I went to see my nutritionist and she informed me that I could have chili during th mushy stage as long as i put it through the food processor. So I plan to make a pot tonight. Blend it up and freeze it in ice cubes.

Hi all I am new to the site. Joined yesterday. I am on my third day of my Pre-op liquids. I am scheduled to b banded Jan 22 at Rush by Dr. Meyers. I am excited and nervous. I just don't want that sagging skin that my friend with GB has. I was told if I work out drink plenty of Water and lift weights it won't be as bad. I am not flabby as it is. I am very solid and firm. I welcom your thoughts. Also cna somebody tell me how to do my progress chart on my signature. Thanks

yeah i tried many when i was doing Atkins. I like Ensure and Boost only

I am on day 2 of my 10 day pre op and I am not doing good at all. I ate yesterday and had popcorn today. I actually wasn't sure what I could or could not have. I mean I am not clear. I didn't plan and when u don't plan u plan to fail. :faint: So I have read a few journals and have become inspired :clap2: . So I will be going to get some protein shots for now and after surgery. I have to get my vitamins too. I meet with the nutritionist tomorrow. So I plan to do better. I am excited and nervous at the same time.

Today was a lot better. I had my appointment with the nutritionist. I was able to get a better understanding of the liquids I can and can't have. I am excited that I can have chili during the pureed stage. I plan on cooking my soup and chili tomorrow and freezing it. I am having trouble finding protein powder though. don't really want any flavored bcause will be adding it to my food. i am now a little more optimistic :clap2: about the surgery. Still nervous about having extra skin bcause i cannot afford that surgery and insurance won't cover it. All I can do is : :scared:
