Kimmie

*sighs* I've lost ONE stupid pound this week....I assume it's from refried beans? An overload of them?? LOL Nah...I just need to walk more I think, though I'm walking about 1-2 miles a day!

I love me some Flinstone's Vitamins with Iron....they are the chewable kind!! LOL Such a kid, but they are yummie!

Looks like we'll be called the September Finer niners!!!!

I'm diggin' the beans and cheese!!!!! Yummie, I stocked up last night again...bought 5 or 6 cans! LOL

I'm so jealous...I can't exercise at the gym until 6 weeks post-op!!! LOL

I had my bandage on it for like 10 days....the Sterile strips wouldn't fall off....so about 12 days after surgery I just pulled them off. I've been keeping neosporin on them, and they are good. The scabbing is all gone now on all of my incisions.

Oh girl, I'm with ya! Though these last two days I've been eating refried beans....LOL Not good....but damn they are delicious!!!

Mac n cheese??? Does it need to be blended up?? LOL

The two weeks before are regular liquids...SF everything plus your protein drinks. The clear liquids is only two days before surgery...then of course surgery day (after surgery) you'll be on clear liquids...then the next day you advance back to regular full liquids for two weeks...then pureed/mushies. Then eventually back to regular foods. I'm in the pureed stage...but I still do liquids as well.

I started clear liquids about 4 days before my last appointment with Stanish, because I wanted an earlier surgery date. He's usually booking surgeries 2 weeks out... It can't hurt you to start early...will only take you THAT much further!! If you need anything else, let us know!! Good luck!!

That sounds yummie!!! I was told not to go back to the gym for one month...especially with working anything from the waist up! My doctor said just to walk on regular ground, and then in a few weeks I can get back into the gym. Shockingly...I'm anxious to get back! LOL

Thank you...it stinks only being able to walk! I'm DYING to get back into the gym....LOL Never thought I'd EVER say that! I officially met this goal!!!! Totally estatic right now! I've been at 290 for few days...hoping to break down to hit 275 by the end of October! Woot!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whoo: Name......................

It definitely could be! Go get some Protein shakes....I feel so much better when I get that in my body. But damn girl...you're doing EXCELLENT!!!! I started at 330....got down to 315 before my pre-op. I lost 13 pounds on my pre-op liquid diet....and then I have lost about 12 pounds since surgery on the 14th.

I'm kinda scared....I have issues, I know! LOL

Yeah, the doctor moved me up last night...I was super excited! I'm pretty well healed, and he said to try it out. If I feel it's not going down or am struggling, to go back to liquids. I had a soup last night, tossed a couple chicken pieces with the veggies in it...It was just a little bit thick, but it was so good. LOL Not much different than what I have been doing...it's all in the brain!

I just got back from my 1st check up after surgery as well....was advanced to pureed foods! I've never been so happy....LOL

Woot..congrats to ya both!!!

Right on!!

i went to work on the monday following my surgery day...friday! everyone is different...i didn't wanna baby myself, so i was constantly up and making sure i could get my liquids in

I still have soreness on my port area, just not so often. Usually when I wake up and laugh/cough...LOL Then of course when I lay back to go to bed it is a little sore. Some say it takes a few weeks, a month, or longer for that pain/soreness to go away. I think eventually it'll turn into a discomfort more than anything. I've been back to my normal grind since 3 days after my surgery...I didn't want to baby myself too much, because I didn't want a long-drawn out recovery time!

I was just thinking about that yesterday...what do mom's do that have surgery and have kids....I'd be devistated if I couldn't hold my children! Best of luck to you girl...the hard part is almost over! You'll be backto holdin' him in NO time! :car:

Popcorn? lol I'm so jealous! I get scared when I get a little piece of potato or chicken that didn't get strained in my soup! lol

Hey...glad to hear everything went well! I'm doing good...anxiously awaiting my appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday to get everything checked up Hopefully he'll release me next Friday to start pureed foods....lol

Glad you had an awesome day so far...you're rockin' girl! Keep up the awesome work! I'm with ya with the skinny bitch thing....I put an outfit on today that was tight on me this summer, and I felt like I was on top of the world!
