Ruthi replied to Feffers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very Good advice Mac, I couldnt have put it better -
Kelly, Yes I am about 10 weeks out and doing great. I went back to work 1 day after discharge and had no problems. I am now on solid foods and have lost 27 lbs. I am a bit slower than others but that doesnt really bother me, it is steady and well slow and steady wins the race, right.? My first month out was ok and I hated the clear liquid phase with a passion like everyone else but its very temporary and I felt better with the full liquids and the mushie phase was awesome after 2 weeks of the other 2 phases. You will love the sleeve. Welcome Sleeve sista

Mac I have the same problem, I live alone so any leftovers are all mine and it takes several days to eat the whole thing unless I eat it for every meal and thats not gonna happen.

Beans should be ok, they are soft and then you chew them well before swallowing, you should be fine. The chili sounds good!

Leslie Sansone just doesnt do it for you anymore huh? -
Wayyy funny, I still have undies in many sizes along with Jeans of many sizes, shirts of many sizes etc. All due to many yrs of losing weight and gaining it back, I could be the next thrift store.
