mezanne1401 190 Posted November 21, 2012 I had my 1-week postop visit with my surgeon today and this has to be one of the happiest days in a long time!!! I'm down 27 pounds since Oct 31 and 10 pounds since surgery on Nov 12!!!! I was still on full liquids when I went in and he said since I have had no nausea or vomiting, I can advance to very soft!!!!! I get to skip puréed and I am stoked about that. I dreaded that phase more than anything! I've had a huge smile on my face since 3 o'clock!!!! Best decision ever to do the surgery! 2 Susie in Lima and FDclerical reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mezanne1401 190 Posted November 21, 2012 I am being very careful advancing my diet. I'm doing everything I can to avoid the pain from food/liquid. I went shopping this afternoon since I only had cream Soups and got a lot of noodle Soups and had for dinner. Felt so good to chew even if I did look like a toothless cow!!! Be sure to keep your head up about your weight loss. I had 160-170 pounds to lose, so it will come off faster depending on the amount you need to lose. You can do it!!!
