I have settled into 2 lbs a week with stalls sometimes but am happy with my progress. Sometimes I wish I could eat like everyone else.... but then I think look at how far I've come... and my attitude changes and all is good. Working towards goal maybe by Christmas keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi bugsy :) Sorry I just now seen this post! I'm not around a whole lot on the weekends. Anyhow, I'll tell you I ate a lot of eggs for the first few months post op. I also ate a lot of Lower Sugar oatmeal from Quaker. I liked ground turkey for my meats. You can make that into a bunch of different recipes.

Here's a few websites I'm sure you will find helpful:

That website has TONs of recipes for bariatric folks like you and I, especially if you are newly op'd. :)

Hi there! My pleasure, and I don't do anything without postivity. I fully believe whatever emotion we push out, we will get that back. If I push out negativity, I will get that back. If I surround myself in a positive manner and with positive people, I ALWAYS get that back. There's no other way for me to live my life. :)

YOU are doing fabulous, keep up the excellent work!!

I have been on my WLS Journey since the Summer of 2007. I have encountered and overcome many ups and downs, but I have come to realize it's the LESSONS I've learned along the way that have made me the woman I am today. Not losing all of the weight, not getting fit and not even becoming comfortable with who I am.

I have learned:

How I feel about myself on the inside will ALWAYS reflect how my body looks on the outside. This is why I always fight to look strong.

How my spirit is dressed on the inside will always match what I wear on the outside. This is why I always maintain a respectful and nice wardrobe.

How my Soul is fed will always be a testimony to how I treat my loved ones and my friends. This is why I will always keep it real, regardless of how the outcome might befall.

How my inner world is organized and kept will always be spilled to my outside world. This is why I always make sure my house & home, and where ever I spend a significant amount of time is clean, in all ways possible.

Weight loss should not be about a number on a scale nor a number inside a pair of pants. It SHOULD be about life changing moments, and coming to terms with what brought us here. If we do not do that, we will always run the risk of putting those pounds back on. Something brought us to the point where we realized it was out of control, work out those issues, and make your goal about fixing that. The rest of your life and keeping the weight off depends on it.

Sexy is how you feel on the inside... not what you wear on the outside.

Wants and Needs are two very different things. Do you really need that? Or do you just WANT it? It is also the very difference between feeling full and being satisfied... or even head hunger and REAL hunger. Good luck figuring all this out! ;o))

      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?

      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.
