I am in my "soft food, puréed food" stage and was wondering if anyone had some good recipes!? It kinda grosses me out to think about pureeing meats down to baby food consistency so any ideas would be amazing! Thanks Jules

Dear lord brickhouse!!! I hope your ok! And id love to have a support group I can go to thats not during the week bc of my work schedule! Please keep me updated

I have cdphp and they approved both surgeries super fast. Not only that but they then called me afterwards to follow up on my care and see if there was anything they can do. Amazing!

Thats awesome. .. they won't do both surgeries at the same time?

Diva!! I had my band removed and went to sleeve dec 30th! I had the same issues with my band. The meats and proteins I needed to eat I couldn't tolerate. The weight I lost with my band I contribute to starving myself and not the band. Im happy that thing is out of me!

Really? I dont have any issues with foods. So weird. And kyle is doing freaking awesome! Im very jelous lol

Kris it's exciting!! It gets worse as it gets closer with the nerves thing but afterwards it's seriously like really? This is what I was scared of? Seriously? And if you need anything we all are of great support around here I reckon!

Why hello there! I don't have much to report. I go for my 3 month follow up tomorrow and will get my vitamin levels and blood work results. I have no issues with foods at all which bothers me BC at least if I had an issue I'd be able to avoid certain things. NOPE!! Still haven't had a salad yet but I think after tomorrow that's the first thing I'm hitting up!! On my scale at home I am down 37 lbs in 3 months. Kyle has really helped me a lot, I was getting so damn frustrated from being at a stall for an entire month I was ready to throw my towel in. But now I'm getting a better grip on things and the scale moved a whole lb! Better than nothing though!!! How are you feeling brick? Wth is your real name? Lol... You look freaking awesome!!

Awe you are too cute! You looked great and I'm glad almost everything is going very well! I was super busy tonight so I couldn't stop up again but if you're here tomorrow you can bet your sweet ass I'll be there to say hi!

Good luck!!! You'll do great!!!

You haven't come this far to allow your stomach to have a mind of its own... Pshhhh

So crazy... I can come visit! I'll be working lol ... You will be fine I know it

I know I'm only a little over two months out but it seems wrong to me

Well I want to be like you lol... I'm at 35lbs and actually gained a lb...

That's crazy Kyle, how do you feel? Did this all come about b/c of your food intake? Do you think the weight loss was a direct result to this? Let me tell you I'm struggling. I get hungry, I watch what I'm eating, I'm exercising almost daily and I'm again at a freaking stall.... I can't win! I'm getting so frustrated... This is a lot easier for other people it seems...

I am going to get my cats portrait (I have one of my other cat as well). I am going to do my dad's senior picture portrait and I am going to get some cheetah prints on my shoulder with a inside phrase between my family. Maybe I can post a pic of my other cat tattoo

Wow everyone is doing awesome. Brick how you feeling Hun? Kyle you look freaking awesome! Cherie good luck with all the paperwork, it's one hell of a ride but it's worth it. Right now I've been working my butt off and after eating crap for two days BC I was out of town... I actually lost weight and got over my stall. Go figure! I think I was being too strict. Oh well... Life is good and I have three upcoming tattoo appointments to show for that... Sooo excited.

Glad everyone is on the up and up. Kyle any word on ur upper GI?

Jennie, are you out of ST Pete's yet? How do you know if you're dehydrated? Was it BC of the stomach thing?

This AP wouldn't let me sign into it for some reason. Grr Brick how are you feeling? Rensternes, looking very skinny over there. Hope you're doing ok also.. What testing do you have tomorrow?

Keepers. Are you not taking in a lot of fluids also? Sorry you had a bad time at Albany med. that ER is absolutely insane

What are you experiencing that they think might be a problem?

Ok this May sound stupid but I just want to check. Are you supposed to count the calories in your protein drink towards your total food calories or calorie intake for the day? Iso like I am not counting my protein drink calories right now and I'm wondering if this is wrong. Any help or advice would be great. Thanks Julie

You could always bake them something or cook a dinner for them to enjoy as a couple? Really thoughtful gifts without the large cash aspect
