Cream of Spinach Take some onions.. and sauté them a little bit of butter.. like 1/2 teaspoon..then throw in some baby spinach..if it gets a bit dry.. then add some chicken stock.. then add some salt and pepper.. A tablespoon of low fat or ff ricotta.. and less than 1/4 shredded low fat mozzarella cheese.. once it is all wilted and cooked.. then put in a processor.. and it because a creamed spinach.. nice side dish..

My NSV is that after about 3 seasons.. i was able to wear these beautiful brown suede boots that i have not been able to zip up past my calfs ... this past weekend.. they zipped all the way up .. and I was showing them off proudly.. Looking forward to seeing the clothes this spring.. in the bins downstairs that i have labled " Don't fit but keep just in case I lose weight " yes i really have a bin that says that.. I have some great designer clothes that I just could not part with and had hopes that one day i would fit into them again... More to come folks ...

This is very useful information.. i think i am at the point that i cannot tolerate the protien powder drink also.. leaves me with a nauseous feeling .. and my bloated stomach... i need to probably due more isopure and nectar .. today is 1 month since my surgery... and feeling good but having a tough time with the Protein shakes.. my surgeon's PA told me that i am going to have a bit of a harder time with losing because i am not eating enough.. i like the 30 second rule and think i am going to have my iPhone with timer on when i eat to monitor my eating habit.. really good suggestion.. because i have noticed that my brain is not catching up with my stomach when i am eating and then if i eat too much.. i pay for it later... any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

ok.. Tomorrow is the big day.. feeling good.. Have lost 15lbs as of today in prep for this surgery tomorrow... on my way.. Good Luck to all who are having surgery this week!! keep the faith and keep your eye on the prize.. next couple of weeks are going to be really hard adjusting to eating again... but we have all committed to changing the way we have been living through this surgery and our will power prior... You are all beatiful and deserve good health ... Cheers!!!

GOOD LUCK!!! and keep us posted!!

Try not to think about it so much... if anything.. it is to prevent further issues down the line to make sure that you have no leakage... in a month from now this will all be gone and you will start to live the life that you have been wanting for a long time... Good luck and keep me posted!!!

i am having my surgery on January 26... only 4 days away.. my pre-op started off tough but am now used to the low fat cooking and shakes.. i have really learned a lot about my body these past two weeks... I actually feel great from doing this two week cleanse in preparation for the surgery and my new life style .. I feel strong and my hunger and sugar withdrawals have subsided .. one thing i have noticed is that I am not weezing so i wonder what foods I could have been eating that exacerbating my condition.. I am not a smoker or heavy drinker at all.. that is a plus.. Nervous and excited at the same time.. I am sure I will be successful with the support of my family ... I haven't been going to they gym in fear that i could catch the flu.. and don't want to chance it.. Have my eyes on the prize.. getting close to the finish line..

Beside the shakes.. I would love to hear from you..what did you eat for meals during the 2 week pre-op!! thank you in advance for your suggestions..

Nice quotes above.. looking forward to it... some day soon... scheduled for surgery 1-26-15

Hello Everyone.. This blog is exactly what i needed to hear... hcruce... i am feeling the same way as you.. COLD Feet... i am scheduled on January 26 for my GBS.. I had lapband surgery in October 2006 275lbs .. Did lose weight at first then slowly it came back .. I had my Lapland removed this past November.. Surgery went fine..just the healing from the incision sites were a bit tough .. but my surgeon tells me the ones for the GBS site will be small.. Just looking at the pre-op diet scares the heck out of me.. I need to be soooo strong and not give into the food demons... saj54539@yahoo.com you said some interesting things that hit home... My Mom passed away March 2014 and she had so many complications.. I don't want to live like she did... in a bed .. not able to walk..taking so many medications.. not able to have surgery due to high risk complicatons .. I am insulin resistant.. and don't want to deal with diabetes in my future...I really need to get my head straight before and after this surgery so that it is successful.. i have taken care of my Mother most of my life and now it is time for me to start to live the right way.. Being Hispanic is a bit hard due to the great foods we prepare.. Any suggestions out there.. i welcome ...
