Awaiting insurance approval

14 weeks 4 days Post Surgery HW 265 SW 241 CW 195 I no longer like meat...I can eat fish and fruits and veggies. I drink lots of protein shakes and lots of flavored water. I am 3 lbs from my goal weight. Then once I hit my goal weight and maintain for 3 months then it is body reconstruction surgery.

Oops..SW 265 lbs Oops HW 265.

Just a short update.... HW 264 SW 241 CW 200 GW 150 I haven't been exercising like I should. Starting a new in May! I am getting my liquids in. Unfortunately, not all my Protein. Smh. I really need advice on a great Protein Powder to put in everything. I can't eat meat too much anymore. I eat lots of Fruit, drink lots of water, and eat lots of eggs. I believe Protein Powder is going to be my Bariatric Diet Savior.

Awesome

I would love to hear how everyone is doing. SW 265lbs Then 244 lbs before surgery 241 lbs on Surgery date CW 228lbs Pretty good so far..I'm getting in my pureed foods...Getting in my water/liquids....haven't exercised as much...that's going to change as of this week. Incisions healing but hurt still from time to time..no nausea, comitted twice because I over ate. ..lesson learned.

Hello everyone. ..had my surgery on 2/24...weighed 241....currently 228lbs...12 days out. Vomited twice because I ate too much. Completely learned my lesson. This crushed pill thing is the pitts. I am definitely getting my water n food in when I try. I don't always eat the complete amount called for but I eat something. My incisions seem to be healing well although they still hurt from time to time and the Tylenol does nothing for it. My treadmill somehow wad broken 1 wk before surgery and my husband just ordered the part..it should be here this upcoming week? I've walked around my block several times felt a little dizzy, so I doing it in moderation. I truly hope this pureed food thing ends after tomorrow. I have my first Post Op appt. with my Dr. I cannot wait. Oh one of my favorite things to drink is Chicken Broth.....love love love it...before surgery I would have never thought to drink just plain broth. wrkngonme2015

I will clean this morning...purchase my pureer prepare several meals get my GasX, Flinstone Chewables, MOM, a few groceries, powdered egg whites, powdered milk, medicine size drinking cups and some baby spoons...Then I'll be ready!!!

@@hzrizen1 the 24th, too. Wisconsin.

@@lovebugg2013 everything is going ok here....yesterday I received my cycle and I'm afraid it will be here on surgery day...I've been on my 1800 Cal diet since Tuesday it is going good. I'm hoping to lose another 10lbs before surgery next Tuesday.Not sure if I shared that I do not have to do liquids for a week or two Post Surgery. I will start eating pureed foods right away. Actually one I can tolerate water and walking. TTYL

@@lovebugg2013 was wondering how is it going?

@ GeminiSleever...I will be thinking about you having surgery ad I am trying to get that 3rd lap around my Fl at hospital in order for me to go home on the 25th. Sending GOOD vibes to everyone and wishing everyone a speedy recovery.

@Melanie36...Good Luck...I will be meeting you on the losing side on Feb. 24th.

Glad that you are on your way home. Take care and please keep us updated. wrkngonme2015

Ok...just came back from a 3 hour PreOp visit. Dr.'s are so different. Not to say either is right. Annyway..my Dr. does not require a PreOp liquid diet. As soon as I am out of sugery I drink water first day. Next day I eat pureed foods in hospital. As long as I can go to the restroom and am not in pain that is unmanageable I can leave after dinner. I do have to make sure I can walk fairly comfortably and can blow on that contraption they give you. Lastly, I only have to take a Flinstone Daily Chewable Vitamin. No other supplements until 2nd month. WOW.

You look great. Keep up the good work. You definitely are an inspiration. wrkngonme2015

@ Tall Girl 74....my surgery is the 24th too. I have an appt. On the 26th and I hope I can make it. Best of luck and I will check back in with you to see how everything went. Are you on a liquid fiet yet? Have you done any of your Pre-Op tests at this time?
