur my 15-year-old around. In my previous life I was a human resources director for 25 years. I have fibromyalgia and about 60 to 70 pounds to lose. I don't exercise because it hurts and I am looking for gentle ideas to incorporate into my post surgery lifestyle. I also just created a post about not liking puréed foods. I know that it's going to be a problem I just can't deal with the consistency of them. So any and all advice would be greatly appreciated and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you

I am on my fifth month of the diet phase and I understand that I have to be on soft and puréed foods after the surgery. The problem is that I don't like the consistency of regular foods blended up into a purée. Are there any suggestions or helpful hints to get through this phase?
