I'm just wondering who has that kind of time???? She isn't getting or giving help?

Same!

Plantar fasciitis is the WORST. I have it badly in my right heel and moderate on the left. It sucks sooooo badly. I'm hoping the weight loss helps.

I did it Monday. ???? I made ricotta bake, and didn't eat too much just ate too fast as it was finally something really tasty. Didn't realize I was doing it until the fullness slammed me in the face and well - the night didn't end well. I'm scared of the leftovers in my fridge!

This is a joke, right? If not... please see a therapist. I'm not saying you're CRAZY , I see one weekly myself. But there is NO way you'll make it through the pre-op and definitely NO way you'll make it post op. Overweight and obese people have enough extra weight that we can lost 30 pounds and be "okay" - you have no extra weight to lose. There is no way this is safe physically or mentally. Having untreated bigger eating disorder sets you up for a leak.

All the samples I've tasted were pretty gross

I bought a blender for protein shakes and smoothies. I found my immersion blender/food processor more helpful for purees. I've used all my kitchen gadgets in the past month.

Yep. I just shave it and will tweeze the big guys as well. It's genetic in my family my mom, sister, and Aunt all have it. We're all different sizes.

I have lactaid milk, but have gotten sick off pudding, scrambled egg, and ricotta bake. So I think me and egg are not friends.

A ton of measuring cups. I can't keep enough clean around here.

Try every option. You'll find one in there. Took me a few tries and ended up being g2.

Rosey Posey, I know you looked great at 14 and 150 if you were 5'10" then. 181 would be perfect goal weight now and put you at 24.9 BMI - one point under being overweight.I'm also 5'10 and going for 180. 150 hasn't happened sine I was 14 and had no childhood weight issues. I'd be skin and bones.

Yeah, with the calcium separate from the other stuff by 2 hours I'd have to set my phone to remind me.

So, Vitamins. My surgeon's team recommends Celebrate or Optisource. Also Opurity. What does everyone enjoy? There are too many choices - all combined, separate Calcium and b12. All kinds of info. What has worked for y'all?

6 to 8 weeks.

Both the scrambled egg and ricotta bake (which includes egg) made me sick. I am 19 days out and had 2 shakes, refried beans with cheese/sour cream, and a string cheese. It's only about 600 calories. My target range is 800-1000 but idk how I'd get anymore in.

Thanks!

I am so proud of all you ladies! We are STRONG and FIERCE women. [emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji173] [emoji173]

Minimum 2 weeks. Maximum 6 weeks. I had 7 business days off, then 4 half days. I should have taken more, work is kicking my @$$ and I have a desk job. The only good thing is it forces me awake and drinking at 7am.

I never measured soup that early on, but 1 can of condensed lasted me 3-4 "meals" ... I'd caution eating the whole thing at once.

Yum! I am Italian and loveeee pizza. I made ricotta bake for the first time tonight, slow going in but so good! Can you share the cheese pizza crust recipe? I don't want to forget about it next month [emoji4]

What's everyone who got sleeved the 1st half of the month eating?

I'm 12 days post op and I am no where near ready for work I'm taking a month off I have a desk job Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Good! I went back wayyyy too soon and am dreading tomorrow like no other, Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. I'm skipping them scrambled. May try them in the ricotta bake. So odd as my surgeon's diet is strick. Clear liquids 10 days and then full liquids days 11-14. The eggs were part of soft food. I have fish and such approved too - the rule is anything that can be mashed with a fork. But eggs did not not not go well. I think it set me back a few days actually. How did everyone do moving to fish? Anyone find it odd that flaky fish and things much softer like mashed potatoes are in the same stage?

Agreed Geen you'll be fine, he sounds like a good egg. And Loopy, I'm happy for you! The good ones are out there [emoji4]
