Ok i know i researched this up and down and knew what i had to do,but i dont think you see the hole picture.Its been soooo hard,and im not looking forward to pureed things either cause i cant chew it.Im a texture ,crunchy ,chewy kind of person ,and all i get it liquid.My family grill and cook and the smell is omg!.If i could turn it back i would have never done this im so stupid and i give alot of credit to the people that have cause i dont know how they did it...Right now im so depressed ill i can do it ..TY for listening

Chan, You're at a point where many of us have been so don't beat yourself up. It's perfectly normal to go through that "what the hell have I done to my body?" phase! If you really need some texture, try chewing on some ice. I know it's not a potato chip per se but it will give you something and add to your liquid intake which is vitally important right now. You're only a very short time out - hang in there girl - you can do this! The pureed stage, nasty as it may be is a definite step up and soon after that you'll be able to start trying more new things. Hugz, Cathy

Awww Sweetie {{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}} I know I am the same way... But you will get through this... And it gets easier... I am almost 9 months out now and I can eat what I want only tiny portions and I of course stay away from the bad stuff.. and I will admit I do sneak an occasional tater chip... I know i will get a lot of crap for this but I didnt puree anything... I just chewed the bageebus out of stuff... and just when I thought it was mushy enough I chewed more... I also stuck to things like eggs w/cheese mashed taters w/cheese yes I put cheese on everything.. refried beans w/ cheese... you get the picture here I am sure... Sweetie you have come this far do not let the mental demons get you.. you will do just fine just remember that in a few weeks this will be but a distant memory and you will be thinner and healthier for your daughter.

I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time. I had my nephew to lean on, he also had WLS. He kept telling me remember Aunt Meena you get it all back. I am 8 months out and all he said was true. Now that I can eat more things I don't choose to do that. Hugs and prayers to ya sweetie. As time goes by you will marvel at how fast it really went!

Luckily, nails are low carb Come on now..give yourself a chance to recover. I just went through all these same emotions after plastics. I wondered if it was really worth it. Answer: YES!!! Girl you know nothing that's worth having comes easy. In a month you're going to look back at your post and say...YES IT WAS WORTH IT!! Happy melting! Love, Kathy
