:thumbup: Hello.., 1st week after surgery... I am going today for my first post opp. app. and I am down 20 lbs. Soo.. excited and ready to loose more... Clear lqud has been tough, but I made it. Any suggestions, on my next step, "the mushies" ??

Thanks for all the great comments!!! It really helps, to think we can all support each other!! Question? I'm on week 4, the "muchies" What else can I eat besides, mash potatoes, soup and pudding?? msmom

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING, I HAD MY SURGERY ON MAY 5TH AND HAVE BEEN ON LIQUID FOR THREE WEEKS... IT WAS THE MOST DEPRESSED I HAVE EVER BEEN... I JOKED TO MY KIDS THAT I WAS GOING TO EAT THEIR TOENAILS, I WAS SO HUNGRY, BUT I DID IT... I AM SO PROUD OF MY SELF, AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING TO REALLY CHANGE MY LIFE.... GET YOU A NEW SET OF SCALES AND WEIGH YOURSELF EVERY OTHER DAY... YOU'LL START TO SEE THE LBS. FALL OFF & IT REALLY HELPS YOU KEEP YOR SANITY... tONIGHT, I HAD MASHED POTATOES, FOR THE 1ST TIME AND LICKED THE BOWL,"LIKE A DOG" BUT I HAVE MADE IT... IF I CAN DO THIS, YOU CAN TOO... I LOST 16 LBS IN THREE WEEKS.. NOTHING TASTES THAT GOOD... GOD BLESS YOU!!!

:thumbs_up: HAD MY SURGERY ON MAY 5TH, AND WENT FOR MY 1ST DR. VISIT TODAY, AFTER SURGERY... LOST 16 LBS. AND IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE... IT WILL TEST YOUR STRENGTH AND YOU WILL THINK YOU ARE GOING CRZY!!! BUT YOU CAN AND WILL GET THRU IT.. IF I DID IT ANYONE CAN... I EVEN HAVE 2 KIDS TO FEED... NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SEEING THAT WEIGHT FALL OFF... BE STRONG AND KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE... GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey Stacie, I just had my surgery last week and I'm going for my first pre-opp. today.. I've lost 22lbs and loving it, wanting more... I want you to know that the clear liquid was the hardest thing I ever had to do... especially having kids to take care of, too. But if I can do it any body can... You will think you are going crazy on about the 4th day of no food, then the weight just starts falling off. Get a st of scales and do not weight every day, but every couple of days and you will see the results... Remember... "ITs not forever and I Can Do This" Nothing tastes as good as Loosing Weight Feels... Go on walks, chew sugar free gum, add the sugar free cool aid/crystal light, to the water and Pray... Think of all the weight you'll loose by next year... I just found this talk forum, today and wished I had it last week, but maybe with everyone's advise, We all can do this... msmom
