First day off of the pureed stage!!!!
Going out to eat tonight and then catching a movie. I understand that I will be ordering and eating only Protein. Probably just 2 - 3 oz.
Any dinner location ideas in the north Dallas area that has a pretty friendly menu? We usually end up at Houston's but I don't want to pay $25-27 for my meal and only two - three bites of food. (I'm not cheap, just trying to adjust to this new lifestyle)
Really don't want to be the guy asking or explaining about a kids meal "due to weight loss surgery".
Any ideas?

Looking for a friend or mentor to lean on during this process. Sleeve scheduled for Feb 9th 2017.
41, married, 3 boys 17,15&3, 5'5", 235, Atlanta area, LIBERAL-just putting it out there.
That is me and my sister this Christmas on the slopes in WV. She's around 115 and says things like..."you're not fat, you're beautiful." I am beautiful but I'm sick of being fat.
PM me!

I am a dser and hispanic boy do i know about them holidays just went through my first it was tuff but i did it. Eventually you will be able to have some of the foods back you may have to tweek them to make them better but everything in moderation. Also it depends on your sleeve and what you can tolerate some folks on here are saying that there taste buds changed or that their sleeves do not tolerate some of the foods they loved.

Surgery is scheduled for January 30th, but I'm trying to get everything at work prepared for when I leave/return, etc.
I currently work 4 days a week, 10-12 hours/day, and am sitting for the majority of that time at my computer, in meetings, etc. where I am not in a position to get up and walk around. I am considering requesting to work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day so I can spread my work out, and be able to fit more breaks/movement in.
Is there anyone that works 10-12 hour days currently (sitting)? Would it make sense to split out my schedule to 5 days so it's not so overwhelming all in the compressed workweek? Any feedback/suggestions, etc. would be helpful!

Yep! I work 10 hours days & often more behind a desk. I went back to work 1 week after surgery (yeah yeah..I know! But it was necessary) and I was fine. I took breaks and went out side and walked when I could. If I got to the point where I couldn't handle it, I went home early but that was better for me than missing the whole day.
The biggest thing was making sure I packed enough of the foods I could have during that time. Luckily we have a fridges here so there was room for Protein drinks and waters.

@"Sarita", Have you started your liquid diet?

I did my own chicken broth
chicken breast, onion , carrots, celery , .. and a little salt, it really taste good. Also I had fish and shrimp broth. Same thing as the chicken broth but with unpeeled shrimp and just any fish filet. It really taste good.

These two people have very different lives, the one on the left hated Mondays because he had to go to work and didn't feel well because he only had 3 hours of sleep due to the fact his sleep apnea tried to kill him every night. The one on the right cannot wait to wake up after a great night sleep, to get to the gym and sculpt his guns.
