Very happy you got to spend the day with your mom...I am sure it was a blessing ...my hubby plows snow in the winter and since we just had 15 inches of snow drop on us he spent 35 hours straight plowing between the 13th and 14th..even exhausted he stoped to pick up roses for me .

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone ...I hope you are all enjoying the day

I have pureed chicken as well. I add chicken broth a little salt and pepper and puree it in my processor.

I hope it all goes well the next time you try eating solids. I think it was a good idea to go back to puree for a week. On the 13th of this month I get to go to soft solids like flakey fish. I am not quite sure what other types of lean meat.

Sorry you had such a shitty day the other day...I hope yesterday and today as well as everyday gets much bettter for you

I never thought of using it in Iced coffee....sounds good and I just may try it. I have been using them since surgery as well.

I just noticed over the weekend that I get stomach pain when I haven't eaten for a few hours. I don't feel hungry so I don't eat. But then my stomach will hurt until I do eat something. I thought that was strange.

Fortunately for me I don't have any bad taste in my mouth. I have noticed that what I eat or drink the taste of whatever it may be lingers for a long time at least til I drink some water.

lhargis...Same here in my end of Pa.....I went walking around the mall the other day, and during my trips to walmart I do the same thing.

That's great....just take your time and don't overdo it once it is set up for you

NEWDEANNA...I cannot wait for spring to get here too. I am so over this winter with all these arctic temperatures. I hate the cold weather. And warmer temps will make it easier to get out and do some good walking. I did go out yesterday and walk the mall. That was ok

I know how you feel. I also have been getting discouraged and depressed because I am not losing any weight either. I had surgery on the 13th, with the liquids before surgery and after I lost about 17 pounds and not even a quarter more since. In fact I have gained a pound. How is that even possible when I barely eat a half cup of anything and only drink about 2 cups of decaf coffee in a day and two protein shakes a day and about 20 oz of water?

Congrats and I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery

Happy to hear you are back home with family. I am sure they have missed you as much as you missed them. The thought of eating and drinking fluids does get easier as time goes on ....wishing you a speedy recovery

Round Granny Congratulations on your surgery, I am curious why no clear liquids also...but i guess not all Dr's follow the same regimine

Just came from first Dr. appointment since surgery 11 days ago. All is well and going great. I have no restrictions as far as excercise goes. I still have to follow diet and nutrician gudelines which is pureed foods for three weeks yet before moving on to soft solids. I am down 15 pounds from the visit before surgery and liquid diet started and he says this is great ..I am so happy with the way things are moving along.

I have 6 incisions...and I of those is from removing the lapband and port...I am so happy to have that out. I also had hiatal hernia repaired and didn't know I had one. Today started pureed foods...had my normal cream of wheat for breakfast but for lunch I pureed some chicken salad in the blender, it was good to have a different food taste added since liquid diet...lol. So far feeling great

KCamp...hope you are feeling well and coming along great

YAY!!! So happy for you

Eroper6....Is this the first thing you puree'd to try to eat? I am just curious because I start puree-ing foods on Friday. I hope it all goes well and hope you get to eat without feeling nausious.

R@VEN...I just had my surgery on the 13th and sounds like my liquid diet is same as yours was. I have noticed my taste buds have changed somewhat. I used to love drinking my peanut butter chocolate whey protein shake...I have to force myself to drink it because the taste is not appealing to me. Also noticed the regular cream of wheat with barely any stevia in it tastes good..that's is not something I would have ate without sugar....lol.

Wow...I just had my band revision to rny on Monday...I hope that doesn't happen too often. I would also like to hear from those it has happened to and what they did to rectify it..I hope it stops happening for you...good luck

Ihargis....I like the friendly wager

I agree sips of Water as soon as you can so you don't dehydrate yourself. Yesterday my pain in shoulders from gas was pretty bad yet so I took the prescribed liquid meds and that left me light headed and sleepy for most if the day. I didn't want to eat or drink which was bad. Today still have the gas pain but dealing with it so I can move around eat and drink sips of water. Where I see myself in a year...at my goal weight of at least 145 or even lower and off all co-morbid obesity meds. Already off of diabetes meds so there's one down

Happy to hear your ready for two piece I am far from that...lol
