Hey Kim-Pei, Im glad I can be somewhat helpful, by all means print it and do what ever you need, to help you get through your journey, Im very happy to share and help in anyway I can, its a hard Journey, But it WILL be VERY well worth it in the end, nothing could make me (now) change my mind on my decision, I wish you nothing but luck, and happiness, and please keep me update on your journey :D

What did you use to puree your food?  Did you have any problem getting your hamburger in the chili to puree small enough?  I am worried the Hamburg will be too big of lumps. Applesauce is pretty small, and that's what they told me to puree it down too. I'm just worried that a piece goes in too big...

What did you add to your food? Water?  

hi erinG

I'm so glad you are doing so well it is amazing how the weight comes off and how full you get at mealtime I lost a total of 120 pounds so far and went from size 48 to a size 38 and from a 5x to a xl shirts and my energy level is 10x what it use to be my wife is happy and so are my kids because I can do more with them then just sitting in front of the tv I went scuba diving for the first time in years and only have to use half my weights on my belts this is a wonderful goft we were given and it was the best decidsion I could of made for my family and for me.have a great thanks giving and let's keep up the could work.

so I am fully expecting the three week stall, since I have read about so many people experiencing it. But I'm wondering how long this lasted for you guys who have had the surgery. And are there any of you that didn't have it?  Also, is there another regular stall period after this?  I am wondering if it has to do with the fact that we are now starting on regular, but puréed, food?  Also, not a great topic, but when does regular " poops" start. I still have a lot of water that comes out.
