Hey everyone going through Kaiser Richmond!!

Where are you in the process?

wow everyone is back to back that's wonderful. So Lee did you see Liz yet? Who's your surgeon?

Ok did good today. I had my salad for lunch and then dinner was a hamburger patty no mayo so I got full right away...

I guess that's the plan.

someone enlighten me, seriously. when can I sneak and have some fries???? its my biggest missed food right now....

Tamra you're taking after Candra making cakes right after surgery. No I didn't feel like making anything I couldn't eat LOL

I must say I took the gas x strips and they worked well for me. So you may want to try them since they are at most stores.

I am living off GAS X STRIPS trust me LOL

Good Lawd! no fries either

LMAO TOM is coming and I am craving fries like they are going outta stype ;(

Tamra - back away from the fries! This is the time period when you will lose a large chunk of weight if you play the game right. Plenty of time for fries once you hit banster hell LOL

NO FRIES TAMRA!!! I JUST HAD TO SAY THAT CUZ...THEY GOT ON ME FOR MY CHICKEN WINGS!!! LOL

PAT-Happy you are now banded and doing well.

LOL I can't wait 9 months. I will have to have some soon.

I was reading stage 3. I advance there feb 3. Are mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC safe or do I eat them by themselves?

Hello All,

Hope everyone is doing well. It's good to see you all online posting. I think I saw Donna few pages away :-), I have not been to meeting yet and I have pledged to come to the next one. Donna I hope to see you at my place.

Heather you are welcome, i always enjoy our hangouts.

It seems like Feb 6th is our hang out day. How is 4p.m. for everyone this way it can be a dinner. Since almost everyone is doing protein, this is what the menu is going to look like:

-Baked chicken breast and thighs with Pesto sauce

-Mixed Veggies

-Salad

-Baked red potatoes with onions and bell pepper

-Eggplant stew and Tofu for the Vegetarians.

How does this sound to everyone??

For those of you on liquids I can add soup to the menu (clam chowder?). I would love for all you guys to come and enjoy yourselves. You are welcome to bring anything that your heart desires. I make plenty food so don't worry.

I am super excited! :thumbup:.

LOL I can't wait 9 months. I will have to have some soon.

Tamra you are too funny LOL, girl no to both. Candra told you this is the time that you can drop big, I dropped 20lbs first three weeks. NO KFC, try and hold out or if you do very little, mashed potatoes and gravy are sliders so beware! Chicken and fish were y buddies for the longest and they need to be again.

Ohhhh okay gotcha. The puree stage is alittle confusing to me. I don't know. I guess I will do chicken pureed with broth or gravy.....I will need some ideas to last on that stage

Don't worry all I won't slip and have fries I have worked to hard to get where I am :thumbup:

Reggie wish I could make it that day!!! Hope you all have fun that food sounds soooo yummy omg LOL

Also really quick how long till I can sleep flat on my back or my sides??? I am still sleeping half proped up with pillows because if I try to lay flat I feel my port pulling the muscle....
