Topic: RE: pureed foods

Yes , you can do this , especially broth . Put it in ice trays as someone suggested ,

You can also make up meals and find some of those plastic food containers and seal it really good and freeze them.
I now freeze all of my saucses ... I cannot afford to let anything go to waste .

Best to you ,

Look within for your answers.

It is healthy to look within. To find peace and serenity, you must put pride and fear aside and take an honest look at yourself.

Find the courage and resolve to discover yourself. Find out what makes you tick. Find out how you sabotage yourself and why. Learn what really motivates you. Seeking fixes and answers outside of yourself can only take you so far. To achieve fulfillment, you must look within.

Action for the day: Spend five minutes today looking within. Sit quietly and breathe deeply. Ask yourself, "What is it that I need to find and acknowledge within myself to become healthy?"

Topic: RE: Feel like I'm going crazy

I'm 9 days post-op (RNY) and following my surgeon's food recommendations. Currently that's a full liquid diet; 4-6 ounces every 3 waking hours. Although I've already lost some weight, I feel like I'm failing at this diet. Regardless of other peoples' success, I have this gnawing fear that it's not going to work for me. Maybe that's because everything else I've tried I've always failed at. Did anyone else feel like this? How did you get out of this funk?

Thanks for your help.

Rykar,
It is totally normal . We went from eating just about anything we wanted to eating that of the size of a small walnut .
How can you be failing ? For the first 6 months your body is going to do the work mostly for you , with some help from exercise. You are in a small starvation mode .

You need to start looking in the mirror everyday and tell yourself that YOU ARE WORTH THIS , THAT YOU ARE A SUCCESS , AND A WINNER . You are going to need to be your biggest cheerleader right now . Do not give up before you get started .
Trust me a year from now , you will not know that person standing before you in that mirror .

With each pound you lose , try rewarding yourself .I found that when I lost 5 pounds and my clothes shrunk , I went and I put something on a wish list .
Think about how great you are going to feel .. the energy you are going to have . DO not let those demons take over in your head and destroy your happiness and success . We are here for you .

Come back each day and let us know how you are doing , let us share in your success . We are all now a part of one big family . And we rely on each other for inspiration .
Know I am here for you .
As I tell everyone here .. I am your Coach here .. and I delight in helping others ... so let me help you if I can . PM me and concerns you have and I will be more than happy to help you .
We Care ..
Love and Peace ,

Topic: MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE FOR TODAY !

Motivational Quote - When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past.

Do you worry about what is going to happen in the future, or have sad regrets about the past? Take today to just concentrate on the present. It’s great to learn from the past and to plan for the future, but what is happening right now is what really matters. The past has come and gone and the future holds no guarantees. Today is the most important day. So begin each day with a plan. What do you want to accomplish today? Workout? Eat healthy? Play with your kids? Daily, small goals will help you in the long run achieve your dreams. Concentrate on the “now".

the feelings you feel are indeed normal. But know that everything will be all right along the way. The more you think on the positive attributes of the operation the less you can think on the negative. Know that we are all here to support you along the way. wishing you all the best...
