I'm so sick of puréed foods! I have been super creative because I love to cook but..... I just want to stick a fork in my meat and really chew. I'm having one of those days, I'm sure this rainy NYC weather isn't helping.

Stick to it!! Before you know it, you'll be chomping on a piece of chicken!!! Have a Popsicle and call it a night! Good luck

I have my sugar free Popsicle right next to me. I'm just staring at it hoping it magically turns into Popeyes!!! LOLLLLLL (mind you I hate Popeyes)

I loved to cook too. I hated pureed food as well. Time passes fast. I'm 15 months post op & seems like just the other day I was right where you are. Stay the course & you'll reap the rewards. I've lost 175 lbs. No longer Diabetic & insulin free. No more sleep apnea, no neuropathy, no high blood pressure or cholesterol. But you HAVE to make major changes. No fast food, no fried foods, no sweets, no sodas, etc. Lean grilled meats is your friend. chicken, turkey, or fish. Grilled vegetables. And I can't stress this enough. EXERCISE!! Get out and walk. Join a gym. You can do this. Its a struggle but worth all the sacrifices you'll make. Just take it one day at a time. Set short term goals
