I only had a 10 day pre-op so I include both. My thoughts are, this is all a journey. I consider my weight loss from when I started the journey.

Hi Adair,
Do you like cream soups? Are you allowed them. If so, try pureeing tofu into them. It can be pureed to a nothing type of texture, but it's a protein. May work.

Hi Tony,
I'm 7 weeks today since being sleeved. And yes, stalls are inevitable. My own theory is that our bodies go through "starvation mode". They think they aren't getting food and so are...

Matt, I'm a month since surgery and I'm so happy I did it. I waited about a week to drive. It took me about 3 days to start feeling ok, but I'm not great with anesthetic. I found I had a lot of...

Lily, I remember seeing the words clinically obese... I was shocked and heart sick.
You are not a monster. You are a beautiful woman with lots to offer. You are on the right track!
Hi Debbie,
I think the biggest thing is "tomorrow is a new day". Don't beat yourself up and you are never hopeless. Don't hate yourself, just learn and grow.
Hi,
I haven't found a good clear protein here yet, if you find one please let me know! I drink the Visalus protein shake every morning. It tastes good. AS far as a multivitamin, I use the centram...

Hi, I had my surgery in TJ, I believe the hospital was called ING and my DR. was Huacuz. He doesn't get rave reviews here, but I know of a few people who have used him and he was great. His bedside...

Wow! You look fantastic!!! Way to go.
Hello, I hear what your saying, I find I'm a little fearful of food. It's really important to try to get a little protein in your body, I started to have dizzy spells. Just a little and then sip...
Oh my goodness, you should read the panic text i wrote to a friend of mine a few days before surgery. And not because of the surgery, but more in fear of what the future held. I am just over a week...
