I'm so excited to be able to chew again, is that weird??? Possibly, but it's my truth!. I'm honestly feeling better then I would of ever imagine lost about 18 lbs this far! Now I'm excited to get back on track and begin the rest of my life! My question for you guys is.....Does anyone have any simply recipes that I can use during pureed week??? I'm a single mom already preparing meals for my 7 year old son, so Im looking for quick recipes for myself. Beware Ive been a picky eater since my youth, so not to sound snobby but if the suggestions could stay away from: pork(which really does matter anyway at this point),eggs(but I'm willing to try if I get a fabulous recipe) and NO poultry of any kind. My doctor like plenty of your's only offered me the options of tuna fish(not so thrilled but do able), oatmeal and grits(YAY excited), soft cereal(in milk), and fruit in 100% juice(another good 1 for me). All and any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks so much ladies, but if you have given me great ideas!

After searching I also have some other question, sorry my doctor had an emergency surgery so my 2 week checkup was moved to next week February 20th. But any-who Im getting confused because I see threads on here speaking of eating lunch meat, a salads, crackers, meatballs, and cucumber at this stage (Week 3, which per my surgeon is puréed week)! Is this normal 3 week post opt diet?????

You look great!

Did you get my email! I sent you some pics I hope it helps!

Honestly I'm miss food BADLY, but satisfied with my decision to go thru with the surgery! Now this is the secret I've been smoking cigarette! I KNOW AM A BAD GIRL!!! I was a smoker pre surgery but I also lost 43 lbs prior to going into surgery on 1/31 but I couldn't give up both of my vices at once (food and cigarettes)! I try to smoke less than 5 cigs a day but honestly how much damage am I doing to myself by smoking???

I lost 43 during the whole process not within 14 days post opt! I starting working on my weight the day I left the consultation and from Sept 11 til Jan 31, 2013 I lost 43 lbs! To be honest I don't do pics because I have shared my decision to have the surgery with anyone but 1 close friend and my mother and sister! But I will email you my pics of the my weight loss prior to surgery and of course ill keep you updated with the weight loss pic after surgery but I don't believe I lost to much because its only been 4 days!

We were in the same boat, I'm also 30 years old, I weighted 303 but lost 43 prior to the surgery! I've always been comfortable on my skin, and honestly I was consider with my self esteem after the surgery because honestly I've always been a confident girl regardless of my weight! But honestly girl even 4 days post op I'm so excited! You'll be great and you know what I think about extra skin but you need to make sure your getting all your calcium because that helps with the extra skin and a good workout!

Good luck sweetheart, I just had surgery on Jan 31, I have my good days and bad but I've never been better! Wishing you all the best.

I know how you feel I just got the call on Thursday that I was approved and I also got a surgery date of 12/31/12. I'm sick to my stomach with nerves! So much stuff is going thru my head! I'm on overload!!!!!! But congrats to you
