I wasn't really restricted in the food I could eat, not really. I did have a protein shake every morning. I was on a 1200 or less calorie plan. That made me make healthier choices. I still had beef and sushi and pasta, just less of it. I am 6 weeks post op and have lost, as of Monday, over 55 pounds. I feel good. I'm starting to get more energy and I can run up the stairs without dying. This week I am reintroducing ground turkey. So exciting! I am so excited for you.

Miznola, I was on calorie restriction also. I was only on liquids for the say before surgery. I was on this plan for a month before surgery and I lost 19 pounds. The first week is kinda rough, but it got easier.

Amazing

It is very scary. But you have to remember what is more important. You will be able to eat the things you love again. It is just going to take a little time, and in the mean time, you are going to be losing weight and feeling better physically. This too shall pass and you are going to look and feel fantastic!

Merry Christmas, all! I am 6 days post op (surgery 12/18/13). I've been getting in as much fluid as possible. But I'm still having problems with dizziness and a little nausea. Did anyone else have this problem?
