Looking forward to wearing a dress, not worrying about airline seats, just getting around easier, not feeling self conscious about my size, and overall just feeling better[emoji5]

My preop has no guide on how many carbs or calories. Instead it has a list of foods allowable, none of which could cause the diet to be too carby or caloric.

You're not

Around the park or outside of them yes. Inside of the parks, no

Me too

Inspiring

Can anyone eat pickles? Jalapenos? Anything pickled or spicy?

My surgeon made it clear no milk or cream in the soup. Creamed equals puréed.

Can anyone give me a comprehensive list of what foods are slider ones? I know that ice cream is, but what about puréed food like soup and mashed potatoes etc... My understanding is that you may still feel hungry eating slider foods and that you won't really be able to recognize your pouch fullness until you're eating more solid foods like meat etc.

Type in Gastric Sleeve Recipes on Pinterest. It's on the left hand side of first page.

Ok my surgeon sent diet info. Soups are Healthy Choice or low fat.

You will need to buy some food most likely at a food store to put in your mini fridge. You'll find the Parks and the hotels have almost nothing for you to consume. Sorry.

Are you staying inside of Disneyworld?

I will address your concerns separately . 1. Be in charge of your body. Tell your spouse that his behavior is selfish and immature. Sounds like he is worried about your emerging attractiveness. Couples therapy might help. 2. Tell friends that you're sure that they mean well, but that your body is not up for discussion. 3. This one is easy. Find a good seamstress that can alter your clothing once you are at the end of your loss. I've done it. Costs a bit but not as much as replacement. 4. You will feel sexier when you gain confidence and love yourself more. Overall, you are your biggest cheerleader. This will be true in your life no matter what the situation. You're doing a great job. Don't let others rain on your parade. If your spouse loves you he will support you. If he doesn't then....

It's amazing that you have found nutritionists that don't give you a hard time about low carb/high fat/high protein. I've known many NUTS working in hospitals and most are dead set against it.

My surgeon said that there is no difference in rate of weight loss between bypass and sleeve. Though I said bypass, he recommended the sleeve instead due to the amount of dumping experienced with the bypass. Forget the lapband. For many reasons,which you can read about on this site, it absolutely not the way to go. The incidence of revisions alone speak to that.

Ok then what bought types and brands did you find to be most tasty when blended? I'm not much of a canned soup lover. I could use some help on this subject. Thanks

Me too

It essentially is removed. It's growth lies in the removed portion of the abdomen. This is only true with gastric sleeved patients.

Please help me out here. I have a lack of understanding about "cream soup". Does that mean like a can of tomato soup made with milk? Does it mean black bean soup that has been puréed! What about pea soup or broccoli cheese soup that has been puréed?

Did you purée the scrambled egg?

I like reading about your journey. I'll admit though, it does make me fearful of only getting one night in the hospital.

You could always give yourself a time limit, say 3-6 months , and try to take it off on your own first.
