I loved egg salad but haven't been able to tolerate eggs yet :( I have been making the SF FF butterscotch pudding and mixing in with it the unflavored Unjury Protein powder... that has been my savior I get my protein and satisfy that sweet craving. I have been playing around with things. My favorite so far is beef stew in the crock pot. YUMM

Devine MissM, I am still on Protein Shakes and I'm sick of them. So your dr said you can eat egg salad? I am dying to eat something else. I start puree food next Saturday.

I was in the 15th lost 18lbs the first week. Then it slowed to mere ounces a day. Now it's 12 oz to a lb again in my 3rd week. At one week out the Dr ordered me to eat soft foods and that's what caused it for me. I wasn't getting enough calories and blacking out. I started at 220 now today I'm at 195

Wow! Good loss numbers. Mine is coming off slow, but I'm happy the scale is moving. I haven't had any kind of loss like yours... 18 lbs is mind boggling.

I haven't lost anything since I went to the doctors. Still not moving my bowels like I think I should be so today I took some Fiber. Anyone else have any suggestions. I hope that's the issue.

I'm 1 month post-op on week 5 of my eating plan, still soft foods. I just don't know how many calories I should be getting in. I'm doing good to get in 500-600 a day. I haven't lost any weight this past week and it is a little discouraging. I'm too tired to get any exercise in, take naps daily. However, I did have something wonderful happen this week. I had my blood pressure taken. I was concerned since I haven't taken any bp meds since my surgery. It was 117 over 78!! What!!! I don't not have to take any more bp meds already!! Plus diabetes symptoms are all gone!! The number on the scale doesn't seem to matter as much when I get news like this!!

So I'm 9 days post op. All together I've lost 20 pounds. My doctor said I have to be on liquids for 3 more weeks. The creamy Soups are ok, I haven't had much of an appetite. But glad I can eat more than just broth.

I'm much better emotionally. Looking forward to chatting with you all more and learning from each other's experiences.

I will be 3 weeks post op and have lost a total 18 lbs since my surgery. I am so happy with that lost. Today I have made it to my first goal. I have 9 lbs to go to reach my second goal. Thank god I feel great. I do get a little bummed when I go to friends and family get together because it always seems to be around lots of food. But I stay positive knowing that I'm losing this awful weight. I no longer have to take blood pressure medicine. So happy about that and excersice is much easier than it used to be. I have had some Constipation but I know have 1 cup of Decaf every morning and it seems to be helping. Prayers for everyone

Good Luck!! I return to work tomorrow and I'm in the same boat. No one knows I had wls. A few of my co workers know I had surgery and I'm on a restricted diet but that is it.

I hope your day went well. Chin up

I just had my coworkers tell anybody who asked about me while I was out. That I have had surgery. I'm working from home for 2 months too thank god. But I don't care what people think. I did this for me not for them

I told people at work that I was having surgery, just not what kind. People haven't really asked and I haven't offered. Those that did ask... I just said, on my abdomen.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
