I tried a few of them and couldn't freaking stand the stuff. None of it. Just put Soups in a blender. I ate a lot of split pea Soup from the blender. Yogurt. I lived on Protein Drinks. I bought a ton of stuff for after surgery. You don't eat enough for all that. I licked a lot of laughing cow cheese wedges off crackers and ate a ton of sugar free Popsicles.

I go on pureed food next Thursday. I bought some refried Beans, hummus, canned chicken (they say it's more moist and easier to puree). I'll pick up some fresh fish to add to chowder and puree it. I'm still thinking what else to try...

chicken salad blended with some broth is yummy! When I was banded I used that a lot during the puree stage. I even pureed chili. Im with the others Soup is better tasting and more flexible than nasty baby food. My conversion to RNY is next week and I feel so much more prepared this round.

I think our surgeries are on the same day! The 12th right? :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
