I know what you mean. I'm in pre-op liquids mostly and I stay on here or on Pinterest looking at the bariatric recipes! When you try something that is good, please send us a post. You can be our Guinnea Pig. LOL

My surgery is scheduled for November 17th, two weeks from today. Man, that sounds scarry! LOL Nice to meet you too. I am going out on a limb and assume that is your daughter in the pic with you. She is a beautiful little girl and you "marked" her well because she looks just like you.

Well wishes for your upcoming surgery!!! It's a tough journey, with lots of up and downs, but so worth it. Just remember to roll with the punches babe...there's plenty of them! But you'll be fine!

Yes, that's my daughter :) thank you so much!! she's the baby of 4 and only girl. That photo was at Christmas 2 years ago...shes 15 now and a sophomore in highschool

:( yes, she resembles me quite a bit, fortunately she didn't get my side of the family genes where her figure is concerned. I wasnt heavy as a child/teenager/young adult either, but I was definitely "curvy" and I always knew I'd have trouble if I didn't watch. She takes after my husbands mother. She's very dainty and petite in every way. I love that she'll never have to worry about obesity.

That's exactly how I feel! Physically, I'm not hungry, but I don't feel well. I feel malnourished and I feel like my body is screaming "EAT SOMETHING, I'M SLOWLY DYING!" This full liquids phase has been really hard on me, after spending 2 weeks pre op on basically the same diet. I'm ready for some real food, even if it's baby food texture.

Yep! I also had the runs for 3 days & that certainly didn't help! I was in my post-op for 3+ weeks because insurance took so long. Good news is I'm down 10.5 in 6 days and 25.5 overall ????

I just past the liquid phase! Let me tell you that Beans have never tasted so good in my entire life lol. I added all kinds of spices. Then after two baby spoon size bites the thrill was over because I was full. :( It was the shortes in heaven experience ever. LOL good luck with the soft phase.

@@Jake B. LOL! Your reply made me giggle out loud..I can totally see food being anti-climactic now...forever. It's kinda sad cause MAN! I LOVE FOOD! I love cooking it and I love eating it, but I'm so excited to know I'm on my way to a LONGER healthier life. (I can't help that I'm still gonna miss food...)

This is so funny, I was thinking the same thing today! LOL I made DD a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch today and she only ate half. Boy, was I eyeing the uneaten half!!! I have my 1 week follow up tomorrow so I'm hoping to be able to start full liquids tomorrow or Wednesday. I am going to devour some Cream of Wheat!!! LOL

      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? 🤷‍♀️
