I see alot of people eat scrambled eggs on the puree stage. Do they have to be put in the blender or can we just chew the heck out of it?
I don't start this stage until next week bt am trying to get prepared because to be honest I can't imagine blending meats and things! Seems icky!
Also the Ricotta Bake that has been posted.....does that need to go into a blender once baked?
Please put any recipes you enjoyed during this stage! Thanks in advance!

I certainly wasn't expecting to be a May Sleever as I was expecting a June date but I am proud to join this group! My date is May 28th! I start the pre op diet on the 14th. My pre op diet is 2 shakes, 2 Snacks off of a small list and 2 oz meat and a cup of veggies for dinner.

I am just starting the whole process. I only went to the seminar and yesterday I went to a support group (required by my surgeon). I have my consult with him on Friday so am hoping to have a complete list and to be able to make appts/etc. They have a 2 month pre surgical weight maintenance requirement through the surgeons office so I am hoping that when i go to that viit that can be the start. I would love to have everything done by end of may and submitted to have surgery in June/july. I hope this week goes fast. There is a list on my portal of his website, a checklist and there arent a lot of steps. He require a pre surgery exercise class that I will attend this month, the psych, and nut visit. I was told that at my consult he may want me to complete other steps.

I am pretty new to all this. I have been doing a lot of research that past few weeks and have a consult with a surgeon next week. (Dr Pham, if anyone is from Buffalo and has had him please PM me!). Anyway I had to find a new PCP because mine is now practicing about an hour away. I was worried on what she would say about wanting the surgery and if she would go along with it. I was worried she would want me to try other things under her care first and delay the process. The appointement ended up going great. She at first was a little concerned that I wanted to have surgery when I have no health issues besides joint pain from being overweight. After I told her about all my attempts and the fact that my mothers side of the family has heart and diabetes issues she said she would support this! She told me she would do whatever they needed her to do and after I see the surgeon to let her know. I am relieved that she is in my corner and I believe I made the right choice in a new primary doctor!

Yes I have an appointment next Friday for a consult. I was invited to a support group Saturday so am going to go to that as well.
