Foaming sucks!!!

You look great! Keep up the good work.

Way to go AuriP. I am right behind ya by 2 pounds. That's a good way to think about it. New Year's would be so Happy under 200. Have not seen that in over 20 years!!!!

@"amylynns". When I was on puréed I was so over it by 5 weeks. So I ate a lot of soup and chili and chewed it in my mouth until it was puréed. Lol. ????

That is exactly how I felt. As your stomach heals you start feeling more of your food as it enters and if you take in too much. And your body is still adjusting so it's not sure what to do. At about 5 weeks everything started to really work.

@"Beni" thank you for the support. I bet you look great! And you will get there where people notice. We all will. That healthy, happy place. My co-workers do know... So we will see. Sounds like aside from the stall almost 30 pounds is awesome! Also.. I lost a little in week 1. Then nothing until week 4. Now it has been coming off pretty steady.

Thanks amylynns. I am on soft foods. I eat a lot of cottage cheese, tilapia. I did get this chicken which is weight watchers brand.. 31 grams of protein. I cannot eat all in one sitting, but very good. I ate some steamed broccoli today. I eat eggs. I can eat pasta, but try not to eat too much. I love soups and chili. I found these frozen Greek yogurt bars. The chocolate is so yummy. 7 grams of protein. String cheese. Lunch meets with cheese. Cooked carrots. Ground hamburger or turkey. The chicken bothered me a little. Not sure if I ate it slow enough. Veggie burgers settle well. I have been eating veggie burger with cottage cheese for lunch. I have been craving chocolate milk but have not had it due to the sugar. I had a Special K bar the other day for a treat, It settled very well. I have only had water, no other drinks. I like red potatoes to.

Exactly. Thank you!

So I can't believe tomorrow is 6 weeks post-op. On Wednesday I go back to work. I am afraid everybody will be expecting this transformation and I keep thinking... What if I look exactly the same!?!? I am down 22 pounds since surgery, 40 since I started process. But I am down, I am exercising everyday, I have this wonderful opportunity to change my life and for this I am thankful.

I am so sorry! ???? hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I transitioned to soft foods today. I was so excited but it definitely feels a lot heavier when it hits your pouch. I can only eat a couple of bites or I feel like throwing up. It's a process... Enjoy the journey. ????

Tacycakes I am so sorry. This will definitely be a journey. I really wish you all the best.. I am praying for you girl.

You look amazing!!! Way to go!!!

Luna222... See that scale scares me!!!! Good luck to you too!!

I think it would be just fine puréed. ????

Tomorrow will be 1 month out from surgery. I completed 5 miles on the elliptical today. I was so proud of myself. I may even weigh myself tomorrow. I have avoided the scale as to not get discouraged incase I am not losing as fast as others. Just enjoying the journey!!!

I was cleared for everything EXCEPT abdominal. They said no abdominal for 6 weeks.

You go girl!

That's exactly how I feel. ????

Great job!!! Down 20. I am 3 weeks out also and I am only down 10.

I took 6 weeks off. I only have one shot to focus on me and the surgery. ????

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

First... Happy Belated Birthday and good luck. Sounds like you're going to do great!!!!

Good luck Beni!!! So excited for you!

So I have been doing 2 miles a day on treadmill or elliptical. Today 3 miles on the elliptical!!!
