I am so hunger today myself!!

Yes!! It was getting better but then yesterday they took my bandages off and I started to feel it again

Great job! It's hard. I would separate myself situation when the food came out!! Actually I still doing that. I am still on full liquids but starting to feel hungry again

Hang in there! It gets better each day

I bought pajama shorts and plain shirt. I wore it in the hospital. So I came home in that.

I am so sorry to hear all that. I know how hard last week was having the after of surgery so I can only imagine what you are going through with all the additional stuff. Hang in there. You will get through it. And it will all have been worth it.

Oh no sorry to hear that. I am so glad you are feeling better. Take care of yourself.

I love it!! Lol. One thing I noticed and don't laugh....my necklace I always wear is hanging lower!

HW 301 8/6 Surgery weight 274 (although I swear I was 267) CW 256 Total 45 pounds!

MissySue, How are you feeling?

I can't sleep on my side or tummy. And I was to so bad.

Do you measurements too. You will be really surprised and happy seeing that too. I have a hard time seeing my loss too. I did my measurements the other day and that made me feel better.

I was on clear until my first checkup, 11 days, them they said 1 week full and then 2 weeks puréed

Went to the doctor today. I am 11 days post op. I lost 18 pounds since surgery and 45 since the start. He removed my bandages. And cleared for full liquids. If that goes will next week I can start puréed.

Any August buddies that had surgery already lost any weight? How much? I know I should compare myself. I just want to know if I am on track. My surgery was the 6th and I lost 8.

My Nut said anything we whey isolate protein as the first ingrident. I have a few different types. I really like this one I got from GNC called Amp. I got the vanilla. It was good.

Thank you!!!

You look awesome!

Ok, you guys will think I am so crazy. All my life of dieting (same as everyone else), I would start out with a particular calorie count when I would stop losing, lower the calories. Any way...on the liquid diet I averaged 800 calories. This last week on clear liquid I think it's like 200 if that. When we start eating more calories I am worried my body will be use to these crazy low amounts. Does that even make sense to anyone? You can tell me I am crazy!!

I have been doing my measurements too. I hear some people say that when they stall seeing the measurement change helps.

Perfect sense!! Thanks

Thanks! I just want this to work for me so bad. I don't want to waste this gift.

Can you email it to me as well? Cgiampa3@verizon.net

I had the worst time too. I was on the same diet. I am on post op clear liquid and I don't even want to look or smell broth anymore. I found after day three is was better so maybe tomorrow will be the day you feel better. Those sugarfree gums trident dessert were very helpful for me.

Before surgery I would feel sick thinking about pureed stuff. But if I was at that stage, I would have pureed that chicken parm in a minute!!! LOL
