Your doctor should have provided you with that info. If not you really should get. It from them probably it is in your paperwork somewhere . You need to know your doctors guidelines for every stage. We can tell you what we do but it might not be what your doctor requires. Everyone and every doctor seems to be different.

I have seen some people who do a purée before they do mushies. I never blended after full liquids.

That should help it also will probably make you sleepy which could be a really good thing. Feel better.

Try not to weigh yourself for a while except at your doctor visits it will make you crazy. Congrats on surgery.

I so agree with you . I would not weigh until doctor visits for a bit. It will just make you crazy.

Sounds like you are doing great. Healing take a toll on the body. Just be careful and be patient.

Cool idea thanks for sharing!

Congrats on starting the process and taking the first step. What you are feeling is normal and everyone's experiences are different. Take some time and read through the forum. If you have specific questions feel free to post them as well. Most important once you start the process is have patience. For some people the process is really fast but for most there are a lot of steps and hoops to jump through. You are on the right path. Best of luck to you.

I got dressed today and all the sudden it is like my body changed over night. The shirt I wore last week that was big is now huge. The pants I wore yesterday are hanging some on my belly. I also notice more of a waist. I have lost a total of 95.2 and about 50 of it is from end of last October. Any one else have experience like this?

My reply is to the juicing comment, in my opinion it is one of the worst things you an do. The band is meant to be used with high protein solids. Juices will not keep you satisfied and have a lot of sugar. I have never seen this suggested before.

Dag sorry cant delete on iPad

Sorry just reread my post the peanut butter was for the vita mix. It can pulverize anything.

Low sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce and anything like those are still extremely high in sodium.

Splenda should be fine but sounds good either way. How is the sodium?

Awesome!! Way to go!!

well.... I have a vita mix. It is the King daddy of all blenders and it costs as much. You can even blend veggies up and keep blending until they heat up for soup. They sell it at Costco and online. I have heard the bullet is a good choice. You can put in peanuts nothing else and it makes the most amazing peanut butter or any other nuts.

I add sf ff pudding mix to my shakes. I was able to do any except for pistachio. Ask your Dr. Also some people drink Isopure. You can look it up on line. You also can add Pb2 which is like peanut flour to get a peanut butter taste. Good luck on your surgery!!

Wow you look amazing and I love love your story. Thanks for sharing and welcome back!

I get a pain in the left side of my neck sometimes and the back of my left shoulder. I am four years out. Usually I take gas x and try to walk around. A lot of times it means I have had at least a bite too many.

Thanks so much for sharing!

It really does sound like you are stuck.
