wow, GO YOU!! In onederland already! I am so jealous, 18lbs to go for me. I am so so happy to see that you are home and doing better! It must feel amazing to be out of the hospital!

Welcome, ask away! There are tons of people on here who are so kind and helpful! Congratulations on beginning your journey!

can you have chicken and fish? I can on my diet and I eat a lot of tuna and canned chicken breast with low fat mayo. I look around a lot to find things that I think my belly will tolerate. I made turkey chili this week and used my hand blender to soften it up with some melted cheddar on top and it was amazing and has lots of protein between the beans, the ground turkey and the cheese.

Yippee, that's great news! So happy for you!!

I am doing alright I went to my 3 week post op visit today and I have lost 20lbs. I am on the pureed diet and I love it perhaps because I was getting so sick of full liquids. My main complaint is that I have been SOOOO tired this week. I also found out today that I have thrush.....yuck....I told my surgeon about it a couple weeks ago and he didn't think so but, I had a dentist appt. today and yep, thats what Ive got alright. Nystatin is so disgusting!! Hope you're doing well Kathy

Couldn't have said it better!! It really takes help and support. My kids have been my rock so supportive and so kind. My daughter came up and gave me the biggest hug today (she is 15), and told me how proud of me she was for "going through all of this so they can have a healthy mom". I started to tear up!

You will not be disappointed. It is a long tough road but I wouldn't change my decision for the world!!

I made meatballs last night, and had two small ones without issue. Tried them again today and about 45 min later I was in the bathroom, wasn't pleasant.....

I get pain in my back and feel like I have to hiccup. So cool how our body figures out a new way to tell us to STOP!

You inspired me to try on all my jeans this morning. I can say bye bye to my 20's my 18's fit great, and so do some of my 16's. The BEST part is even though some of them were pretty darn tight, I could put ALL of my 16's on and button them up! So incredibly thrilled. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Nothing felt better than looking in the mirror and seeing myself in those jeans!!

last weeks weight 227, this week 221 for a total weight loss of 46lbs! So excited.

Have you tried the unjury Chicken Protein?

You're doing great, we are all in the same boat. It is a trial everyday. We all have to find out what works for us. Stick with the plan your surgeon and NUT gave to you and you can't go wrong.
