I couldn't and wouldn't follow your plan. That's just too much for me.

Beans are on my plan starting week 4, but my surgeon is a little conservative. I don't understand the no beans at all.

My daughter was able to eat Beans but in doing so it gave her terrible gas & Irrigated her stomach. So now she is going to wait till week 6 to try them again!

Hey all, my weight dropped from 379 to 361 and i was able to stand, walk and maneuver into my clothes extremely well. My PCP was extremely excited to see me and she took me off my blood pressure meds completely and my breathing is excellent. Im so happy to be chugging along yet im scared of the future like what if don't make to my goal. I never set goals or promise cause they get flubbed up when i do.

Maybe pureed beans is ok but whole beans are not.

That is awesome @Sweet as peaches. Yay for no more bp meds!!

Have faith in yourself. You can do anything that you decide to do, you are strong. Just set smaller goals that are easier and keep working your way to the grand final.

I have driven a couple of times and I felt fine.

I am watching my granddaughter for the first time today since surgery. She is nine months old and is definitely wearing me out lol.

I am determined to get to 70g of Protein today. I am going to make another pot of Soup tonight. I think I will use squash, green Beans, peppers, onions, red potatoes and some smoked turkey sausage. I may throw some in the blender and purée it up good so I can have more than just broth.

Thank you that means a lot i guess believing in myself is sometimes hard when you let yourself down with goals. I am going to push myself slowly.

Yeah, they didn't sit very well with me either. But I'll try again some time, cause I love beans!

Forget your PCP, I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED you're off BP meds!!! Whoo whoo!!! 😊 Lol

i agree with @Apple1, small goals. What would be your next small goal? Cause you got rid of a med already. 😉

I've been driving for three days now. I have a longer commute here and it hasn't been a problem.

That sounds so good!

I think we should all come up with a small attainable goal at some point. I'd have to think on mine though.

Well, my pants slid on like butter today. It was nice not to have to yank and pull my jeggings up. I'm quite happy about that. Yesterday I wore my jeans, gave me saggy butt pants, already. Ugh. They were so uncomfortable, I had to zip them down (thankfully no one was in the office) because it kept rubbing against my incisions. So, won't be wearing those ever again! Yay!
