Adding protein to anything I am eating or drinking is a lifesaver. It not only helps you reach your goals, it also takes the worry and stress off of it because it will just become a habit. I add the powder to most everything, even things that already contain protein. Add it to yogurt, Soup, Jello, etc.

FRIENDS!!! I lost 5 pounds in 2 days!!!

My surgery is this afternoon.

Hey all. I don't mean to say this to boast, but everything has gone so smoothly with my recovery I'm questioning if surgery actually even happened. lol I have incisions to remind me it did, but it's weird how well my body is reacting.
I'm already on week 2 of fluids. Cannot wait for the pureed stage. I'm craving texture so bad! The crushed meds are horrendous so I got my neurologist to give me some liquid meds for a few months. Thank god for that!

I'm getting excited for August to wrap up as so many of you are having surgery in these last two weeks! Wishing everyone good luck!

My Sleeve to RNY revision is in T - 2 hours and 20 minuets. Arriving at hospital. Please say a prayer for me

EGD finished, cleared for surgery next Tuesday! Can't get here soon enough!!!

The main reason for puree is so you do not rupture the staple line in your new stomach. It's also to ensure your body can tolerate those foods before moving on to solids. If you're asking if your teeth can do the same job as a blender with sharp blades...no, no it can't. Puree means pulverized. No chunks, not even a little bit. Think baby food or applesauce consistency.
Eating solid foods at this stage can not only rupture your staple line, but it can get stuck in your new tummy and cause extreme pain and nausea.
Remember, you don't have a smaller stomach. You have a new stomach. It needs training to be fully functional.

Oh, man I didn't even think of that! Hmmm...might have to go shopping online!

Here’s my suit. It’s a two piece so I decided to by the top now but wait until next summer to buy a matching bottom. Because who knows what my lower tummy and butt will be like! Lol

I went ahead and purchased the suit I was wanting. My phone is dead right now, but I will come back a post a pic!

I ran across some super cute swimsuits yesterday. They didn’t have any in my current size but since they are on sale I’m considering buying one in a size I think might fit me next summer.

Anyone else bought clothing that you’re hoping will fit as you work towards your goal?

Having surgery Thursday. One day closer

I have been dreaming of avocados. I can't wait to be able to make guac. Here is the idea I had. You know that recipe going around Keto groups where you make Pizza Crust out of ground chicken? I was going to make that and cut it up into pieces and use that as chips in the guac!
