lloydthumper : it does take a few days but so worth it. take small sips, not swallows, it helps.

you might have posted this before but what is the follow up eating plan you are on? with my doctor there were certain types of food to eat for a week at a time...so it was 4 weeks before i was eating a "regular/normal" diet...but well worth the wait. Gave stomach some healing time.

i am happy to slide over and make room for you on the losers bench... Welcome!!!

Basically the same 1 week clears 1 week basically pre op 1 week mushys the slowly work back to food I have no problem following the directions to the T it's actually the same when I swallow or sip cold or hot all the same feels like someone stabs me with an ice pick for about 2 seconds then its gone. I've been sipping but I have slipped and swallowed. Thanks for scooting over I appreciate it.

Hi everyone sorry i have not been on in a while. Well it has been about 10 months since surger and only down 95 lbs. I have slacked off the past couple of months with the holidays but now it is time to get back into the swing. I am deteremined to lose another 70 lbs this year, I just started drinking a protien shake for Breakfast and will begin exercising again. I hope everyone else is doing well. I feel great and glad I made the choice to have the surgery. THere is a support group meeting on Tuesday 19th of Feb.

What is your Protein intake looking like? I'm 9 months out and down 139lbs to 186. My original goal was 180, but since I've been loosing so easily, I do believe I could get down to 160 and muscle up a lot more for definition, etc. I still drink a 30g Protein Shake every morning and sometimes one for lunch/dinner or a 30g Protein Bar then eat a few things here and there. I've been staying away from carbs, pastas, and pretty much anything that isn't good for me, but I have taken a liking to "Baked Naturals" crackers... they are SO DELISH! Cashews are my go-to munchy food, and I buy stock in eggs and 8x protein flavored Greek yogurt.

In October, I was supposed to get blood work done and have another follow-up appointment, but we've been strapped with money, and I've been putting it off. I've been good on Multivitamins, etc. so I don't feel like anything is wrong. The weight loss has slowed down, but that just means that I need to up my exercise and quit snacking so much throughout the day. Average pounds lost each month is now 8-9 depending on Water and whatever else.

I say keep up the good work, everyone! From what I read here and there, you all seem to be doing great!
