There's an app on my android phone called bariatric timer. You should check it out. It reminds you when it's ok to drink after eating, when it's time to eat...That kind of thing

Have you tried the Peanut Butter powder? I'm going to try it to make smoothies with greek yogurt. Just thinking about drinking another Protein Drink makes me want to gag LOL. I found out string cheese has 9g of Protein yea me

Ok well I'm wondering if my doc has me eating too quickly. My surgery was on 9/10I was on pureed food for 1 week. This week is my 2nd and I'm on soft foods. Pretty much anything but fruits, veggies, and fatty. I've eaten eggs, chili, chicken, tuna, cheese. I've even had two chips chewed really well.

Monday was 5 months post-op for me and I hit a personal goal of 75 lbs. lost. It was time to take a few pics, so I thought I'd share them here. My tight size 3X is now quite large on me. My son suggested I hold one side of it out to show just how big. The black outfit is a size "L". Been fighting this obesity battle for 30+ years. Still have a ways to go but feeling so much better in my almost 54 year old body! BEST decision I ever made

I was told to take a marble sized sip every couple of minutes. liquid does not stay in our pouch nearly as long as pureed food or solid food does. Just take a small sip, really try to feel what your stomach is telling you, then take another, and just go slowly from there. I have a 14 oz Water bottle, and it usually takes me an hour or so to drink it, with some breaks as I do other stuff.

Thank you I had a little pity party for myself on Sunday! Myself told to shut up and rest lmao.

Congratulations!!! You're doing a fantastic job!

My doc says 8oz a day is the limit, but to be honest I never even get close to that. I tried to give it up completely, but that left me with horrible headaches, so now I have a 2oz or so with some vanilla premier I'm it just to kick the headaches in the butt. I don't crave more yet, but I'm only 6 days out

I love cuties ;(

My surgery date is quickly approaching. I'm excited, nervous, scared!!! I'm excited to finally after a long year of appointments be this close to my actual date. Nervous of having a major surgery. Mostly I'm scared of what my life will be like without the food that I obviously love so much. I recently had a lot of stress I'm my life and gained back 30lbs of the 60lbs I had lost. Thinking back to last month I don't know what I would have done without food. How do "normal" people deal with stress??? I eat when I'm stressed. I eat when I'm happy. We Celebrate with food. Most social function revolves around food! We need it to live and I defiantly live for it. This is something I want, but knowing there will never be a "cheat" day is a little daunting. Knowing that I'll never be able to go back is both exciting and terrifying.
