I just had my first meal....broth, crystal light, and Jello never tasted so good! Thanks for checking in everyone, (best decision ever)

I’m home now (came home Wednesday at 10:30 am)and feel great, I’ve lost 16 pounds already, I’m sure was getting through the Water weight from iv, I have to drink really slow, I can feel it like pressure on my stomach if I swallow to much, but I’m told that will get better with days, I finally pooped today and it was normal, I really don’t feel all the pressure from air everyone talks about, maybe once in a blue moon in my shoulders, I walk and it’s gone, I am up and down a lot to get comfortable and to make sure I keep my legs moving but otherwise this has been a walk in the park. I have only had to use the oxy a couple times the first day home and that was for muscle strains.

Keep up the forward progress!

The last couple days I’ve been having trouble with drinking the Protein Shakes, everything is super sweet and the shakes are hard to keep drinking, I just went to GNC and got some Isopure, I’ll see how that goes, other than that I’m down 25 pounds 6 days out, I feel great, the weather was great today and I went out and cleaned my car out and stuff, no problems, I think I’ll go to work tomorrow, one week out and I feel fine to do so. Finally able to sleep on my side last night too

[Bigman12345 58]

Oh and btw I loved the shakes before the surgery, just everything tastes too sweet now

[Kim58 8]

Wow. Guys loose so fast! I am down 25. Week 4! What kind of shakes do u drink? I drink the ones from Walmart/Sams/Costco. Premier Protein. Like 5 flavors.

[Bigman12345 58]

I have been trying the Premier Protein also, just gives a bad taste for hours later, I discovered if i add ice and let it dilute it’s not as bad, I bought grape Isopure today too, I’ll try that tomorrow

Thanks for sharing your journey big overgrown dork (love that name!!)

I also really struggle with the Protein Shakes - so sweet!! The bariatricpal stor has a range of Protein souls I really love - I craved savoury within two or three days of surgery - I remember the Jello on day 3 was SOOO sweet!

Lovely to share this time with you. Thanks!

[Bigman12345 58]

It’s amazing how the surgery changes your taste buds, the sweetness is crazy, I tried a small scoop of scrAmbled eggs and they were sweet, aren’t eggs the opposite of sweet? Lol
I am trying the grape Isopure this morning, wish me luck!

[Kim58 8]

Good luck!

[Bigman12345 58]

Isopure-Nope not good, lol

I feel like a wimp, so I bucked up and suffered through a Premier Protein, lol

It’s kind of weird today though, I am feeling a little hungry, kind of the first time I have, but the Protein helped a lil and broth is soothing, going to work is fine, I had a lot of energy, I notice I have a ton of at this point, so I think everything is going well still...

My “holes” are just starting to be a Lil itchy, I hope that’s heeling itch

I notice a difference in my face already, I measured my neck, chest, and stomach on my surgery day(1/22/18) when I reach my 2 week i will post my inch losses.

[Bigman12345 58]

My finger nails were kind of blue today, it’s only 20 out, I was a little concerned but after I warmed my hands the color came back, but...
I am cold all the time now, and I’m the guy who wears shorts year around, in ny...lol

Today I tried cottage cheese... taste amazing, filled me quick, but was very satisfying

[Bigman12345 58]

Losing almost 3 pounds a day seems like, my only thought is if I’m not eating anything, what the heck am I pooping out? Lol
