dcox20 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Well I had to share with you guys!!! I had my first weigh in today at my post-op visit (was banded 10/20). They took my bandages off of my suture sites as well (gross) So I started at 365 on the day of the operation Weigh in today: 342! 23lbs Baby! I'm stoked, I had figured on 8 and my wife said 10 but neither of us expected 23! I know it will slow down and most of that is probably Water weight, but still! what a great start! to top it all off, I finally am able to burp!!! let out about 5 really good ones and relieved a ton of pressure Also, they graduated me to the Puree stage of the diet - where I'm to stay for 2 more weeks. I'm going to add in excersize as soon as I feel up to it. WOOHOOO!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anwyn 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Congratulations!! What an amazing kick off to your weight loss. Try refried Beans for a mushy - I lived on them during the mushy stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted October 27, 2005 Oh yeah, and guacamole...the real stuff made from fresh avocados. You can get a seasoning packet by Concord Foods in the produce sections. Add a little to a smashed avocado...yummy mushy!!! Chew well. Great weight loss! Here's hoping for lots more and soon! Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
