I started my day with a dr appt at 9:30 am this morning. Still feeling a little weak and not ready to drive so my husband drove me. Plus I took pain meds last night. I guess I tried to turn over while sleeping and woke up with some nasty pain. :smile: Turning over in my bed is difficult! Well I got on the scale at the dr office and was down to 264!:tongue2: I started at 277 and was 271 at my last nutrition class which was on the 19th. When they weighed me at the hospital Monday prior to surgery I was 278 :thumbup: I told them their scale really sucked! Boy did it feel good to see the scale today!!! And what was even better I can move on to pureed foods this week!! I can have puree soups, protein shakes,applesauce, OATMEAL, and cream of wheat! I used my magic bullet to puree Progresso chicken vegetable soup. Looking forward to that!

I still have gas issues but hopefully they will go away soon! Waiting for my bowels to return to normal (sorry TMI). First day with no Tylenol! The other issue I have is taking a deep breath I feel pressure..is this normal?

 

Any good puree recipes/ideas?

 

Thanks for the support!

Way to go on the weight loss!! Doesn't that feel wonderful!! Just remember this is only the beginning!!

You might like some of the recipes on www.bariatriceating.com otherwise I did what you are doing..I got the bullet out and pureed everything and anything..just really didn't look at the outcome, just the taste and it was good!

As for your bowels...you might want to add benefiber to list of daily supplements. It is a powder that you put in any liquid. It has absolutely no taste and it is not gridy at all. Constipation is a big problem..this will help you go with ease but not like a laxative. You cannot use metamucil or things like it..it goes in your pouch and expands..not good. My Dr and nutritionist only recommends benefiber.

Well..your days are getting better and better! I hope they continue that way!! Take care!
