Hi @Kio, sorry to hear this. I can relate; we had our beloved dog put to sleep about ten days ago after a lifetime of caring for him and loving him so much, and several months of wondering when we would have to make the decision.

Keep on truckin', @Nana Trish! <3

Nice! I don't have a blender, but maybe it would work with a stick mixer.

Whoa, what a fabulous idea! I work "alone" now, so no immediate colleagues, but I'm squirreling this idea a way to use at some point. Thanks!

There's a lot of wisdom in these paragraphs (as usual)! Emma, this is the real deal. My two cents: at this point (18 months out) I am working on the emotional eating. I am lucky enough not to have had any complications with the surgery, and I can pretty much eat anything I want, just not much at once. That's both a blessing and a curse, as you can imagine. I think the work you have already done on creating a stable eating pattern (yay you!) will serve you well after surgery. The first few months are different, because you are "starting over" and then slowly introducing other kinds of foo

This has been exactly my experience. I'm about a year and a half out, and I can definitely do a lot more than before surgery, which is great. But it's not like I magically started dancing through the meadows on my way to work or anything like that!

Haha, you rock!

Love you, Punkin, and I've got everything crossed for a good outcome. So sorry you have to wait so long for the next appointment. As others have said, try to do what's within your power to take care of yourself, like the vitamins, water, and protein. And try to rest when you can. So glad to hear from you; keep us posted when you can. PM me if you like.

That looks very cute on you!
