:biggrin: I WAS 253 WHEN I STARTED ON THIS JOURNEY. I LOST 19 LBS PRIOR TO SURGERY. I HAVE LOST 11LBS SINCE. A TOTAL OF 30. I WENT TO MY FIRST SUPPORT GROUP MEETING LASTNITE AND FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THE BATTLE WE ARE ALL STRUGGLING TO WIN. I GOT LOTS OF TIPS FROM THE GROUP AND INSIGHT INTO THE FIRST FILL WHICH IM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT. I ALSO GOT SOME GREAT TIPS ON FOODS TO TRY AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN EATING CERTAIN THINGS. ITS AMAZING HOW THE SURGERY AFFECTS EVERYONE DIFFERENTLY. I CAN HONESTLY SAY I CANT WAIT TO START EATING FOOD. I WAS ON THE LIQUID DIET FOR SIX WEEKS PRIOR TO SURGERY BECAUSE I HAD TO BE ADMITTED INTO THE HOSPITAL WITH AN INFECTION SO THEY HAD TO POSTPONE MY SURGERY FOR TWO WEEKS. IVE BEEN ON SOFT FOODS FOR 1 WEEK NOW AND IM RUNNING OUT OF CREATIVE IDEAS TO CHANGE UP WHAT IM EATING. ANY HINTS WOULD BE WELL APPRECIATED. WELL MUST GO TO WORK. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.:thumbup:
