Wow this site is great! I am def gonna do some of these recipes!

I kno how u feel! It is starting to set in that this is real. My hubby and I are doing this together so I worry for myself and him. We have to stay positive and plan ahead. Have u bought anything for post op yet?

I have really tried to avoid but we work in small quarters...I really haven't told everyone about my surgery and I am just going to politely let everyone know I'm cutting back on bad food. Thanks for your support thru this. My surgery is July 11 and I have been cutting back but I have also fell off the bandwagon. I hav practically ate everywhere I have always liked one last time and I've made good choices. I am so ready to start this journey out with the old in with the new! For the puréed stage I'm still having trouble with my menu, so far I have chicken salad, tuna, soups, puréed any other ideas? Thanks guys!

Wow y'all look great ladies!!! Like I don't even remember size 12! Can't wait!! I have seen so many people get like super small. Like what I'd u get to a point where u are comfortable and healthy can u stop losing weight??

That's great! I am happy that this is going to help u and also will help me also with blood pressure and being prediabetic. This is a journey all of us have our reasons of why to have this surgery. I wish u much success next week, and a speedy recovery!

Ok I don't kno why I didn't think of that but no dressing right? Or like a vinaigrette

Great! Keep us updated!

Congrats!!! I was so happy they approved me too! What insurance do u have? Also if ur only 197 r u doing lapband or gastric? Gastric I thought was if ur at least 100lbs over weight?

Well ask ur dr wat u can do. My dr says nothing strenuous for about 3wks but u can start out walking. Maybe hand weights 5-7lbs working ur arms

Hello! Just ask away! Mine is July also and I've been researching thru YouTube and this site. U will find successful people on YouTube and not so successful too. U almost can see where they messed up and where they are doing good. I feel like sagging skin can be much less if u really workout alot during the first 6 months when u lose the most that is something I've learned. Stick to the excersising but the time where u lose the most is do important.

That was a great idea for chicken or beef broth and ice cube trays(genius) I am def gonna try this! Thanks for the tips!

Kizzy im so happy for u!! My hubby and I are scheduled in June and July so we r tryin to get our minds as well as our bodies ready for the changes. Can any one give me a typical day meal when ur on the puréed diet. I'm having trouble with how much liquid vs puréed food to eat. Plus protein intake....we have to fill out 3 days of eating plan for our puréed diet and I'm so lost. I want to make it different every day so I don't get bored. Has anyone puréed tilapia or like ground turkey(like taco meat) if so was it decent? Thanks I'm so happy I found this place!

Good luck! My date is July 11 and I had the same thought...how will I look skinny!! Got a little freaked out but I'm sure we will look great!! I will pray for you to have a speedy recovery!! New beginnings!!

I rny crew! Im so excited found out yesterday and today my hubby and I have our approval for gastric bypass surgery end of jun and early July!! I have already started on excersise and eating better and less so it won't be so hard. Believe me I am getting a round of all my favs(red lobster) one sat run...lol. Our insurance is Cigna and it was quick!

Thanks!! We r ready! Could anyone tell me how u did on purée diet? If u did it for the full 6wks?

Oh no anjel It's Mel! I sure hope u feel better soon I'm worried for u! Let me know how it goes.
