Everdreamer, you'd be surprised - I for one found the pre-made baby food quite gag-worthy, and the homemade chicken puree much less so. You can use the canned (like tuna) chicken and almost puree it...

Spirited, you are not alone - we are all here for you and cheering you on! Locally, I would talk to a nutritionist - there should be one affiliated with your surgeon - for advice and a menu to...
Everyone has given you good advice, including yourself! The first uh-oh I see is starting the day off with TOAST - no no no! Give yourself some PROTEIN in the morning to get you through the day -...
Jealous - it sounds like a lot of fun!
Haven't tried these yet but they look delicious! Carrot cake protein pancakes
Just came across this dry but informative link - hope it helps! I had my sleeve approved but through MedicAID. They had JUST started approving it last spring, so hopefully Medicare will come...
Gwyn, throw away that scale!!
Congrats! You are a true success story and judging from your user pic, you look fantastic!!
That's what I did, BraelynsGranny - I weigh in every Tuesday (yes, that would be today!) when I visit my parents.
Great advice and post, DarliKay! You are doing great!
I've made a lot of foods, but never homemade cottage cheese!
I have/had arthritis in my back and lower hips, and I have had chronic foot and ankle problems my whole life. Losing weight (90 lbs) has made a WORLD of difference for me. I still have bad days...
If your age is the only thing that has you questioning, no worries! I wish I had done it then.
July 11th is my birthday, and it will be your RE-birth day!!! Good luck!
Have you been measuring yourself, not just on the scale? I was STUNNED by the changes in my measurements (hips, waist, bust, neck, arms, legs.)
You are doing this for you, and it is a personal decision that you have thought over (and over and over). Really, it isn't anyone else's business. I don't understand why people feel free to comment...
Very excited for you! You are in good hands at CHRIAS. Everyone there was fantastic.
@Steve Demko - I believe it is for phone orders only. I called mine in yesterday - can't wait to try them!

When I went in for my surgical consult, I was aIl set to have RNY. My surgeon was actually the one who pushed me toward the sleeve, and the deciding factor was that I would still be able to take...
Yowzers - you look great!
Our pre-surgery bellies were too big - the salad would fill them up with a fairly small amount of calories. Now we need the opposite - protein-dense foods to get all our nutrients in that tiny pouch.
THIS!!!!!
And I am in the midst of my hair loss now. I'm doing all I can - protein, supplements, etc. - but it's still so much thinner than ever before. I can't wait until this part is over!

Could it be from standing for too long with your arms up (painting)?
I couldn't do salad until 5 months out and even then (and since) I can only really do a small salad of butterleaf lettuce with lots of protein (beans, hummus, cheese, chicken) and minimal veggies. I...
Does the lemon tea flavor really taste like iced tea? Because if so maybe I should just order that - I drink a LOT of iced tea.
I wonder why anyone would not approve something with egg in it? Anyway, thanks for the push, I've been meaning to test these out for months, after hearing so many people rave about them.
