Last night I made a roast for the family. I did mashed potatoes and steamed carrots. I took a small slice of meat and gravy and pureed it and same with carrots and sat at table with my saucer with the little spoon fulls of dreamy fluff. It was good..but the look on my family's face was priceless. I wish I had a camera! My husband keeps apologizing! LOL he said he feels so bad that I'm so full after two to 3 spoons of food.

I live down the NJ shore! Every week I go to the beach with my daughters and grand kids on Tuesday. The week of surgery I was on post diet. Was huffing to the spot we sit at. Could barely get up out of the chair. Week after surgery I was feeling ok, walking better! But, week 3 I not only could walk without huffing, I could wear a bathing suit I was hoping to fit into by the end of the summer. And I got up out of my chair with ease and was able to run up and down with the waves with my grandchildren! And play in the sand!???? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hear yah! But I've gotten some easy high Protein items like the yogurt called triple zero that has 27 grams for vanilla. It goes down good! And I'm drinking at every pee break at night. Two shakes and yogurt gets you well over 60. So add your protein meals your gold. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Be very careful, you've graduated to the big girls club. I was in that situation and I have 5 daughters. I knew that for them I had to show them I was not going to stand for it any more. He wasn't always like that but after my last daughter was born I couldn't lose weight. My teen aged daughters heard his nasty comments. He was cheating, so I dug in my heels and kicked his butt out! Divorced him and never looked back. With in a year I met the man who has loved me fat and thin. He doesn't care! They are out there! He took me on with my 5 daughters. We're married for 15 years and I just had surgery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just a fact that cravings are just that! We need to be creative! Two weeks out I'm on purée and as mentioned already Peanut Butter Is allowed. So get some low sugar jam and peanut butter on a spoon. Did you know that Walden Farms has some amazing good syrups that add awesome flavor and no calories. chocolate is the jam. Tastes exactly like Hershey's !

I've given myself some good puréed foods that I made sure would be ready for the times I prep dinner for my family. Peaches are in season, so I peeled a half and threw it into the bullet. Yum!

Electrolytes are essential when drinking liquids. For every day of the summer you require at least eight half your body weight in oz. The 64 oz of Water is very conservative. And to keep your balance you must add to one drink some sort of electrolyte during day. If your body gets what it needs it will start giving you what you need!
