I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on October 6th (started the process on March 1st, 2015.) I'd love to have a "surgery buddy" who is having the procedure the same day or very close to the date. Anyone interested?

Wow Thisfathasgot2go, looks like you lost a lot on you pre-op plan. Congratulations on all you have lost.

Hey Ragedddy! My name is Amanda. I was sleeved October 6th since Sept 17th I have lost 19 pounds..welcome to the team!

Have any of you added any spice in your soups? Like pepper?

Thank you. I can't tell you how much the 3 months mandatory health education classes I took with Kaiser helped me see the error of my eating and sedentary ways. I just started walking 30 minutes a day and limiting my calories to 1200-1400 a day with healthy, protein rich foods. I consider my self an educated, smart woman, but I was eating out and making poor eating choices. Plus, they weighed us every week and I had to turn in my food logs, and it was embarrassing to me to gain weight or show poor choices on my log. It shamed me to do better.

I was also sleeved on 10/5...still sore but getting better everyday. I go tomorrow for my post op checkup and hopefully get clearance for soups/purees. I have lost 11 pounds.

Ummm anyone tried to eat the baby food for your puréed foods? Some baby food is really yummy and the jars come in different sizes so your not having to make a bunch and there's no waste.

I still have 7 days before I can get to the soft food stage to try soft fruits and veggies, but I am not considering baby food. I am gonna use the real thing.

Good to know they are enjoyable to you and that they are an option to consider for quick and fast.
