@@@deetz71 The first few days are hard. But you will get through them, and come out for the better. Give yourself time to heal. It was a major surgery. Keep following your doctors orders. And remember we are all with you. You are not alone. There are so very many of us that have been where you are at. Big hugs hun.

@@skc72 The water will take a few days to go away. Make sure you walk so ur body processes it out. And keep sipping water.

If i dont walk I dont lose. I have figured that out. Movement is required lol

Eh. I call it a pause. LOL Im losing again. I upped my calories (added a yogurt or cheese stick) and that seemed to get my losing to start back up. ????

Thanks so much for sharing Matthew!!!

Fantastic job!!! Way to work the sleeve

Congratulations!!!

Try looking for soy protein powders. Medifast is made from soy and has multiple flavors. I have a lot of left overs from doing that plan and even though it isnt as much protein in one drink (its closer to 12 grams per serving) at least its a liquid protein u can make with water.

Keep walking and that gas will work its way out. I had a massage about a week ago 4 or 5 weeks PO and asked her to work on my shoulder blades. It really helped finish it off. I just made sure she took it easy around my middle area so i didnt get any sore areas. It was fab!

I make soups with meat in it so I can get in more than one ounce. Lol Im not sure I could eat it otherwise. Ground is def easier. I forgot about cottage cheese. Ill pick some up tonite! And I cant eat scrambled eggs yet either. Makes NO sense. They r soft. Lol But I have seen a lot of folks have a hard time with them. We r not alone haha

Wow. I just walked 2.6 miles of hilly neighborhood. Up til now I've only done the somewhat flatter area nearby with lower hills. Woo hooo! Losing this weight is definitely going to make that trek easier as I keep going. I have a goal to make it to Disney in July and be able to walk the park aaaand ride a ride. Tall order. But I can DO IT! I will make a smaller goal of going to Six Flags and walking the park (I have a seasons pass) lol YAHOOOOO

Yay! That stage is def exciting! Lol Doing well. Hit a stall for about 10 days but moving again.

Beautiful transformation Tweet!

I saw a recipe for baked cabbage with parmesan that I want to do now too lol. Might have to save some from the soup and do that this week too!

Tomorrow cabbage and beef and beans soup. Wed. Green beans with chicken. Cant wait for tomorrow's soup!

I had surgery on 2/27/15. SW 338. DOS 308. CW 298. Stalled on week 3 for about 10 days. Ate anbout 800 calorie day and my scale finally dropped. I am going to do the 1 time a week weigh in. Otherwise I will be bonkers. Lol

Way to go!!!

Woo hoo!!! Way to work that sleeve!

I gained 8 lbs from the morning of surgery to day I got back from the hospital. Took me five days to lose it. Happen to anyone else? Not super concerned but dang!

Yeah. My innards (lol) kept me laughing for awhile. They were quite LOUD. The, ugh, liquid in/liquid out lasts until you up your proteins or start on solids. It too shall pass. ????

I turned wrong once too and it took about a week to get over it. The pillows are a lifesaver.

Need to keep using your breathing thingy they give you at the hospital to keep your lungs operating well. And walk walk walk. Every hour or two. It will get the gas out that they put in during surgery.

Fantastic news! So glad you are on this side now! I know the time leading up to and a short while after are nerve wracking but now the surgerybis behind you. ???? Glad you had no complications and are doing well with your liquids too. Woo hoo!

Amazing results everybody! So proud of you!!!

You probably got a list of accepted foods from your doc and nutritionist. Clear soups, sugar free popsicles and sf jello. 2% milk. Water of course.
