finally, hit 50 pounds!!

i'm about 7 weeks out, lost 44 pounds but now wondering where to turn. my doc said i could try regular foods just alot smaller portions but i feel like i'm still taking pee-pee steps.. when did everyone start lettuce? i really want tuna and cheese wrapped in a lettuce leaf... sounds delicious to me

i month post op today... i've lost 38 pounds total and 16 of them have been since surgery. iit's going a bit slower than i expected but i'm still very pleased with my results thus far!!!!!!

i think i just over did it by running the sweeper

today is my 1 week post-op mark.... i can't believe i've already made it this far. Last night i tried some cottage cheese and it was tough but i don't think i chewed it enough, today i did really well with greek yogurt and i'm able to explore with my purees now. Any tasty ideas that work well for others during the puree stage, please share and i'll do my best to try all the suggestions

waiting to hear how your doing... excellent, i hope!

hey everyone! just wanted to let ya'll know that i'm home from my sleeve, resting...gettiing my fluids in and am about to unjury chicken soup protein. My doc said over the next few days just to try and focus on water because dehydration during this time period is likely to occur and he doesn't want me bloated on protein and not taking in water. Boiy, my experience was different than i thought. I woke up from surgery with a great deal of pain on my lieft side but as soon as i told my nurse it was controlled. The doctor said my case was difficult because my liver didn't shrink as much as expected leaving him not much room to get around in my belly. I did have a drain placed to help rid excess fluid out my abdomen, which was removed this morning before i came home... I made it home in time to go to my sons football game and i was ok there. I'm feeling just tired and a little weak but everyday is getting better and hopefully will continue to..... talk to everyone soon!

got my call... hospital at 7:45 am for surgery tomorrow,... yay. please pray that everything goes as planned!

start clear liquids tomorrow and wait on the phone call saying what time i have to be there for surgery on thursday... getting anxious!

day 4 of pre-op liquids, feeling good. Not really hungry but i've tried to stay away from food and the sight of food because my head hunger is trying to mess with me. Three more days then one day all clear liquids and it's all over

having really bad cramping in my leg.... any suggestions?
