My rating if a lot different than the first month. For the first two weeks I was on clear liquids and the two weeks following I was on full liquids. I haven't really found anything this my new stomach can't handle. I had to start adding vegetables and greens in sooner than expected because my gallbladder did not like all the proteins in my system. Congratulations on your weight loss! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

How is everyone doing? It has been radio silent on this page for a while. We are coming up on three months and I have lost 50lbs. Wish it was more but you know slow and steady wins the race.

Happy two month surgaversary!!!!!

It didn't thank goodness! I mean I looked seven months pregnant. Lol he had me do a version of the preop colon cleanse and it helped a lot.

Soooooo, Friday I woke up and my belly was so distended I looked pregnant! Went to see my surgeon and was informed that my gallbladder didn't like all the protein I was eating. He recommended I incorporated leafy greens and more fat of all things. He told me to do a little cleanse for a day and I will be all good. All the bloating is gone.

I MISS COFFEE!!! Just throwing that out there... Lol

I went back to the gym yesterday after almost a year absence. I have been walking/jogging since surgery so in some aspects it's like I haven't left. Debating on getting a trainer...

I stalled also. I didn't know if it was from the constipation issue but I have gone past both now. I discovered if I added a little more fat to my diet I became "regular" again. I went out for the first time last Wednesday with some friends and it was harder than I thought it would be. I love my Irish whiskey and beer, and not being able to have any for a while kinda kills me.

Pardon me if this is a little too much, but has anyone been really constipated? lol I have tried everything... Stool softeners, laxatives, tea. Only have a BM about once a week. I don't have a blockage or anything of the sort (Dr at work checked me out). I've heard the sleeve drastically changes your regularity but darn it. lol

I have had Fat Free Ritz crackers and haven't had a problem. You just have to make sure you chew very, very well.

Why thank you! I work 15 hour days overnight so eating all what I a supposed to is really hard. The green stuff is hummus. Than in the middle is chicken salad made with low fat mayo. The little container at the bottom with chicken strip looking this is a Beyond Meat dish. Beyond Meat is a faux meet product made of soy and pea Proteins (really tastes like chicken. texture and everything). Its killer good and has 25g of Protein per 4oz. And than the brown stuff is a Mexican chicken dish I made in the crockpot with kidney, black Beans, onion, red/green pepper and chipotle sauce. Nice soft high protein meals. Oh and I found those little Babybell cheese wheels and two strawberries make a wonderful snack.

Hopefully this meal prep helps me get in what they recommend for soft solids. I hope I can get it all in. The emergency room is very hectic so I have to make time to eat...

Happy one month anniversary!!!! I hope everyone is doing well! Happy one month anniversary!!!! I hope everyone is doing well!

I haven't really had cravings, but today I would kill for a Cuban sandwich and a deviled crab... wonder what they would taste like blended down lol

I went back to my full time job on Thursday, and my little part time gig las Tuesday. I tell ya, getting back into the swing of things and 14 hour ER shifts was tough. Especially when you really don't have time to take breaks to eat or drink anything. By last night it was better. I'm glad to hear everyone is doing well!
