Well I'm two weeks out today and my Monday official weigh in came in at a total of 15 pounds down all post op. I'm feeling pretty good. I've had the craziest I guess gas that gurgles up my stomach and into my throat. It only does this at night when I'm on the bed. Kinda like a burp but no belching sound. My fiancé hears it and jumps out of bed like are you ok?! It feels so weird. Other than that I'm doing good. Getting hungry but I've Bern shutting it up with Water.

Ohhh speaking of hunger. I made an awesome dinner for me and the rest of you on puréed foods. It's ricotta cheese mixed with Parmesan cheese and an egg. Spread it in a dish and top with your favorite spaghetti sauce and top with mozzarella cheese! Bake on 450 for 20-25. It is awesome!! Tastes just like lasagna ESP the melted cheese it gives it a noodle texture lol. I got this from a blog somewhere and I apologize bc I don't remember the link.

Anyway just wanted to share what my two weeks out is like and a yummy lasagna like puréed recipe!! Have a great week!

Sounds like you're doing great!

I am one week post-op, down 16 lbs (7 post op) and not too hungry. Just eating Soups and Protein Shakes mostly.

I am super tired these days. I assume it is anesthesia and lack of calories. See the doctor tomorrow for one week follow up :)

Well I am 2 weeks out today too. And I had the same thing for dinner. You probably got it from www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. That's where I got it. Unfortunately when taking it out of my oven I spilled half of it all over my oven. Looks like I am going to learn how to clean my oven tomorrow....lol. Today was my first day of mushies. It felt good to actually eat something. I lost like 9 lbs the first week and the second I went up .5 lbs it is bumming me. I am hoping this week the scale will move again

Mattie- I felt that same way! It is just lack of food and anesthesia wearing off still. Good luck at your appointment tomorrow. Mine lasted a total of three minutes lol

Susan- you have got to try it! It's heaven in your mouth!

Jess- sorry to lol but that was my fear getting it out of the oven haha! Fortunately I wasn't my usual clutz self and didn't spill it. Yes that us the website! Have you seen her ice creams and shakes? Omg it's crazy! Don't get discouraged about the scale. I've read that when we reintroduce actual food to our bodies that we will stall and possibly gain. Just drink that water! I am going to start walking tomorrow but u have to do it immediately after work or it gets dark soon. I'm ready for spring!!

Amber - my surgeon said that a side effect of being tubby is "accident prone" LMBO, which I am.

So, I guess the moral of the story is.....we are going to get less clutzy!!! You think it's possible? I'm having my doubts personally....... :)

Haha that's interesting! I have my doubts too! I think I would be accident prone at 280 or 150 lol. My mom always tells people "well her name isn't graceful" lol

Yeah, I am very clutzy sometimes. I was trying to take it out with one hand (only ever got one pot holder, guess I need to get a second one). I agree with Amber, I think I still will be clutzy at 150 too...LOL. Though Mattie, it would be great if accidents decreased with my weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
