In case anyone needs a suggestion for using to purée food in phase 2! Got it yesterday and it’s wonderful..have to travel for work and looking forward to using it.

I read on here to walk a little (during commercials, if you watch tv) in your living room. Something I kept drinking was my energy supplement (Spark by Advocare). Check with your doctor. It definitely helps me with my energy along with my multivitamin. I also held my stomach where my largest incision is when I walk and it helped! I agree with everyone else! Be kind to yourself and let your body rest, but move so you don't develop blood clots and only push yourself to the point where your body can handle it!! This is a life-long journey/marathon, not a sprint :).

Never used them, but they have good reviews on Amazon: Sage Spoonfuls Big Batch Storage Set, 4 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Keep in spirits! I had to hold my side where the incision was to walk...I didn't try regular Gatorade, but Propel (room-temp) worked well for me. I have the protein powder from Unjury and it also worked well for me.

I was able to in about 30-40 minutes! I just took small spoonfuls, while looking on here online. That was my first time eating anything solid! I haven't tried eggs yet!

I have a Blendtec blender (was not the best choice, but all I had). I actually put more chicken and tomato sauce than I could actually eat and then spooned out the 4 oz. I cooked my sauce with seasonings, but didn't warm up the canned chicken.

14 days post-op and I’m smiling! Was NOT looking forward to the purée phase, BUT..got my little 4 oz cup from Walmart (the devil) and found this recipe for Italian Chicken Purée..of course, I cooked my sauce with some seasoning

Keep your head and spirits up! It's a journey and we didn't get where we are today overnight.... You got this!

Hang in there! I feel you...I get mind hungry from commercials! I operate on the notion that I definitely don't want to go back to the ER....

Me too! I move to the pureed stage (with soft scrambled eggs) tomorrow!

I am post op 13 days..I’m down 20lbs! Just about to hit the purée (not so sure about how I feel lol).. SW: 268 Surgery weight (sleeve): 07/22/19: 253 CE:238 GW: 160

Looking for regional people to connect with! Surgery was 13 days ago!

I feel most of you on alllll these things! Man, the life we used to have! Mine: Seeing my belly button (my daughter mentioned this to me the other day) and my neck (best friend lol).. Not spending $10k on food and alcohol! Looking forward to hiking in Hawaii! Not asking for a dang belt extender in the airplane and not worrying about being in the middle seat (although I still don’t want that seat) Just a few..

Thank you! I am following my program (sometimes hard, but doing it!)

Update: 238.8 lbs (weigh-n at PCP) Most exciting part of the visit: My doctor smiled at me (usually there was like a frown and a wrinkle about my labs/BP readings) and said: Oh my! Your face looks sooooo different! Yayyyyyy! I said I would update - don't have my BMI. Might go by the gym later and do the little handheld thing they have... Day 3 goal: Go out in an environment where there is eating and drinking and have total fun....It's what the people I know do! Walk in the morning (b/c I live in Florida and it's hot!) Day 4 goal: Go walk! As you can tell, Day 11 after surgery and I can't seem to walk as I should!

Hello Everyone! I am excited to be a part of this community. Here goes.... 1. My personal goal for the month is to have a successful transition from Full Liquid to puree -- add on -- walk more! 2. Post-op - Gastric Sleeve (7/22/19) 3. Will post/update after my PCP appointment today at 2pm...Started at 265 in May... 4. I love collecting and working with crystals and stones!

Mine was 7/22...I am about to be in the puree stage Sunday....I didn't enjoy the soup stage! I could have yogurt (plain greek)...I did go get the PB2 and add in trevia and I could eat it! That helped a lot! Congrats on your loss...

Do you have any suggestions on new "liquids?"

This child...She used to, but burnt her leg a few years ago with some grease and has struggled to get back in the kitchen (plus, I really like to cook and don't have a mate to cook for lol)....

Are you taking the bariatric vitamins? They have helped me! I bought mine from Unjury (and they are just a little nasty but tolerable)

I had mine on the 22nd and had a Hiatal hernia repaired too! Hope you are doing better....I had the same feelings..now I am just tired of seeing food commercials and cooking for my 19 year old is driving me crazy! I know I am not hungry, but I feel like it in my mind..
