Hi everyone. My name is kathy and I am two weeks and two days post op. I was sleeved on 02/03/2014. I am 56 yrs old and my beginning stats were 242 lbs on October 1,2013 with a BMI of 47.3, I am only 5 feet tall. I have diabetes, osteoarthritis and COPD. I quit smoking 14 months ago and the next step was the WLS. My goal is to get back to a healthy place so I can finish raising my grandchild.. I was not given a preop diet to follow. I live in Lancaster Ohio and my surgeon is Dr Thomas Sonnanstein at Riverside Methodist Hospital/ Fresh Start Bariatrics. I was completely elated with my weight loss for two weeks which was a bit over 18 bls. I am now in the blended diet and struggling to figure out what consistency my food should be but I will get it. I am determined and now searching for a support group locally. Good luck to all that have already been on their journey or those that are just starting.

Nice to meet you all. I am still trying to figure out how to get around the forums but looking forward to watching everyones progress.

Hi everyone. My surgery was 2/3/14 so I am two weeks and one day post op. My post op appointment is in the morning and while I am out I would like to stop at the store for a few items. I think this diet I am going into is blended. Can anyone tell me the difference between blended and liquid? I would really like to venture out to something with more nutrition . I am constantly struggling with amounts of prepared foods. I have been using the homemade Protein smoothies which are much better than that awful powder..lol Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will follow up tomorrow with my total weight loss since my surgery date. My stats were 5 feet tall, 242 lbs when my journey began so my BMI was 49.6. I was 234 two days pre surgery and have not been weighed yet so tomorrow is the day for sure. I am very excited because I can feel a difference already.
