smooth meat? sounds like baby food meats, liver sausage (but that is very high in fat so don't do that) some of the baby food meats may be good? Idk

Ok, this may be wrong and I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but these threads sound like they are the same person writing it, but just changing the names. . . whoever writes these sound like "they" are very, very angry for whatever reason and are trying to discourage anyone else and/or are trying to destroy another person's life. . . if they are horrible they will eventually destroy their own lives, I am very sorry if these are indeed genuine people who have had a bad turn with their surgeries. . . but it was after all you who chose this hospital and this physician . . . they didn't pick you . . . sorry your surgeries didn't work, or you were waiting for a miracle and it wasn't want you expected . . . but maybe a bit more research would have been needed on your part. . . always check out your physician and the hospital beforehand. . . .

Tiff, I think all moms think their kids look sickly if they don't have enough "meat" on them for their liking. . . goodness my mom would have a total cardiac stroke if she even knew i was having this surgery on tuesday! She thinks fat people are healthy happy people, boy is she ever wrong. . . you look absolutely lovely, you don't look 'gaunt' or sickly. . . goodness. . . you look fantastic. . . mom's are paranoid i think, sometimes so are husbands

joyfuljoy, if it helps any, i am being sleeved on tuesday and am just a bit freaked out. . . this is very natural, this is my 18th major surgery and I've made it every time. . . i know what i need and what the doc's need to do, they listen and do for me as i request. . . but i freak a bit at each surgery. . . i think it would be really worrisome if some one was like "one yeah, this is cool, I'm not scared" . . . your just being normal sweetie. . . you'll be ok, it'll soon be over and then you'll be on your way back home and onto your journey toward thinness. . . . isn't that exciting? Best of luck to you and keep us infomed. . . .

gosh, can't wait to be cold! It'll be such a great NSV for me!

I really do well with EAS chocolate fudge from Costco. . . the only problem with them is they taste like watered down soy milk and seem to be never ending. . . 17oz lasts forever. . . (I'm not even sleeved yet) I really like soy milk, so this doesn't bother me, only it's like too watered down. . . tastes not too bad, and when you burp it's not bad either . . . it has 42g protein and 300 calories. . . so 2 shakes should do you and then the small protein meal at the end of the day. . .

Congratulations to you! You can do this, you've come this far just a bit further and you'll have it made!

Thank you! My girlfriend in Houston is banded as well and she has lost 60lb in 2 years. . .she is happy with her band too and says she has some issues with her loose skin and saggy parts. . . but then that must be something we're all going to have to deal with right? I'm 6'0 tall and hopefully will look lean and tall like you too. . . maybe I'll be brave enough to wear a cute bathing suit too! Inlaws live in Jamaica and all they have seen me in has been those fat girl one piece bathing suits. . . soooooo it'll be interesting. . :cursing:

Hi Donna, this has nothing to do with WLS, I just want to tell you that as a child growing up I lived in a town called Churchbridge, Saskatchewan. . . it's near Yorkton. . . we lived there for about 5 years then moved to Winnipeg. . where i lived til 1995 then moved over here to SA. . . just felt like sharing my story . . . :cursing:

Wow, you've been through it haven't you! hopefully this will be your last wls and you'll be happier . . . did you lose weight with the other procedures? How much. . .

Wow that is great Tiff, I will have quite a bit of loose skin but like the doc said, I drink alot of water so it shouldn't be too bad. . . I agree, I'll probably look better in clothes, and thank goodness, will be able to fit into a plane seat! That will be so amazing, no more extensions for me! We are going to go see my mother in law and family next Christmas, they only know me a huge, what a surprise they will have huh?

Hi all. . . is anyone out there very upset with their new look? I mean, you lost alot of weight and now you hate how you look? Loose skin, funky looking shape, very unhappy with the outcome?

ladylee! You are doing great! You know the saying "Slow and steady wins the race", well your winning the race! look how dang far you have come! From 400 - 202! That is amazing! You go Girl! Keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks for sharing that article!

You go girl! I don't think I have ever worn a 10. . . well maybe when I was born! Keep up the excellant work!

Hi Barbann! I'm being sleeved on the 29th as well, down the road from you in San Antonio! Good luck with your procedure! I'm sure we will both do great!

You are doing wonderfully! Keep up the excellent work! I had to laugh at you "8 zillion cookies" phrase! I love that . . . can see you working like a wild woman, flour flying, apron around your neck. . hair askew! hehehe. . Yes, you are very blessed, I too am doing alot of what if's right now. . (my surgery is on tuesday) . . but this is my 18th major surgery and I know that i'll be ok, but if the Lord wants me to come home, so be it, I've lived a great life and my daughter is set . . .i wouldn't worry about her, hubbie now is a different story, might need daughter to teach him how to properly balance the check book!:thumbup: . . . but in all reality, this isn't a easy surgery but I have put all my trust in my physician, anestheologist, and God. . . let the journey begin! Merry Christmas and may you and yours have a very Blessed New Year!

Congratulations on your engagement! You will definately look stunning in your wedding dress and the new skinny you! How exciting! 5 days before my surgery!

Wow, you guys are all doing so tremendously well! Keep up the great work! I'll be able to cheer my NSV's pretty darn soon! Surgery is next tuesday!

That is sooooo cute!

A very Merry Christmas to y'all and a very blessed New Year!

So are these hungry feeling with the growlies and all? You know like how it used to be? You'd get so hungry that you could puke? Tell me no, because that is not good. . I've not been sleeved yet, but every bit of news helps me. . .

Congratulations to you! I bet your excited! I was too in the beginning. . . it's always fun to know your date! Good luck and keep us posted!

Good luck Kermit! You'll do great. . . my surgery is next tuesday! Getting a pedicure done on Saturday and then buying my stuff on Sunday! Gotta drink good old magnesium citrate on Monday, poop myself to death, and then I'll join the rest of y'all. . . .

I hope all is ok with daughterinlaw's motherinlaw. . . we've not heard from her in a bit. .
