Chicken salad! I just started mushies yesterday, 2 weeks out as of today. Chicken salad has been great! I got a single scoop from The Chicken Salad Chick and I have been snacking on it since yesterday around noon! it feels so good to eat something normal again!

Have any of you noticed that some peoples pants size/weight don't really match up? For example, I weighed 324.2 at the start of my journey and I wore a 20/22. I've noticed a lot of people say they were in 20/22 but they weigh a lot less than me..like mid 200s-260 ish. Is it true some people weigh heavy? I've always thought I must weigh heavy. Oh, and I haven't tried my jeans on to see if I've went down a size or not, so I'm assuming I'm probably still a 20/22, maybe they'll be loose now. Oh, and I'm 19.2 pounds down and will be 2 weeks post op tomorrow.

Thank you!! I am definitely putting my mind to it!

Thanks for all the responses!! Its so cool to see everyones height/weight/sizes being compared! I know everyone is different, but it still just baffles me to see how two total different weights can be in the same size! (Not baffled in a bad way) its pretty cool!! Before long we will all be on the other side of the fence!! I cannot wait! I hope everyone posts before and after pics! I know I will once I start losing more (And bat wings will be a thing of the past, lol)

I sure do hope so! My dr told me yesterday that I could be in a size 6 if I wanted to! Lol..I thought to myself "I think a 6 would be pushin it!!"

I don't wear mine tight at all, I have always hated tight fitting clothes..makes you look even bigger! And I don't really figure ill be in a size 12 at 260 or whatever, just sayin that b/c I know I weigh heavy but wear the same size as some who weigh a lot less..I don't really expect to be in a 12..

I have been seriously thinking about starting to get massages! I'm always tense and I feel like it would help with overall stress on the body.

Good luck! It'll be over with before ya know it!!

Good luck with your surgery!! 160-165 ish is my goal weight for the time being, I got a long ways to go so I don't wanna set it too much lower than that! I'm at 305 as of today! 19.2 pounds down in 2 weeks post op!

Well I'm 5'4 and carry most of my weight in my stomach/upper body. I guess its just weird to see how much it varies between us women. I imagine I will get down to 250 and be in a size 12? Thanks for the responses, ladies! I can always count on this forum to have great feedback!

Well, Tuesday will be 2 weeks post op for me, so I'm still on liquids..well..I ate a bite of chicken (a bit too soon) it was grilled chicken from KFC and it was pretty small..but it got stuck! it hurt so bad and I threw up a little, but it still feels like its there. I didn't drink anything, because I wanted it to come up but I just sipped water and it still feels like its there. I don't know what to do..I feel so sick and my stomach hurts! I know a lot of us mess up, but I feel like a true fatty for this! Chicken tempted me and I gave in!

Thanks for the responses, y'all! I went to the dr this morning and told him and he asked "did you throw up?" I said "as much as I could" he said it was fine and to take it slower than that and he told me to start my soft/mushies diet today (13 days out) so I'm good. I feel great today, down 19.2 pounds!

Well I have to be at my post op visit first thing in the a.m., so I think I will wait. It feels uncomfortable, but I'm going to be honest with him and tell him I ate a bite of chicken..I think I will be ok til morning. Thanks yall

Glad you are doing well! I was knocked out the night of my surgery..I had a hard time with my blood pressure bottoming out and I passed out in the bathroom floor at the hospital! Glad your experience has been a better one!! Keep us posted night!

Are grits allowed during the liquid diet phase post op??

Oh ok, I just didn't remember seeing it on my papers from my surgeons office. But when I was in the hospital they gave me some really watery looking grits, but the dr said it was probably cream of wheat? Idk, I didn't taste it or look twice. Lol

Hi everyone, I know this is probably a common question..but..how long were you on your liquid diet? Just give a number of days, I'm just curious

So..I know I've posted a few threads since my surgery 7/17, but this is just something else I'm wondering about. What position was/is the easiest to sleep in? I have always either slept on my stomach, or sides..now I've been on my back and I HATE it. I try to prop up on pillows and every little way to be comfy, but NO help! This is during the healing time, btw.

Lol..well I would hope so!
