Just thought I would share a recipe I made. I purchased a small crockpot. I have 2 others but too big for hubby and me eating less. I bought four apples different kinds for taste flavors. I peeled and sliced them out about half cup Water and splash of lemon juice in. I then added a touch sugar free maple pancake syrup also. I added quite a bit of cinnamon cause I love cinnamon. Put the lid on and my house smelled like apple pies baking. After 6 to 7 hours or till tender I mashed up with a potato masher. It is yummy to my tummy. I just put a tablespoon or so in cottage cheese and it is so good. I have also dipped my deli turkey or ham in it. Just thought I would share. Hope you all have a terrific healthy day!!!!

You are welcome. Those small crock pots are great!!!

I mix half chocolate protein and half vanilla protein. That was it isn't too sweet for me. My doc says no soda pop at all sugar free or not. No carbonation.

Good luck. That is awesome!!!!

You are awesome!!! Congrats!!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the giggles. Yes I am older and I knew about poprocks and their many uses. I think they are a bit over rated. You silly ladies!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I had to be on Clear liquids the day before as well. Good luck. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon said decaf is ok. I am fine with that. After surgery your tastes change anyway. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Take a deep breath...get back on track...most of all take a deep breath when you are stressed or upset and think about your choices. Our emotions have ruled our life in making poor eating decisions. You can do this...just learn from it and move on. We are all lesrning our new life and having to make life changing adjustments! Good luck to you honey. We are here for you!

I have to do 3 weeks of mushy. Yes it is a challenge but starting to figure it out. I drink protein drink in the morning. Snack 2 hours later of half cup cottage cheese. Lunch either deli ham 2 oz and 1 low fat string cheese or fat free refried beans with tiny bit of cheese melted on it. An egg at dinner or 4 ounces of roasted skinless chicken thigh or salmon. It is a challenge but if i get my 2 snacks between breakfast and between lunch and dinner i get it in. Hope this helps. Tiny bites and chew really well.

Good luck to all of you!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I knew when i went in for my psyc eval. thst it would be 2 hours of written questions (multiple choice) and an hour talking to the psy. Doctor. It only took me an hour written test and 10 minutes talking. Just be honest. Some questions seemed really dumb to me but I just answered honestly. My understanding is there is no pass or fail. They just want to make sure you are emotionally ready for the upcoming changes. You will be fine...I was very nervous...then laughed when I got home. The questions were all over the place. Just a part of our journey. Let me know when you are done with it!!! Good luck...but you will do great!!!

Follow your heart. If you have educated yourself on the process which I am sure you have then do what you think is best. It isnt for everyone. Maybe it just isnt the right time for you. Good luck to you!! We all respect your decision. It is life changing. I am 3 weeks post surgery, and thankful I did it. I am 60 years old and my window was getting slim for a change. Dont know how I will feel tomorrow...but today I am grateful. Best wishes!!!

No drain for me!!!

Good luck to you!!! You will do great!!! Stay in touch!!!

I had several pages of test questions and a few minutes talking to the psyc dr.

Awesome and good luck to you. I am almost 3 weeks post op and doing well also. Now on to a healthy productive happy life!!!

I was sleeved 3 weeks ago. I dont even way very often. I refuse to do it daily. When i ggo to the doctors i will find out. I know my clothes are getting looser so why torment myself with a number. Have fsith it will happen. Have one of my doc aappointments today. Guess i will find out soon. Good luck...and relax.

Movies...minature golf...bowling walk in the park...hope that helps. Not sure where you live or what is going on there. Lol

No not at all. He must be interested cause he asked you out. Don't worry about it..you are human and sometimes we nake decisions that might not be the best when we are caught off guard. If he is a nice guy I am sure he will understand. If not...move on. You seem like a sweet lady and I am sure great things will come your way.

I guess I would just be truthful. If it does work out I personally would want to start out truthful. If he choses not to like you because of it...then he probably isn't a good fit. That is just my opinion. I am a stickler for truth versus lies. It is deal breaker for me. If you see him again...I personally would explain to him he caught you off guard and then tell him the truth. We all handle things in our own way...and that is just my humble opinion. You have to do what you feel best. After all it is your life. Best of luck..and I hope things work out for you whatever happens. Best wishes in your journey!!!

My doctor said take capsule with water which i have been doing . No problem.

Oh so sorry sweetie. Time to be a strong women and realize you are worth so much more than that. That isn't love in any way shape or form. Please dont let him destroy you or your child. You both deserve so much more. Make a clean break and get the negative out of your life before surgery. Surround yourself with supportive good people that will lift you up not tear you down. Life is way too short for that. You will always find support here. Start today...find the strength..you can do this!! Healthy supportive thoughts and encouragment sending your way. Nobody deserves that!! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

My sleep apnea doctor tried me on gabpentin a few months ago. It helped a little but not that much. I wanted to be on as few meds as possible before surgery so I stopped them and honestly haven't noticed much difference. My surgeon told me to stay off them for awhile. Dont think I will restart them. I hate meds...I do have a few I have to take. I have psoriatic arthritis. We will see in a few months. Good luck to you.

You should check with your doctor. He had me stop my restless leg syndrome before durgery and still doesnt want it restarted.
