I think I know the big difference between healthy, normal-sized people and obese people:
Healthy people get back on the horse.
Obese people don't.
See that animal over there with a saddle on it? Yup, the horse.
Whatcha gonna do now?

Hopefully, you will be cooking so many healthy meals for your family that he may lose weight without trying. Maybe he'll go for walks with you. He might be afraid of losing you when you become your newer, slimmer, sexier you - but if he takes this journey with you ( without him realizing it) he will feel great about himself also

Well, its 4 days post op. I love my Protein Shakes but am starting to get sick of the liquid phase. I just keep reminding myself " you have to heal"

Sometimes a Fiber One Bar will kick start your system

eggs are on my list for 7 days post op as well as tuna & chicken salad. Also mashed potatoes so I would say " go for it"

I had the revision 2 days ago and am worried that this will happen to me also. The only saving grace I gave is the nutritionist gave me a plan before the surgery and to do it as well once I'm back to solid foods. For what my out of pocket expense this is, I'm praying that this will help me in this journey

Make a pudding pie. I buy the Keebler mini pie crusts and fill them with SF pudding and top with cool whip lite. As long as it's sitting in the fridge for over 24 hours, the pie crust will soften. And they are individual servings. You can make a variety of pies with different flavor puddings

Yes I'm in MA on the CT border. I've been very open with everyone about my surgery because it will be obvious to others how slow you are eating. This way they don't question me or comment.

As long as it's mushy you can make whatever you want. Some people are making re-fried Beans with melted cheese on top

I am on day 5 post op, and I have found that even the most well intentioned people have a difficult time grasping the concept of all liquids, no solids. They just don't get it.

When I had my RNY, I was wheeled to my hospital room right after surgery, and my hospital roommate immediately turned on the food Network channel and watched it for like 6 hours straight. That was swell! ????

Actually you can freeze them and take out one a few months from now to have as a treat. I hardly touch sweets (they were my addiction) but have found I can have a small piece of candy now and then and one is all I want. And I can take it or leave it. Addiction whipped.

Ha ha. Here's another one- 8 days post op I went to get a haircut. While in the chair, a guy in the salon was offering my hairdresser a truffle from a box of chocolates. He's holding the box next to my head, then pulls out the candy chart and has it in front of my face. I was like - WTF? Then he offered me one and I kept declining and he kept getting me to try one. I finally told him why I was declining and he was so sweet - looked shocked and said " you don't look heavy enough to need weight loss surgery"

I couldn't help but laugh. I put it away for now, will open when I have company on a future date. Can't re-gift because she wrote my name on the wrapper lol. She did buy "dark chocolate candies " to be healthier.

So I received a "get well" present from an old co- worker while I'm home recovering from revision surgery from band to sleeve. It was a box of chocolates!! I figured you all would get a laugh out of this one. Oh - she did know about the revision surgery also

I had surgery 2/4. I pre-made my Jello the day before my surgery. Stocked up on Soups and Protein Drinks. costco sells Premier Protein which I love. I've been drinking them since 2008 when I got my lapband and just revised to sleeve. Plus they are 30 grams of Protein. Walmart had an Atkins shake that's Mocha Latte. I bought a 4 pack and am regretting I didn't get more. They are delicious. I bought small paper coffee cups and I put my Soup in those. Ocean State Job Lot sells little containers. I stocked up on those. I made a batch of ground chicken meatballs and stored those in small containers and put in the freezer

In the hospital it's just their gown. I brought a robe but never needed it.

@@CowgirlJane,
I love the advice you have been giving people. You are a true success story with the revision and I hope that I can be as successful as you are

Congratulations!!

I'm hoping if I lose some weight the Plantar Facitis will get better or I'll be crushed. I had gotten into a routine of going to the track from March- Nov to walk on the weekends and it's going to kill me if I can't do that anymore. I might talk to my PCP about getting a cortisone shot
