The struggle is real - I get so sick of hearing that the surgery is a tool... but is is very true I would postpone only so you can get " more ready" for success once the restriction is less and more reliance on your food choices I know where you are now - and if you go ahead, I can guarantee you will lose some weight- but if you truly want to get to goal weight - you may need to get more control over food choices Can I ask if you are walking or doing any activities while on

Don't give up and good luck !!

Ok - I have done something wrong ... twice. My eggs in the muffin tin really puff up and then deflate - but not in a good way . Maybe the whole milk vs half / half ? I also halved the recipe ... love the pic but not my actual outcome Welcome back to scrambled eggs for me

Diana - proud of you and your journey ! You are truly an inspiration ! Congratulations on losing more than just your weight, but what looks like dead weight!

Hi Allie - I can say that for just the gastric sleeve procedure, I was in the hospital for three days.. I have seen varying stays for the procedure - but was very glad I was in the hospital having someone watch over me for that duration My surgeon liked to make sure I could keep fluids down and I did the barium test.

I'm using bi pro chocolate- every other brand tastes too sweet for me .

B. Annie - I am having the same problems on my iPhone ... glad I'm not alone ( or crazy ). Today it's working better

There is a really good post from 2016 that explained this based on needing to change the way we sit after losing weight ... I will try and find it to post .. or try and check it out

I agree with the other poster that what you have is fine for the 2 week period of puréed foods... unless you want an excuse to get a food processor ! My NUT advised not to eat baby food because it will not help you meet your protein needs . There are slot of options for puréed foods ...

They have tuna fish in packs ( so a to go food) I also drink bi-pro choc shakes - they are really good ( they don't have that sickly sweet taste) I haven't found a protein bar with enough protein that I like without too much sugar / carbs - I find I need to get my calories from food

The obvious for me is not needing a seatbelt extender. That takes alot of fear from traveling i also enjoy shopping for clothes In A STORE !

You were 185 when you had the procedure done / attempted ? Is that why it was self pay? You dont have to answer really, just curious good luck

Sgc- followed your progression and agree with a previous poster - your journey is awesome ! Maybe instead of thinking that group activities are not your thing, try it . What is the worst thing that will happen ? Set a goal to go to an event and talk to at least two people . So, You will hang out in the back and leave early ... Part of your journey is to try new things!!! I have to say that i think your eHarmony emails are great... I wish you alot of success !

I use bi- pro and I really like it. The choc flavor is not sweet and I tolerate it well

Thanks.. will check it out too .. Your " plan" is pretty simple - no fruits or anything else, huh. You have to love simplicity. I can see that in most of your posts too . Thanks
