My favorite thing during the puree stage was to take a few meatballs; add some marinara sauce, spices, and parmesan; and puree it all together. It was basically like eating the meat sauce left on your plate after spaghetti.

@melsabells Yes, you will do wonderfully. Your doubts prove you’re human. I felt pretty secure about everything. Some anxiety the night before and during initial admitting at the hospital. Even then, I looked at my husband right before admitting, I rhetorically asked, “I really need this, right? I can’t lose weight any other way?” He said, “you need this.” I felt better after that. I struggle with generalized anxiety. You are going to live moment-to-moment through this process. There’s no doubt in my mind that you will get through this just fine. And, about the 1 lb. weight gain, don’t sweat it. Weight can shift 1or 2 lbs. and not actually be true weight gain. Sending love & light your way...☀️

Wow that is great advice and totally appreciate it.... thank you so much for the compliment.... you made my day!!![emoji847]

Congrats! Follow all the doc's rules and you'll do great!!!

That's great! See you over on the post-surgery weight-loss forum!

Only you know what you are feeling and if you are unable to drive, that’s a problem. My suggestion would be to call your surgeon first and let them know what is going on, they might just call in a prescription or they might want to meet you at the ER. Most docs want a heads up if there’s an issue. I hope you get relief soon.

I did this recently too. Actually had my 5 year old take them so I look a little taller than usual, but he got a lovely angle of my quadruple chin.

My VSG is April 16 and I am doing this too. But instead of mourning the food, I am looking for way to modify the recipe and incorporate it in my diet. If is an unhealthy recipe, I am looking to see if it is something to keep for special occasions down the road. You will be able to eat these foods again, but you will do it in a healthier way and with smaller portions. I think that is something to celebrate and look forward too.

Dang that's right around the old corner. Mine's on March 12th. They tell you bring comfortable, lose fitting clothing. I hate those hospital gowns to I am going to pack two pair of sweats and some tees.
