My surgery was August 9th, I stated at 347 and now down to 276. Woohoo

@fluffychix where did you find the food diary?

Where did you find that printable diary for your food?

This is cool. I’ve been thinking about going back on a liquid diet for a few days. I’m at stage 3 and actually gained 5 pounds. FML. I’m not doing something right.

Omg. Don’t listen to them. The pain is very mild. I’ve had a c-section before and that was pain. This was nothing for me. You will be fine. Besides it is all worth it in the end.

Me too. I’d love a grilled cheeseburger flavored shake or buffalo wings or meatloaf flavored lol

I am extremely iron sensitive I will have cramps round the clock, even with vitamins C. So u have to get iron elsewhere, food. I got this recipe from my mother. It’s for spinach, which I love anyway but have always eaten it raw. It is really delicious and I’ve puréed it too. You can use raw, frozen or canned. Just try to get out as much extra liquid as possible. In your pan add a little olive oil and butter. You will add minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook this till the onions are about halfway done. Then add your spinach and stir it all together. Cook until there is hardly and liquid left. Don’t cover it. Then add a little grated Parmesan cheese and you are in business. I hope this helps anyone with iron sensitivity.

Thank you everyone. Good luck to everyone. We will conquer?

You will get there. Everyone’s journey is different. Don’t give up!

GB on 8/9. By 8/20 I lost 32 lbs. that’s insane. I already got wings and need some compression wear for my arms.

That’s insane. Good luck

I had it after I left the hospital. But my bout with it seemed to be stimulated by clear warm liquids. So I stopped eating the broth and it worked

Hi had bypass 8/9. Hope you are doing well. I’m new here so I don’t know how this works
