Hello! I am feeling amazing! Thank you! I had my surgery done in NYC. I’m working hard to improve myself!!

I’m sorry. I’ve been sooooo busy!! I’m down to 227.5. Start weight was 241.5!! Going great!

12 days out post op and almost to the soft food stage!! I can’t wait!!!!

I would not dip any toes in the pool at all. I know that the liquid phase sucks, but what about sugar free popsicles? Have you tried premier protein or GNC? They are good and have different flavors. Also have you tried bone broth? Or maybe going to your favorite restaurant and ordering the soup and straining out the chunks? Just so you can have the broth and it feels like you’re eating something? What surgery did you have?

I am having yogurt.. It's okay.. But I think the problem is when you constantly eat the same things over and over and over.. NOTHING TASTES GOOD...

Full liquid diet is awful at the end.. It's so Monotonous...

I know.. I am over it.. lol already.

Hey guys ... I am 5 days post op. Feeling good about 90% back to myself.. However this liquid phase is for the birds. lol I hate the monotony!!!! I am trying to muscle through it.. pre op weight 241 currently at 235

Thank you for the information! I am 4 days out! I can’t wait to get through this stage! You gave me a lot to look forward to!

mel, I am scheduled for ESG Wednesday in 1 week!! Can't wait!! ash

Mel, Thank you so much for sharing your information with me... so many people have asked me... Are you sure? Do you really want to do this? Aren't you scared? Why can't you just work harder to lose the weight... But during these questions and the 40 years I have lived, I realized that my entire existence since I can remember, I have always been the cute chubby girl. The funny fat girl. I am tired. I am so much more than just the outside, but i am not comfortable in my body. I want to be able to fun, bike swim and not get winded. I want to feel comfortable all the time, not when I am starving myself. I have been mentally preparing and trying to convince myself that I am doing this for me and no one else. I am doing this to be an example for my daughter that it's okay to be strong and be positive and it's totally okay to put yourself first. Thank you so much.. I really appreciate it....

AmyA, Okay.. So grocery list is completed. I have got all my vitamins, my protein (read to drink) purchased, my creamed soups (when I am allowed to drink them) and also protein water and vitamin water zero already ready at home. I have been prepping myself mentally and telling myself that I need this, i want this and I deserve this. I am super excited and happy that I have found you and this group. It's inspiring to ready everyone's comments and I am super thankful for the encouragement and love. I appreciate it so much and believe me.. I will make sure everyone is seeing my results... Ash

AmyA, Thank you so much for your reply. I am staying in a hotel Wednesday and Thursday and going home Friday after my upper GI series. I live in Ohio Yes. We were going to fly home, but I didn't want to have to sit in a small plane and fly home if I happen to uncomfortable. So we are driving and I'm okay with it. I am super excited, but I do have anxiety. I think that it's normal to feel alittle scared. I think I'm more nervous about the 1st 2 days post op, but I love the office, and they are super sweet to me!! thus far... My goal is to lost 50 plus pounds, but I guess you get what you put in.. so that's my goal... Do you have a facebook? I'm on the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty fb group.... Much Love, Ash
