Flying today - this NSV makes me so happy!

They'll basically give you the standard speach on what foods you should have, what to avoid, etc. Also will probably be a list of foods to avoid altogether after surgery, the stages of what foods you'll be allowed to have, protein requirements, vitamins to take, etc. Journals really are good to see exactly how many calories are in certain foods/meals. Even some "healthy" options can be loaded with calories or carbs that aren't needed. I've always loved salads, but if I pile on croutons, use regular salad dressing, and other toppings my "healthy" salad just became as bad a Big Mac meal. It's always tough to look at a food journal the first time. Just remember the chances are they've seen way worse!

hot tea and chicken broth both work for me. the steam rising to my my nose is helpful as well as relaxing. hope you can nap/sleep - what could it hurt? handing you some kleenex - now BLOW!!! sending good/healthful wishes your way. - kathy

I’m yet to meet my nutritionist .. I should go! She suggests 6/7 meals a day which is hard with my schedule at work. My calorie intake a day is 800 or less

It is hard and there are no other words for it. Mix up your protein. I love the unjury chicken broth about to have one now! Guac, hummus, cheese they are your puree friends. Hang in there!

Recipes. I used recipes. There are lots of recipes out there for purée stage when it comes to bariatric post surgery diet if you haven’t looked. I also spent time planning recipes for the next stage.

Well. I am super confident when I am out, Because pre surgery I was invisible, now I constantly get attention and people are so much nicer to me now. People constantly say I dont realise how pretty I am and its nice people being attracted to me. But its all superficial when I go home and I am on my own, though I know i have changed it all feels FAKE, I still feel I look the same sometimes apart from when I wear my old clothes. So I find how people are towards me odd. Since the weightloss though I love dressing glam but I sometimes want to be ignored at the same time lol I dont like the saggy stomach/boobs but better than being sick and unwell and bigger. ** Dont get me wrong though my true friends are still my true friends from when I was bigger, keep your eyes open with newer friends

Clusie on YouTube, she’s hilarious and very informative

Any chance of meeting someone at a support group

So I was supposed to start my liquid diet tomorrow. However I have a cold. My surgeon postponed my surgery due to the cold. I’m soo upset. He said it could be up to 6 weeks from now. [emoji20][emoji20][emoji20]
