I don't think so. You can find all kinds of already puréed foods. If you think about it you'll be eating about 2 ounces of food three times a day - that's about 80 ounces in 2 weeks- not worth buying an expensive blender. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 192 GW 135

im waiting for approval from Cigna too.. I don't have sleep apnea either... My BMI is over 40 too... no major health issues but high blood pressure and heart disease runs in my family on both sides

I'm so happy for you and you look very happy and not miserable. And.... beautiful! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I have and it does work! But I've also incorporated a small amount of carbs to my puréed and that's helped a lot Lapband placed: 8/2011 Lapband removed: 3/2017 VSG: 8/2/2017

Hello. I had sleeve on May 31. So glad I did. I'm feeling great and alot more active. I've had 3 people at work approach me with questions saying they've considered the surgery but didn't know anyone who went through it. I'm glad I did.

Yes: today is the first day of my pre-op diet and I've just had my very first protein shake ever. After all I've read on here, it was better than I expected! Yes, I had the indulgent "final" meals. Now it's time to follow the plan and change my life. I love to cook and to eat and don't eat fast food or a lot of junk--just too many carbs, too many fats. One of the things I've realized is that there really won't be anything off-limits for life in terms of the sleeve--but there are things that SHOULD be off-limits for the sake of my health. I'm okay with that: maybe I'll miss bread and mashed potatoes, but are they really worth the diabetes, ,knee pain, high blood pressure, etc.? NO. Hang in there, Lk664 . . . and keep focusing on how much better your life will be in the future.

This kinda happened to me. I visited my Aunts this summer, hadn't seen them for years. Last time I did see them, I weighed 40 pounds more than this time. First thing they said was, "You never change". Which is better than "You gained weight", but was still surprising to me. It's like.. no.. since last time I saw you, I gained 15 more pounds, then cut out 75% of my stomach and have lost 55 pounds. Thanks! Of course both of THEM never change. (I'm the only fat one in the family).

Im glad im not the only one! Seems like people on here are progressing faster than my surgeon recommended for me and its depressing lol and I feel your pain. I started liquids on July 17th, Surgery on July 31st and cant start pureed foods until August 21st.... 5 weeks of boring liquids. We just gotta keep chugging along and I know itll be worth it!

I'm almost vegan, I use Dr. Schulze 's (herbdoc.com) protein shake. It doesn't tastes the best, it's mostly made of nuts and other good stuff, Block I mix it with banana and strawberry or blueberry, or whatever I like.

I agree with everyone above! I'm 5'6" and weighed 220 when I got my sleeve on Nov 20th. My insurance wouldn't cover it for another year, so I went to Mexico and had it done. I'm now 185! It's amazing! Although I was barely above a BMI of 36, I was miserable and in really bad shape medically and physically. I decided I wanted it and no one was going to tell me different. To be honest, My post op surgery experience was not what I expected - it was pretty tough, but well worth it! I feel so much better physically - and just looking better has changed my whole perspective in life. I'm not going to sit at home and eat myself to death - I'm getting out and living it up!!! Everyday I feel better and better! Praise God!!! :-)
