Jyoyonomore 319 Posted October 21, 2014 So I weighed myself this morning one week after my surgery. I realized last night out with my husband for some quick shopping that my size 22 pants were pretty big. That Fat brain is still working???? So here are my stats One week ago on my Surgery Day. I weighed 244.5 and today I'm 236.9 Lbs. That's 7lbs in one week!!!! But even better news. Back in August being the planner & organizer I'am I decided to just track my food intake using "MyFtnessPal.com an AP I love. I was amazed at how much sodium some of my food choices contained despite being low Cal so I started choosing something else. So from the end of August until I started my PreOp liquids that's all I did. Well because of that on Surgery Day I had lost 10pds using the AP and 10Pds doing the PreOp liquid Diet. Soooooooo get Ready Gladiators ......... All together I went from 264 pounds my highest weight ever in Life to 244.5 on Surgery Day. That's means I lost 27.1 Lbs all together & this time thanks to VSG I'm never, never going back!!! So take that Fat Brain????????☺️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superbariatricbabe 180 Posted October 21, 2014 Careful with Cream of Stuff soups! Last night I tried a couple spoonfuls of cream of celery ( the Campbell's healthy version made with skim milk) and had my first baaaad tummy reaction. My pouch was very unhappy for 3 hours- nausea, gurgling, diarrhea. My husband rested his head on my stomach and said it sounded like a bubbling angry cauldron- very appropriate and festive for October! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
