I'm so happy that you are enjoying your puree stage...it only gets better from there 😉

On the purée stage I did a lot of puréed chicken salad, it was my go too. Simple and quick and very tasty 😋

Yes I tried it and it’s really good, of course I couldn’t eat much so I cut it up into small servings and froze it, it reheats very well too...there are a few variations which you can find on this site or YouTube. 😊

Lol...good for you! It’s the little things that make us happy right. Congratulations on your journey, get creative and try all kinds of delicious healthy recipes, I’m loving it. Btw: Pinterest has tons of recipes for each stage 👍🏾

30 minutes for me to

I know! I bought several flavors and was so disappointed...I felt like I wasted my money. LOL

It's soooo good!!

I had surgery on 8/29/18 I’m losing steadily, I stall a lot but it’s coming off, I do walk a lot and go to gym a few times a week, so far I’ve lost 33 lbs but I think you are doing good also...just keep it up and in a years time we will all be at goal 🎊👏🏽

I know some people that are in the medical field and believe it or not some people will actually have surgery to get pain meds...It's hard to phantom and so so sad but I saw an episode on My 600 lb life and one of patients did that, because of their addiction the doctors are leery I guess 😟 I couldn't even begin to imagine having surgery without pain meds...

You look amazing!! Congratulations on all of your hard work and enjoy your vacation with hubby 😉

You look so good! The transformation is amazing... I am truly happy for you and congratulations on a year strong. Keep on with your new lifestyle ✌️

I was sooooo nervous a whole week before surgery and the day of, but after it was over it was so surreal to me and I am so happy I did it. Congratulations and I wish you all the best. 🙂👍

You're doing great! almost at goal WOW. I think I mentioned to you on another one of your post that you are very motivating. I had surgery 8/29/18 a little over 2 months and I feel great and will be where you are in the near future. Keep on keeping on and I'm going to continue to follow in your foot steps. New Lifestyle...✌️

Congratulations! That is awesome, I can't wait to be there. I'm working hard at it. Good job!

Congratulations and welcome. 🙂

Try drinking flavored water, maybe it's head hunger that you are experiencing...It's good that you reached out for help because you have come so far. You asked should you start over from the beginning, I think that's a good idea just don't have shakes since you don't like them and you said you still have restriction so that is GREAT!! You will get back on track. Write down reasons why you chose to have the surgery and keep it near you as a reminder. I wish you all the best!

Muralax!

You look really good! Congratulations you have done very well and it’s so encouraging to see progress like yours and others. 😉

@beccaconaty87 I had grapes by week 3, everyone can’t tolerate fruit at the same time or some people say it’s a slider food, but it isn’t for me...my suggestion is to try one and see how it goes for you, I usually can’t have more than 7 or 8 depending on the size. My nutritionist was amazed that I could eat strawberries because of the seeds but it doesn’t bother me, she said go for it if I could tolerate it. The only fruit that I find is a slider food is bananas, I can eat the whole thing, I was shocked lol. Now I cut it in half. I love fruit.

@Eliz_123 what you are experiencing is absolutely normal! Your stomach is still swollen from having major surgery, give your body a chance to heal, two weeks isn’t long at all AND you’ve lost 13 lbs! That’s awesome, in that short amount of time...follow your plan and you will lose, I think most plans tell you that it takes 1 year to 18 months to get to goal, some people definitely do lose the weight faster but everyone’s body is different, you have to factor in age, starting weight, medical issues and the list goes on. None of us put on this weight overnight so we are not going to lose it overnight. You are on track and doing quite well so try and relax and not focus so much on the scale, follow your plan and the weight will come off. Do a search on stalls and you will find so many topics and see that you are not alone. Keep up the good work the end result will be worth it. 😊

Congratulations! and best wishes. You will do fine 👍

I agree with @Missouri-Lee's Summit No question is silly, I wondered that myself when I can gradually eat a little more than I did before...so thanks for asking that question. 🙂

You look amazing. Congratulations on a job well done!!

You just need to move to Florida young lady @GreenTealael I was born and raised here, so I had no choice in the matter...don't get me wrong it's beautiful here, sunny, palm trees, beaches...yada yada yada BUT I do feel sad when I see snow up north and it;s 80 plus degrees here. My first time actually seeing snow in person was the beginning of this year when I went to Lake Tahoe in January, to me it was the most beautiful experience ever. It was 20 degrees at night time and I actually slept with the sliding glass door cracked open...it felt soooo good to me. But I have heard people say that winter makes them sad so I do understand.

Awww! Thank you @Missouri-Lee's Summit 😉
