You got this Perfect plan above! Do what you want Nobody is forcing you to soft foods! I barely eat and live on what you have above to this day. But there are great soft foods you can eat - Eggs, tuna salad, egg salads, shrimp, oysters, lobster or crab cold salads. Very low in calories

2 months before salad, however i did make some very creative Blender salads. I actually make a Cobb salad - Eggs Ham greens cheese and run it thru a food processor. Salad Smoothie Only veggies i can not currently eat is Corn, Not sure why

Going WLS Male on this one! All of us who are male are dumb ass stupid including myself! We are genetically HEAR ME ROAR! so my view is this is your journey you did this for yourself Not him! He wants to kill himself stay clear, You are no position with your journey to carry his weight! He will either get his head out of his ass like myself! Or he will be like my best buddy Barron! - he is currently in a Urn at age 53 So focus on yourself he is going to see the results and when you are able you can give some support but it will take something other then you to wake him up! For me it was a trip thru the Cardiac Ward laying there wondering if i would ever see my kids again. He is a food addict like all of us, I would eat fast food 5 times a week, drink like a fish and eat like a animal. I know where he is at. Enjoy your journey - This is for you! Do not get frustrated Do not get on his case about it - he will push back all males do! Just do your thing and slowly he will see you changing, you being happy and maybe wake up!

This is a great thread and I am shocked I did not get ambushed. Only counter to above i go to these countries because of the offshore fishing, The girls run second to fishing offshore. But i do see your point, Love to see the other sides and I agree with the one thing. Seems you can be more confident in other countries Now lets end the virus so we can all go :FISHING? We will just use that word for now

I would Not sure about how the male thing goes but go for it! Nothing more fun then meeting new people and getting serviced!

For all you who wonder if cooking for others gets easier, yes it does - Whipped out below yesterday for the kdis - Really never bothered me. In the past I would woof down a slab like it was nothing. Now one rib No sauce FYI i have designed the new Florida Tshirt Logo also for Disney! Video.mov

Your head is messing with you! That will go away, once you get the hang of this and your new life and being healthy You will never second guess yourself! Option one: Stay the way you were obese, and you will die and along the way deal with disease and be miserable Option two: Get the surgery, change my life, live longer, less chance of disease. and be Happy! You can always go back to option one, but i think you should choose two. Live the dream enjoy the journey! Be patient it is a journey not a sprint

Ok I am going to get jumped on by every female on this site - Or at least most of them! The USA is a pain in the ass to date, Females here have careers are way more into being single and with kids there main focus is on there kids, careers and themselves! So as a fellow single male who does a lot of friends with benefits vs relationships. I am fortunate to be financially strong so that gives me a slight advantage, The cars, boats, and places i go allow me to attract. But i also have another game i play - FOREIGN COUNTRY'S Yes i travel to cool hot fishing spots and as a benefit the girls are more out for you then you are for them. They need help and will be a lot easier to date or marry then a US female. So as life passes you buy here is my suggestions Cuba - Very nice females who hate cuban men cuz they are abusive as hell. Problem is they are really shelted from the world and usually very domesticated. You can marry them takes a little time but is possible Costa Rica - Little more aggressive attitudes but tropical mentality and layed back attitude - Panama - Same as Costa Rica Mexico - quiet and very domesticated and carting That is the only four I have tested, but i have friends that have gone to the Orient and married there, DO NOT FALL FOR ANY ONLINE TRICKS, WATCH YOUR WALLET. it is possible to have a mail order bride that really does care for you and you for her. I have girfriends all over those areas that i have met and still stay in touch with, If i chose to marry one of them I am confident i could. Friend of mine is marrying one from Cuba as we speak going thru the paperwork now. The difference is these girls are looking for a guy who will care for them, They then will care for you and the relationship begins to build. Just easier to find a spouse when you are in a area where they want a Amercian Man. So get ready to buy there daddy a goat for trade! Ok that was maybe a little to much

Great Job keep it up

Feels good doesn't it Congratulations

Waking a sleeping Giant..... The reports are that the truckers are getting supplies to the stores. People are stocking the shelves all night and letting old people shop first. Carnival Cruise line told Trump “We can match those big Navy Hospital ships with some fully staffed cruise ships” GM said hold our cars and watch this; we can make those ventilators where we were making cars starting next week. Women and children are making homemade masks and handing out snacks to truckers. Restaurants and schools said, We’ve got kitchens and staff; we can feed kids.” Churches are holding on-line services and taking care of their members and community. NBA basketball players said, “Hold our basketballs while we write checks to pay the arena staff.” Construction companies said, “Here are some masks for the medical staff and doctors”. Breweries are making sanitizer out of the left-over ingredients. We thought we couldn’t live without Baseball, NASCAR, NBA or going to the beach, restaurants or a bar. Instead, we’re trying to keep those businesses open by ordering take-out. What communist China didn't count on was America saying "Hey, hold my beer and watch this." I think a Japanese Admiral in the middle of the Pacific said it best in 1941, "I think we have awakened a sleeping giant." Give us a few more weeks (maybe months) and we will be doing much better! Look at your community and the activities going on!

Hang in there, This is just a speed bump on the journey, You are getting healthy and the reward will be worth it. Try and look forward to the end result and get thru these rough times. Good luck and best wishes

Here I go again My Favorit post So lets just say MATH THIS AND MAKE IT FACTUAL So you are lossing about 20 pounds a month. March 3-26 So In 3 months you will lose about 60 In Six months 120 in one year 240 in 10 years 2400 STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF ALL THE TIME! This is a journey to get healthy not a sprint to lose weight. Enjoy it and yes you are doing well

Ok Above is the best thing you said! I doubt any of us can figure out your medical issues on a chat room. But i will tell you this, Nobody can debate with me that losing all the weight and getting healthy wont help! I had all kinds of quirky medical issues including heart issues. I have never felt better and most of my medical problems are gone now. All I did was get healthy and slim

I would call you doctor! Nothing I have seen here before, but all of us are different. You body is healing and the protein shakes may not be setting well

its a life sentence, However it may not be 60 You can do a hydration test and back it down a little. For example I only drink 48-50 oz now a day and I am fine and hydrated. But this is a long way out Many months. Also if you hate water as much as I do, eat a soup for lunch every day it has water, Suck on a popsickle lots of water in that, offsets the drinking it a little

I just want to take a moment and tell all of you who are struggling and off work and the family stress from this Calm down. And why do i say this? Simple As a medium size business owner who pushed himself so hard and stressed out 8 years back! So what happened to me? I ended up in Naples Community Hospital Cardio Ward laying on a table and wondering if i would ever see my kids again, who would take care of my parents, who would get the kdis thru college. You get the point I am telling you all this as a survivor of stress! Stress Kills and during these times do what i am doing! Focus on your health - Its free. Help those who are having problems cooping with these times - Its free! Look around the house and finish a project that you started and have not finished. Turn off the dang TV! I played Monopoly last night with my two teanagers, Was a blast. No Tv No PHones - I currently am losing about 8-15k a week in my business, I will survive this - But one thing for sure I will not let the stress of it Kill me! Been there got a break once, No reason to chance it again These are the facts Waking a sleeping Giant..... The reports are that the truckers are getting supplies to the stores.

Just posted this a week ago, You can blow past your doctors guess and reach any healthy weight. Mix up your calorie intake One day go 1000 next go 500. Also Fasting works do a 10 hour fast then eat healthy then go to bed and fast another 8 while sleeping, You have to trick your body back into burning instead of storing. Its rather easy to do- For me the fasting broke it loose again.

Too hard on the tummy right now but you are close, I was allowed to eat bars at 6 weeks, But very slowly - Aj

For all of you who have seen me post I am bat poop crazy about vitamins and supplements. However i struggled big time with this and had to self teach myself. What i kept finding out with every blood test is this, No matter what you take every week will be different, Mainly because your body uses them differently. The big thing is the whole foods you eat along with the vitamins! However this may apply more to males - I hate veggies and fruit, Love the protein, love the shakes, I must get 10 PMs a week form here asking for help. So doing this post. If you look at all my past posts you will see many posts on this. Today I got a PM from here with a poor guy that is so damm confused 3 weeks post op I had to get his email addy to help him. I am not a long time WLS member but there are a ton here. This is a simple outline of my Vit and Mineral Plan Morning - Mulit Vitamin (Fusion) and Protien shake with GNC 50 powder Late Morning- Juice Plus Bar Lunch - Some sort of animal, GNC Mulit Vitamin and Juice plus chewable Early afternoon - Trail mix, and protien bar or juice plus bar Dinner - Healthy balanced meal Bed time - Juice plus capsule and Fusion chewable I Currently use Core Fitness thanx to Jake on this site, and Amazon for all my other products and http://ad98557.juiceplus.com Watch these Videos on this site, It is the closest thing to a post WLS plan. Great information on there! Now Do it and educate youself. Ya they are promoting there products but the information is great I became a member to the Juiceplus group after meeting one of our members here who swore by it, and I was so dang confused post op, These llittle veggie capsules do really help in the blood work game. FYI i do not get paid by any of above But after going thru a billion dollars in crap products this is what i used and most i currently are using

Stand up a few times while eating really helps me out

Hang in there Keep on track and sorry about that!

Well you gals Covered the heck out of this one! Im getting old and male so my hair is going bye bye all the time!

NO NO NO NO NO You are not hungry that is you mind messing with you! Take it slow and stay on course if not you will be paying for it big time! Also you i assume are early in this, Get away from the feeding freenzy in your house, Go read a book while the others eat, Go outside and sit on the deck. it will take some time for you to whip you minds ass and not be bothered by food around you, but at this point way to early and it will mess with your head. Good news ahead, eventually about 4 months you will not be bothered with seeing food or around it.

Go for it you can eat all the fruit you want! My nutra girl said pound fruit and veggies all you want
