Happy Monday to you. Today is my first day back as well. I feel pretty good. I wore flats today. Lol. But I did wear a lil dress that is noticeably looser than the last time I wore it. Im excited about that.

I started pureed foods today, but nothing sounds good so ate some broccoli cheese Soup. I do have other things on hand, but I'm wondering if I'm going to have to force myself to eat. Never thought I'd have that problem. Then going through clothes to go back to work on Wednesday.

Mine is liquid/pureed and its not much of a variety. creamy Soups, cream of wheat baby food consistency fruit and yogurt. Not appetizing at all. My doc gave a strict list.

Im on soft/mushy foods but it's been hard getting my requisite fluids and Protein in. Think of it this way - you're maximizing weight loss potential!! ;P

I'm on soft foods

Just had a great 3-week post op visit with my surgeon and nutritionist. Down 27 pounds from last visit, 22 from surgery. Down 37 pounds from the start of the pre-op diet 5 weeks ago. Suspending diabetes and hypertension medication (hopefully to never start again!!). I'm the lightest I've been in at least 5 years. Healing well, working out. Feeling good, looking good, kicking butt and taking names!! ????????????

Still working on getting fluids and Vitamins in but my nutritionist says I'm where I'm supposed to be and as long as I keep trying, that's the key.

Today is a happy day! I hope it's the same for all of you!!

This week has been a stall week. I'm doing great but the weight loss is stalled at 215.

Back to work tomorrow, boo hoo. Would have gone back Monday, but Dr & HR dept couldn't get it together. My coworkers say they are missing me which means the there must be a lot of stuff piled on my desk. But they have all been very supportive of my journey, which is awesome! On pureed foods, shouldn't be a problem since I live close enough to come home for lunch.< /p>

I know im a couple days late but Happy One Month Ladies!! Hows everyone doing?

Ive been great so far. Im down about 30lbs. Ive been adding some exercise now. Just walking right now but I will be doing some work out classes in June.

Hi April 21sters! Hope you are all doing well! I am down 29 lbs. Had a 8 day stall that ended 4 days ago. For exercise I am mostly walking with a little weights as I had hiatal hernia and still not supposed to lift over 15 lbs. There's for sure been some challenges but over all doing great. So happy I am on this journey. Wishing you all your dreams come true!!

Hey all!!

I'm down 30 pounds and feeling pretty great. Thankfully I have no complications and have been able to work out regularly - and hour of cardio most days (elliptical, treadmill, bike).

I had a family wedding this past weekend and I looked fabulous People were amazed at my transformation and I just felt wonderful.

See my before and after below. The green dress is from June 2013. The black dress, this past Sunday, is 60 pounds lighter(30 pre-op, 30 post-op).

It's also been confirmed that I'm no longer diabetic nor hypertensive and can stop those medications!

I hope everyone else is doing well!
