I'm 7 days post op, and like you say, things get better every day, i've lost 13lbs so far, but can't feel it clothes wise yet as i'm still very bloated from surgery, hoping to make some potato & veg Soup later from the liquid stage thread, i'll let you know how it goes.

Toots2,

thanks toots. i was wondering why my pants/belt weren't moving into a more comfortable fit after a week, and i suspected it was related post-surgical swelling. must be it.

your soup sounds great!

try a tablespoon of almond butter (smooth, of course). :hungry:
