I've noticed, it's like they want someone to jump on their bandwagon of getting a Pass. Misery loves company ???? We've given to many passes as it is, and look where that got us. Now's the time, I Choose me, for my health to be restored. Great post by the way.

Houston we have landed ???????? lol sorry I had to lol It's been a week, why so long I wonder. I would have assumed I'd if had major cramping and all, but nothing. At least now I know I'm good.

Sorry to hear you are struggling. It just goes to show ya, how different our bodies are with everything, including healing. I wish you the best of luck on your healing, and hopefully you'll get a taste in your mouth you'll enjoy soon.????

Why thank you ???????????? I'm down 31 pounds in 3weeks. Not to bad so far ????And yes please any purée ideas would rock ????

It was pretty cut and dry, the way the NUT put things. No Bread, pasta, sugar, soda. It definitely amazes me what I've seen others eat, but hey it's their journey not mine. I want to use my new tool as effectively as I can, while I can. Its potency, for lack of better terms, seems to not be very long (long enough to lose), so why jeopardize any possible progress?

I just started purée stage, so I have a ways to go. But can't wait to make..

Will do. In always looking for the next big thing lol I need variety to keep me sane.

I hope you have a speedy and painless recovery ???? and welcome to the losers bench later on today ???? it feels amazing to be on the other side. And it's no joke on the walking, to release the gas pains. It really works. But making yourself move is pretty tough when your insides feel so fragile.

Can't wait to try ❤️

Ok thanks, I wondered how everyone did it lol.. I definitely am gonna try something delicious tonight ❤️

Ok it's exactly a week today since my surgery, and no BM this whole time. I took 2 ex lax pills crushed up yesterday, and nothing. I crushed 2 more today and so far nothing. It's obviously only been liquids for the last 3 weeks, and today is first day to incorporate puréed food. So obviously nothing should have come out in that area anyways right? I have no cramping or discomfort. I am having moments of flatulence ???? so I assume it's working right down there !? Anyone else experiencing similar issue? TIA ????

Do you run the cottage or ricotta cheese through the blender still? With it being soft already.

Good luck and Godspeed on your recovery ????

And you just have to make a conscious effort to not let your withdrawal, effect you or your family. If you know that you get grumpy just tell them you need a minute to just chill or whatever. It worked for me and my family ????

Vitamin B-12 sublingual helped me and still does.Nature's Bounty Vitamin B Complex Sublingual Liquid, 2 Ounce (Pack of 4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7QPC8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_f7Fuvb0MY1TRV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7QPC8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_f7Fuvb0MY1TRV Good luck ????

We just have to remind ourselves, hey, yes we decided to change our lives dramatically, and yes that means we can't eat whatever we want, but hey, we will be way skinnier and way healthier than we've ever been in our lives. IT WILL BE WORTH EVERY SECOND OF MISERY. Maybe you need a little more variety in what you are consuming.Thanks SalonboiI'm sure it's just a passing thing. And I also think your correct when you say I'm not giving myself enough variety. I'm stuck in that drink water and have a chocolate protein shake. I have an appt. this week with my NUT and I'm sure she will have some suggestions. I also get the liquacel delivered tomorrow. Thanks for your positive feedback , it helps. And now I will kick myself in the butt and just push forward. What was the alternative for me , to just remain overweight , which was a fight for me everyday also. This too shall pass. ???? The Liqacel really is like a party in my mouth, flavor wise. Having had the protein drinks for so long will drive anyone crazy lol. And yes time to "kick yourself in the butt and move forward " cause there is no other choice. ???? we want skinniness and our health over anything else ???? and we are making that happen as we speak. We are actually working towards that goal now, and that makes me really excited. To finally be on the proverbial "Losers Bench" is an amazing thought, after years of accepting my overweight fate. But not anymore ????

Yes everything I'm making is definitely able to go through a straw. My deviled egg spread was yummy last night. And for lunch I did refried beans and melted mozzarella on top. So good ????

Depression can happen. Talk to your PCP to see if you need to explore your options if this continues. Mourning food is tough in our fragile states. I use positive self talk, it really helps me.

LiquaCel Concentrated Liquid Protein, Sugar-Free Lemonade, 32oz Bottle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H2LGBU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_G5uuvb038AY1G https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H2LGBU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_G5uuvb038AY1G I love this stuff. 16grams of protein per 1ounce shot.and there is a peach/mango flavor not listed in pic. I've tried the orange, grape and peach/mango. All great tasting. Next order will be the lemonade. I'm sure it'll be just as good.

Pinterest is a great resource of recipes. It's amazing nowadays, you practically don't even need a physical cookbook to try new ideas. Good luck ????

Congratulations on being on losers bench now! Glad to hear it went great. Thank goodness they got you situated this morning, as to not lose your place in line for surgery. The water part only sucks when you think of not having it. Being hooked up to an IV drip alleviates any dehydration. Godspeed on your recovery and keep us posted ????

Definitely eye opening.

Good luck and Godspeed on your recovery ???? keep us in the know ????
