I started on puréed today, I was supposed to start last week, but my stomach wasn't ready. I bought a blender. Cooked curry chicken with pot and carrots, blend that up and put into small containers. Did the same to my salmon salad and cabbage/meatballs. Had a small portion of salmon salad for breakfast. Wasn't hungry for lunch so I had a protein shake. The one I really like is EAS brand advant carb control shakes. They're only 100 calories, 17g of protein, 0 sugar and only 3 carbs. But a bit high in sodium: 320

I had mine's august 5th. Lost 34 lbs. I feel good. Pre op my dr put me on a 5 days before surgery liquid diet. Post op 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks puréed, then 2 weeks soft foods. When I'm preparing foods for my family, I'm thinking, I'll eat again in a couple months. So that keeps me from doubting my decision to have surgery. The main reason I had surgery was for my son, I want to be able to run with him, chase him around, and have an active life style. I want to be able to live to see him graduate high school, college and maybe get married. I'd like to be able to baby sit my grand kids. My husband is about to start his journey on getting insurance approval. 6 months of criteria to fulfill. We will be each other's support.
