I do mashed potato now so that's not a problem but besides thanksgiving I just want to move on lol. 14 I can only eat so much mashed potatoes and beans!I was 10/30/14

I'm not sure I'll try it tomorrow and if I remember I'll let you all know.

Before surge y I saw an eggnog protein shake which was specifically made for bariatric patients. Anyone know if one?

I found one but it requires like 2 different types of syrups but the one I found awhile ago did ask for any

Yeah the sugar in it is crazy!

I know! I'm so mad I can't find it. I'm 3 weeks out and don't think I should drink regular egg nog but it's my weakness so I need a substitute. I'm mad I can't find it now!

If you haven't had nature box omg it's so yummy and -Less than 200 calories per 30g serving -no hydrogenated oils -no artificial colors, sweeteners &flavors -no added sulfites -yes to high quality nutritious ingredients if you don't agree with it okay but here's a code and your first box is $10 off the price. Enjoy!! G322-8TL

I feel like I'm not too stretched out where I can't tighten my stomach. And my arms worries me when it comes to loose skin.

I'm Hispanic and me and rice are forever bff's but to a limit. And I swear I'm Italian because I use to live off of pasta. In my next food stage I'm allowed quinoa and I'm excited.

Omg it looks so yummy I'm super jelous. Yeah I can't do rice for 2 months or like tortilla so a bowl is what I'll end up doing. Either way I'm excited!!

Thanks! My stomach looks like a lightening storm!

Going crazy. Honestly you have to so strong with this. I've cheated twice already but luckily got back on track. I had my 3 week post op appointment and I've lost 31lbs so far. I'm on my puree diet and am counting the seconds for my next stage which is soft foods and I'm excited. I feel like I'm really lucky because I can drink a lot more than what people tell me. Like I drink more than the 64oz of water needed but protein has been hard for me. I only have pain in my stomach during my 5 hour lecture class because I'm sitting a lot but other than that zero pain. I can sleep on my belly now and I'm happy. Just remind yourself you can do it. And you will eat regular food again one day. My biggest craving is chido burrito which is like Chipotle (but better) and I'm excited to eat that again lol.

I'm only 3 weeks post op but I'm here if you need anything!

So im,2 weeks out on the puree diet and can no longer hold the secret but I'm cheating I eat plantain chips and corn with flax seeds chips and chunky Peanut Butter. I eat meats that aren't canned and I had Popeyes mashed potatoes. I know I should not have Crunchies but honestly I'm not going to lie I'm sick of this "sheltered" life I just want to be "normal". I don't feel pain with my sleeve and I even snack which isn't in my diet plan at this point. (The chips I'm eating aren't high in fat or sugar or carbs) Ugh be nice to me but tell me to stop! Or tell me I'm okay. I don't know this is annoying

Wow this was very inspirational and I enjoyed that although you told me everything everyone has said you said it with calmness and care. And to answer your question I'm doing fine. Stressing because I need another job but not letting that interfere with my eating habbits. I eat and drink what I'm suppose to and although I'm pretty sure I'm hungry I don't listen. I stick to my times of eating and such. I go for my 3 week post op appointment and excited to see what the doctor and my NUT have to say. Thank you really you don't know how much I needed these words today.

Hi! My surgery is the 30th and I'm just wondering if anyone is vegetarian or vegan altho I eat chicken I hope to become vegan soon. Help?

I guess it depends on your NUT cause my NUT wasn't too happy about me being vegetarian mainly because I'm not a big fish fan. But I'm on puree right now and have been eating tuna and canned chicken so I'll see once I hit stage 3 and 4.

I'm also having trouble too but baby spoons really help and if you go to the dollar store they're cheap .

I'm back on track. Thanks you.

Yeah I'm not going to make an excuse and I wasn't thinking when it did happen and it happened I can't change it I did come back though and I just look at everyone's before and after pics and just remind myself none of them had that happen over night and it takes hard work and dedication to get to goal or close to goal. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I posted this. Not every seeming to gang up on a complete stranger. Yeah I'm young but I do know what I'm suppose to do I reread my packets all the time. And I am on track and really looking forward to wait lifting soon. Lol. But thank you for understanding and everything you said if true (also yes I chewed everything to the best I could) but Thank you for this and I'm sorry I never saw your post to comment. How long have you been banded? And I know you said you made a mistakes too but how are you now? <3

Thank you for your kind words. As I said in another comment I did my meal prep for the week and I'm back on track today was better. I'm experiencing a lot of head hunger but I just start doing school work or something. Only I know what's really going on so I need to help myself.

Hi! I was sleeved the 30 of october and I've had my share of really bad downs but I'm on track and working twice as harm. Hope your journey is better then mine!

So this is the first time I've had a headache since sleeved (oct. 30) I ate my Breakfast had my Water and my Protein srink. I'm not due to, eat for another 2 hours and I feel too full to drink. Could this headache be cause of hunger or just a headache? Also I am walking around right now.

Maybe your right but in the same kFC post I said my NUT doesn't think I should be a vegetarian so soon. And also I said although I was a vegetarian I craved meat from time to time

No its fine what you said if right but I'm sure everyone can relate in order to really succeed at this you NEED to love yourself and be willing to change for you. And I've been struggling with this. Everyone's like wow you look amazing but to me I'm still at 259lbs not 230lbs so I'm still in the state of mind where I look awful. But thank you for caring enough to appologize. I'm just sensitive =)
