That wouldnโt quite be the same as mashed potatoes, would it?

Yeah itโs on my list as OK, but I have so much guilt I canโt even deal LOL I think Iโll be avoiding until I get to the store for the alternative ๐

Above my profile pic it still says "Patiently waiting..." I'm not though. Where in the world can I change that? Can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

I don't know the results yet as I've only tried one shake so far.
Great minds think alike, girl!

I try to keep the fibers grams no more than 5 a meal till I know I can handle it because eventually I will need the fiber when I maintain ( fiber makes you feel fuller) .
Sick like nausea or the other end? That sounds awful

Anyone else feel guilty eating mashed potatoes in the purรฉe stage? Prior to surgery I was strict Keto for 2 years and potatoes were like a deadly sin LOL Next weeks grocery run I think I'll be grabbing some mashed cauliflower...until then, the real thing wonโt hurt since the quantity is so small, right? (like 2 tbsp)

Wasnโt bothering the past couple weeks. 25g sounds good. I did a little reading after my initial post and that amount matches up with the info I found ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

Oh gosh! They won't let you add some more Protein (unflavored) to those Glucerna shakes?

You can go ahead and talk to your surgeon about it but ultimately your anesthesiologist will decided whether or not your lungs are in good condition for general anesthesia. I hope it clears up soon! When is your surgery?
Thatโs reassuring! Surgery is next Tuesday the 14th.

Last Thursday I had a scratchy sore throat for a couple days. It went away. Figured it was allergies. Yesterday I started constant sneezing and no allergy meds in my arsenal would fix it. This morning I have crap in my chest, a slight cough and still a sneezing with a runny nose. No fever. This is NOT ideal for the week before surgery! liquid diet starts today and Pre-op Appointment is tomorrow. Last thing I need is a stupid cold to postpone surgery plus my medical leave is all set up with HR. Waiting to hear from my surgeon about what they want me to do. Anyone else get a cold right before surgery?Zemi reacted to this -

So Iโm sitting here 13 days PO and I keep having these recurring thoughts of โwhat if my bypass just doesnโt work...?โ Irrational, I know. Iโm not talking about losing the weight and regaining. I mean straight up NOT losing anything ever. That doesnโt happen, right? I have no complications, no pain, I can drink and take my supplements with no issue. That scares me too. Like, I thought this was supposed to be hard. If I didnโt see the scars on my belly I would second guess that I ever had surgery. ๐
