I just put it into my flavored Water, and it's all good..

Wow! That sounds so delish! Thanks for the inspiration! Im 2 days behind you and I am going to have to check my cleared foods, and see what I can whip up tomorrow (day 6) Its been so nice to follow you. My pain did alleviate a bit today, Although I had a couple of bouts of terrible night sweats last night. That hasn't happened to me since before I quit drinking (11+ yrs ago). I'm responding far better to ground tylenol then any of the prescribed pain relievers (terrible nausea). scale finally started to move (beyond pre-sugery #) today. Glad I could give you an idea ???? That sucks on the night sweats, it has to be super uncomfortable. Hopefully they'll go away soon. The pain meds didn't make me sick thank goodness. Just very constipated. And congratulations on the scale moving. I'm still excited every time I see a lower number.

I hear ya on being bored. And yes a nap is totally required afterwards lolI just finished a soup made out of fresh broccoli, cauliflower, onion and carrots, mixed in a low sodium tomato soup. Then put into my Vitamix till thoroughly blended. And can I say yum.

It gets better each day thank goodness. Thanks for asking. How's it going on your end?

Congrats on being discharged. Good luck with the transition at home ????

That sucks you had to have a roommate. It's all their fault. That's great about the fluid intake. For me it was rather simple drinking. The hiccups from hell I had, first few days, we're not fun at all. Thank goodness it was just those first days, not anymore for me lately. Hopefully it's the same for you. And the walking really does help with gas pain, doesn't it!?

I've noticed, it's like they want someone to jump on their bandwagon of getting a Pass. Misery loves company ???? We've given to many passes as it is, and look where that got us. Now's the time, I Choose me, for my health to be restored. Great post by the way.

Houston we have landed ???????? lol sorry I had to lol It's been a week, why so long I wonder. I would have assumed I'd if had major cramping and all, but nothing. At least now I know I'm good.

Sorry to hear you are struggling. It just goes to show ya, how different our bodies are with everything, including healing. I wish you the best of luck on your healing, and hopefully you'll get a taste in your mouth you'll enjoy soon.????

Why thank you ???????????? I'm down 31 pounds in 3weeks. Not to bad so far ????And yes please any purée ideas would rock ????

It was pretty cut and dry, the way the NUT put things. No Bread, pasta, sugar, soda. It definitely amazes me what I've seen others eat, but hey it's their journey not mine. I want to use my new tool as effectively as I can, while I can. Its potency, for lack of better terms, seems to not be very long (long enough to lose), so why jeopardize any possible progress?

I just started purée stage, so I have a ways to go. But can't wait to make..

Will do. In always looking for the next big thing lol I need variety to keep me sane.

I hope you have a speedy and painless recovery ???? and welcome to the losers bench later on today ???? it feels amazing to be on the other side. And it's no joke on the walking, to release the gas pains. It really works. But making yourself move is pretty tough when your insides feel so fragile.

Can't wait to try ❤️

Ok thanks, I wondered how everyone did it lol.. I definitely am gonna try something delicious tonight ❤️

Do you run the cottage or ricotta cheese through the blender still? With it being soft already.

Good luck and Godspeed on your recovery ????

And you just have to make a conscious effort to not let your withdrawal, effect you or your family. If you know that you get grumpy just tell them you need a minute to just chill or whatever. It worked for me and my family ????

Vitamin B-12 sublingual helped me and still does.Nature's Bounty Vitamin B Complex Sublingual Liquid, 2 Ounce (Pack of 4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7QPC8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_f7Fuvb0MY1TRV https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001G7QPC8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_f7Fuvb0MY1TRV Good luck ????

We just have to remind ourselves, hey, yes we decided to change our lives dramatically, and yes that means we can't eat whatever we want, but hey, we will be way skinnier and way healthier than we've ever been in our lives. IT WILL BE WORTH EVERY SECOND OF MISERY. Maybe you need a little more variety in what you are consuming.Thanks SalonboiI'm sure it's just a passing thing. And I also think your correct when you say I'm not giving myself enough variety. I'm stuck in that drink water and have a chocolate protein shake. I have an appt. this week with my NUT and I'm sure she will have some suggestions. I also get the liquacel delivered tomorrow. Thanks for your positive feedback , it helps. And now I will kick myself in the butt and just push forward. What was the alternative for me , to just remain overweight , which was a fight for me everyday also. This too shall pass. ???? The Liqacel really is like a party in my mouth, flavor wise. Having had the protein drinks for so long will drive anyone crazy lol. And yes time to "kick yourself in the butt and move forward " cause there is no other choice. ???? we want skinniness and our health over anything else ???? and we are making that happen as we speak. We are actually working towards that goal now, and that makes me really excited. To finally be on the proverbial "Losers Bench" is an amazing thought, after years of accepting my overweight fate. But not anymore ????

Yes everything I'm making is definitely able to go through a straw. My deviled egg spread was yummy last night. And for lunch I did refried beans and melted mozzarella on top. So good ????

Depression can happen. Talk to your PCP to see if you need to explore your options if this continues. Mourning food is tough in our fragile states. I use positive self talk, it really helps me.
