myezzence 4 Posted July 21, 2011 This has been amazing short journey, which I'm glad I did. My surgery date was july 15, and folks I have lost 27 lbs. Yesterday, I had my first post op appt, and my dr said I did an amazing job, but I was having problems finding the right Protein drink for me, but I found one at last that I simply love with a little Water to dilute the sweetness, and it has 40 gms of Protein and no sugar...cytomax tropical flavor bottled. Officially, I have progressed to soft moist foods, so I can eat fish, watermelon, spinach..things like that...I'mmmmm so excited...nothing new to you all. Oh I'm in onderland!!! I was wondering, now that I am eating will the weight lost slow down, stop or what happens now? Sheri Before pre op: 224 lbs Pre op diet - 6 days: 208 lbs After surgery hospital had IVs - Gained all 16lbs 224 Today : 196 lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kellyw74 258 Posted July 22, 2011 GOOD JOB!! Yes, once I started eating real food, my loss did stop!! But, it was only temporary. It is like your body doesn't understand the food thing. I started losing again after about 2 weeks on real food. It all works out!! Kelly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
