    actually i made a green bean casarole tonight and as long as you can mush it like baby food with your fork and i took the french onions and crushed first and put inside the cassarole and your good! chopped mashed chicken that i baked and you have eat it in baby baby spoon size and chew chew, i smashed the green beans with the chicken really well and ate it that way cause the cream of soup made everything super smooth. just remeber your tummy will let you know what your ready for. and don't drink while you eat, don't drink 30 minutes prior and about 20 minutes after.

    yes eggs we can have, the easiest way is put your egg in bowl break yoke do NOT stir and salt and pepper then mircowave 1 minute then i put 1 slice of the plastic wrap chese on it maybe 10 seconds more, it melts and wala! good little meal. if you want poached; saucepan water couple inches ad splash of white vinegar, break your egg in small bowl. when water boils add egg 6-8 minutes depends how well you want yolk cooked your prefence, then takeout place on some papertowels and blot a little on top and wala you got a poached egg!

3 months ago...

by AmyM on 02-22-2014 at 09:46 AM
Three months ago my life was forever changed. Today, I am 50 pounds less than I was then. Let me repeat that... I HAVE LOST 50 POUNDS IN THREE MONTHS!!! Who does that??? Ridiculous, I say. Today, I am going shopping. I am still in the same clothes I was 3 months ago. And boy, they are loose. I tried on a size about a week ago and I am 4 sizes down from what I am currently wearing... I wear a size 20, but I am actually a size 16. So I am going thrift shopping and getting some new to me clothes

Hi Sleevers!

It has been awhile since I have posted. I troll a bit, but sometimes I do not comment. I have learned so many things in the 6 weeks that I have been sleeved and I do want to share some things with you all.

Tomorrow my life will change forever.

So, here i sit thinking of all the thoughts running through my mind. I am so anxious, excited, nervous, scared.... You name it, I am feeling it. I am scared of my liver not being perfect. I am scared that I will fail at this. I have failed so many other times, what if I stretch it out, what if I leak, what if I am that <1%. But what if I succeed. What if a world that I never knew opens up for me starting tomorrow. This is probably the biggest decisions that I have ever made. I am determined

My story.

by AmyM on 11-13-2013 at 07:03 AM
Hello everyone. My name is Amy. I have been on this site for a little under a month now. I love this site. I am having my gastric sleeve surgery in 12 days!!! Can you believe it. 12 days! I sometimes stop and ask myself how I got here. The only way that I know I will not get here again, is to know how I got here in the first place... So I digress...

I have always been an overweight person. I envied the popular crowd and the pretty girls. I always liked myself but I never felt
