Hi all I noticed there are several people being sleeved on the 1st. Introduce yourselves and let's motivate each other and keep in touch! I'll go first. I'm 5'5" HW 242

CW 232 GW 160. I am extremely nervous about the procedure, but I am also excited.

When do you guys start having purée foods. I am finally able to come Monday and I'm excited lol

I already get puree. I get soft foods starting this weekend. Which I don't really understand. I have been told to stay away from carbs but some of the soft foods they list are Mac n cheese & oatmeal. ????

I was told soft oatmeal is fine but never heard of Mac and cheese. Every doctor is different I guess. Hope you enjoy ☺️

I'm scared????... don't want to introduce carbs back yet. I went through carb withdrawals and that wasn't cute. I felt horrible. ???? And there isn't enough fiber in our diets to support that quantity of cheese. ????????

Yea. Don't try anything ur not comfortable with is my advice.

I miss food and nice meals. And my family is asking me constantly why I did this and kinda trying to make me feel bad that I'm missing out. Dumbasses... On the upswing, getting close to my 64oz of fluids daily. progress, not perfection

Unfortunately sometimes even people that love us like family still dont like change. So its possible that subconsciously they want you to stay overweight because they are used to it and that might be why you are getting the negative comments. But just stay positive and remember that you did the right thing for you and you will be much happier and healthier in the future. You wont even miss those big meals.

Don't feel discouraged. One step at a time. You have many more days to try again. ☺️

Soooo... I'm supposed to weigh myself and track it today but I feel swollen and bloated and don't want to get on the scale and risk being heavier than I was at the beginning of the week.????

I hated clear liquids but I want to go back just so I can't gain any weight. ????

I feel like a lunatic. ????????

17 pounds down!

I have been freed to introduce pureed foods. I just can't come to terms to put my meat in a blender. What are you guys doing for the pureed stage. Lol

I couldn't do it. I pureed soups.

My hubby actually puréed a burger patty he had made with beef broth and it was delicious. I think he added an ounce of low fat cheese.

I've moved to days 15 - 30 which for me is soft fish, soups, puréed chicken and meat, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, deli meat, eggs and string cheese. Plus all the other stuff.

I had salmon for dinner tonight at a restaurant and it was amazing. And so little made me so full!
