Spiralized or shredded carrots, wilted kale (that's for you @Walter.Sobchak) additional vegetables, broth and spices of choice. I try to keep the flavor very Eastern if not distinctly Japanese. Top with your fav dense Protein.
It's my version of bariatric (non pork) tonkostu ramen
So easy. Enjoy.❤

That looks so good. Do you have a recipe for that

Hi everyone
I've been lurking these boards for quite some time pre op and found you all to be very useful in keeping me motivated so I thought I'd finally throw myself in and start posting. I'm from the UK, England and was sleeved on the 28th December so I'm almost 2 weeks into my post op journey. I was on the milk diet for Christmas day so I've figured if I managed that then I can manage any day.
Things are going well and I seem to have had a super fast, pain free recovery compared to some from what I've read on here. (Sorry if anybody is going through a difficult recovery and is reading this - I don't mean to rub it in!) I'm looking forward to getting off of puree food now though, the texture just isn't doing it for me! x

I can not wait until I can cross my legs like a lady and feel comfortable.

Here’s me. Sorry for the shirtless pics but I think it helps show my luck with scars and loose skin.

Starting Weight: 268lb
Surgery Date: 10/30/17
Surgery Weight: 250lbs
Goal Weight: 180lbs
Current Weight: 144lbs

For the most part, I loosely stick to my food plan. I do venture outside of it often but I workout 6-10 hours a week, so it balances out.

I’m so glad I made this life changing decision! I love my new body and all of my health problems have gone away!

PS thank you Kaiser!

Shot I wish I had you as a gym partner.. or you as my personal trainer.you look so amazing. I am only 4 weeks post op 25lbs down since surgery... I am just really wowed about your success.. keep up the amazing work..

My band was removed April 2018, and I had to wait for my dilated esophagus to shrink back to normal (I was told minimum of 3 months). While it was healing, I had to go through the program again including nutrition and psychologist. I finally had my sleeve done 2 weeks ago (11/27). No problems so far. Good luck.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Not being snarky and never called them a "crazy liar". Simply stating that I don't agree with their justifications and that the statements made sound crazy to me. Stating that you disagree with someone's actions is not bullying. Just like you don't agree with mine but I do not believe you are bullying me.

Hey everyone! I see there are some great victories being posted, I am officially 50lbs down from my highest weight!! so I wanted to share with everyone too! Congrats to everyone on their personal victories as well. How is everyone doing? I am still in soft foods, but loving this stage, I am getting in a lot more Protein, but need to figure out how to get space for the carbs? I did start coffee again, many of you already know my TMI issues and to be honest halfway through the cup of coffee I was in the bathroom and it was glorious, so small cup is what I am drinking and add in an extra glass of Water to compensate for dehydration effects... Miralax stopped working, I see my Dr next week and hopefully we can brainstorm a bit together. I am also hoping to get cleared to do a bit more activity... next week. I could stay in the stage forever lol. hope you are all doing well!

Mine is only 2week liquids and 3rd week puree.. I can not wait for that stage. Next Tuesday for me.. [emoji3]

I had no restriction for that they just told me if I took my pain meds that I could not drive.
