Wow, onederland, congratulations. I haven't seen that in over 20 years. I cant wait. Did you loose all 16 pounds since surgery or with preop too?

That is counting pre-op too. Was 215, day of surgery was 206

@@Kpar909956 congrats on test results, really happy for you

@@Kya Wolf- yay you for reaching wonderland. Can't wait!

@@chellede you are cracking me up! You are clearly in a good mood today. Love that you not only had the confidence to wear a bikini( which is cute by the way) but I also love that you have the courage to share it with everyone

Hope you are enjoying your night out w/the girls

Went for one week f/u today, lost 7.2 lbs I am happy w/ that. Every pound lost is a reason to Celebrate. Looking forward to starting mushies tomorrow. It was funny, my nutritionist explained that the mushies is very boring stage. I thought, is she crazy? This is exciting! I am so looking forward to being able to chew. I may agree w/Her in a couple of weeks but tonight , super excited!

Trying my best to keep up with you active chatters

Congrats to all on doing so well. I am not seeing my MD until next Weds and have to keep going with clear liqs and milk/protein shakes until then. I have been dying to taste some creamed Soup for crying out loud..but the fear of problems is keeping me honest..funny how that can motivate.

@chellede what is 'double milk' I would love to get 60g of Protein in one hot chocolate. BTW you are gorgeous in the bikini...I love your attitude!

I had a day of retail therapy at the mall with my friend, and fantasized about all of the great outfits I will soon be able to fit into. It did me a world of good to get out and do that today.

It was also my youngest's 6th birthday, and I have successfully stayed away from frosting and ice cream...perhaps my sugar whore days are over, because I didn't even want them!

I was glad to read that the pain kind of comes and goes, because I had been pain free for two days, then it returned today, so all normal.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, Leslie

My surgeon works out of Metarire. His name is Dr. Michael Thomas. I was sleeved in Slidell. Whose your surgeon

Hey Lovely! My surgeon is Thomas Lavin...he works with your doctor! How are you feeling? When was your surgery?

[rmspencer 79]

Hiya everyone! Hope everyone's Saturday is off to a brilliant start I shed another 1.2lbs yesterday which is making me super happy since I felt like yesterday wasn't a fantastic day for me. My incision right under my left boob continues to bother me so I'm still on the extra strength tylenol. I had pretty runny bowel movements and actually what felt like an upset stomach. I tried something new to eat yesterday. I ground up turnip root into a paste like consistency and had that (it's a traditional Chinese style food) and I loved it, but I don't think my stomach agreed. Oh well!

[Kathy812 794]

@@rmspencer great job in weight loss, I lost the same amount as you today!

I started on mushies this morning, trying to eat one egg, only ate 5 bites. Went down ok but did give me a little belly discomfort but feels so good to chew!

[trvlgrl 50]

My surgery was Thursday and I'm starting on liquids today. My stomach constantly talks to me which is annoying. Sometimes it feels like I'm starving but I'm hoping that's just acid curbing around. Any idea when my tummy will start feeling normal and stop talking to me? ????

[rmspencer 79]

@@trvlgrl My surgery was 10/13 and my stomach still gurgles pretty constantly. You might think you feel hunger, but if you think about it, you're not really having the "I'm starving" feeling. It's hard to explain, but I know exactly what you're thinking. My stomach grumbles like it's hungry, but when I stop and think about it, I'm not really.

[trvlgrl 50]

True... I understand what you're saying. So much grumbling. It's funny when I'm around others because they're probably wanting to feed me to shut it up!

[KarenF1972 78]

Morning all! I was a little sore yesterday but OMG is my left side sore today! Sitting in the car and felt like I had to try to move my stomach around to let it settle into a more comfortable position. What the heck is up with this?!

[Kimberly_R 43]

I'm grumbling alot of the time, too. It doesn't bother me too much. Looking forward to pureed foods starting Monday. Those of you who are already in that stage, what are some of your favorites?

[Kathy812 794]

@@Kimberly_R I just started this stage today. I had half of an egg w/fat free cheese. Quite a few people mentioned that the pinto Beans w/cheese from Taco Bell w/mild sauce is pretty tasty & ricotta bake from eggface got great reviews too. Actually. You can google "puréed foods, eggface "for other suggestions
