Topic: RE: Puree Recipe Ideas
I took low sodium/low fat turkey, ham and cheese, and pureed with low fat may to make a little hoagie dip.

Chicken and egg salad were good as well.




14 pounds lost before surgery. My first ticker is when I hit onderland: this was my goal when I started on this journey.  I want to focus on that right now...once I get there I can reevaluate.

My second ticker is my dream goal. Even if I only visit there for a short time, it would be nice to see that number just once.  I am pretty sure I'll need plastics to hit this goal.

Topic: Help...weight gain post VSG!!
Hi,  I had a VSG on Sept 7, 2008.  I lost 18 lbs the first week and a half and have not lost another ounce since.  In fact, I gained 2 lbs!!!!  I am drinking about 5-6 cups of water/crystal light per day and am eating pureed food about 3 times per day.  NO SUGAR/NO CARBS.  I've not entered ketosis.  Has anyone had the same thing happen?  Can anyone suggest anything for me to do to get me out of this slump?  I am SO SO discouraged!

Topic: Calling all surgery angels - let's breath life into this program!
Hi Everyone 

I can't tell you what a difference it made in my journey to have a surgery angel guiding me all the way.  Holding my hand and just being there.  Mine was across the country and I loved her for all she did.

I see a lot of emails from members getting ready for surgery and are scared and posted asking for a surgery angel, with no responses.  I am seeing less and less posts from surgery angels asking for support comments on profiles, and other things that angels do for pre-ops and newbies.   

I was so scared before my surgery, and when I saw all the good luck wishes in my comment section I was so empowered.  When I had complications my surgery angel posted about it and all the commments again help me through a very rough time 

Please everyone, take a moment to go to this angel link and pay it forward to those that are just starting out

Topic: My old buddy CPAP
 MY old buddy is getting old yes I do feel better in the morning more rested up.,but the little signs he leaves showing he's been there sometimes is embarssing. It can take over a half day sometimes to get a clear face again not to meniton the pink nose. Soooooooooooo I'll be so glad to say goodby . Just wondered if I am the only CPAP face mareing person out there.
If my two year old grandson were see my with my chin strap and nose piece on it would scare him to death it scares me sometimes when I see myself. 
Changing the subject do any of you  have dreams of being thin again and how good it feels in the dream to be able to run, jump, to be able to do all the thing you can't do when you're fat.
Am I the only weird one out here having skinny dreams? Even if it just a dream it's nice to be thin for a few hours. I know it won't be to much longer before it won't be a dream but reality.
