Congratulations!

You look amazing - you are so cute! Congratulations!

I also have been very fortunate, no nausea, or any of the other side effects. I was a huge coffee drinker and lost my taste for it, and mostly prefer savory foods vs. sweet.

You are adorable! Congratulations!

Awesome!

That's amazing - congratulations!

Bless your heart. Fear is natural. But your courage has gotten you this far - you have a surgery date. Use that courage and the courage that can come from your loved ones to get through it. I wish you well!

On myfitnesspal.com, there is a food database where you can pull up just about anything you can think of. There is a recipe feature where you can input your recipe ingredients along with the servings and it calculates the nutrition information for you. You can save the recipe to your personal account or also load it into the database for everyone that is registered to see.

I see we had the same surgeon and mt VSG was a week before yours! If you review your binder, there are a lot of helpful suggestions in there. chips are not on the diet and could be a slippery slope - stay strong! I'm in soft stage too - usually I do a scrambled egg with cheese for Breakfast, either tuna salad, or some other soft meat for lunch, and cottage cheese with something added like taco seasoning for dinner. Based on the NUT's suggestions I am having a Protein shake with milk for mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack. Today I had salmon for lunch - delicious! Good luck!

You look amazing! Congratulations!

When I have a craving for something I can't have (I'm in soft foods phase) I come on this board and look at the before and after photos. It is so inspiring and brings me back to why I am doing this. Hold on to your pureed phase, you can do pureed ham salad - one of my favorites from that phase.

Congrats! I'm off fly buried and I'm hoping to be off metformin and lisinopril soon.

Congratulations!

No one's selfishness can take away what you have done. I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!

I would love to be a size 12. I am 5'8" and have a large frame.

Congratulations - so inspiring - especially since our starting weight was so similar!

You look AWESOME! And I love that color on you!

Welcome! I got the surgery for the same reasons as you - though I'm 10 years older. I have a six year old daughter I want to keep up with, see off to college, get married, and grandbabies - all in due time of course. I haven't regretted my surgery! Good luck!

Four weeks out and down a total of 43 pounds (18 before surgery).

That's amazing! Congratulations!

Wow, congratulations! You look fabulous! We have a similar body shape so maybe it helps me imagine what I will look like when I lose more.

My NUT said 3 months out. I am about 4 weeks out. I would love a spinach and tomato salad with gorgonzola and some balsamic!

I'm on purees, and in the past half hour I just ate one blue cheese stuffed olive. One. I chewed it really well. My only "cheat" so far.

Congratulations!

You look fabulous! Congratulations!
