Actually tasty, I added walnuts to it. Next time we try them I'm going to try the apple sauce substitute.

Not sure the calorie content, but only had 1"x1" square lol. But my 5yr old and fiancé enjoyed them.

Do NOT let them scare you. You need to make an informed decision that is right for you. Remember, most people who have a normal, successful post-op period don't post about it.

Yeah I hate all the crazy nazi like posts from people bashing others, preaching their doctors food guide, yelling at people over stupid stuff. It's surgery, yes there are risks and complication with every surgery. But my fiancé was right when he told me if my fear of death was the only thing holding me back from getting surgery then to do it, that I could die in a car crash driving to the doctor/work/grocery store. No day is promised to us.

I've had complications, stalls, sliming, dumping, slow weightloss, you name it. But I'm so grateful for this tool and am happy goofy and always willing to post something goofy, crazy or helpful :)

I'm a Lapland complication conversion to the sleeve who had raised my son on my own since birth. Im strong and don't let others keep me down. And one day I'll make a healthy hot bride and wife, and ex wife to make my ex's baby momma crazy lol.

I'm all about support and being there for each other in this journey.

I greatly value your positive feed back and reassurance...This has been an easy process for me from beginning pre-op appointment until wait for insurance approval. I prayed if this surgery is for me then God will make the process quick and easy...and that it has been! Also I decided to go with another surgeon because the hospital my pcp is affiliated with didn't have availability until the end of January....omg! And her I am getting sleeved middle of Jan...smh and lol Yes, I agree that with surgery complications are possible so is with everyday living... On 1/26 I will turn 40and I can't continue living in this fat shell and getting sick from all my obesity complications....so with that said Praise God for this journey! Thanks to all

Yummers! nother great one is take a box of cake mix, any brand any flavor but chocolate or spice works best, add one can of pumpkin and bake according to box. Nothing else! Can make into cake or muffins. Pumpkin really bumps up Fiber and tastes sooooooooooooo yummy. About 98 cals per muffin and sooooo moist.

Thank you for posting this recipe. Did you cook your own black Beans or did you get them from a can?

Here are a few other places to find good recipes.

And here is my own personal recipe for a healthier seafood salad.

4 Imitation crab sticks (you can use real crab but not sure of the conversion, maybe 1/2 cup)

6-8 baby shrimp (chop if you like)

1/2 celery stalk (2" piece) diced

1 teaspoon (approximately) diced onion

1 wedge Laughing Cow cheese (I use all different flavors depending on my mood)

Mash all ingredients together. I just eat it with a fork. Sometimes I have a few Simple Truth Parmesean Pop chips with it.

This is my go to lunch at work most days. :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
