@Deb Som 54 you might find some more surgery buddies here. Also TeresaGrahamARGranny you're some months shy but nice people who are Also rocking getting ready for surgery.

Well I had my 2 week follow up today and can officially start some pureed stuff. First up was a tablespoon of pureed chicken breast mixed with a little broth and greek yogurt. So far so good. PA was amazed at my Fluid intake (about 110 oz plus 3 Premiere Protein Shakes yesterday) and said my weight loss so far was about average. I am really feeling fine....almost like it never happened.

Will be ramping up my exercise over the next couple of weeks.....so far just a lot of walking and some 3-5 pound dumbells for upper body work.

Chicken was a little bland but IT WAS NOT A Protein SHAKE!!!

Okay this is rude but How much have you lost so far?? Pre-op + 2 weeks post-op? Just trying to gauge what I might expect since I’m close to surgery date!!

Not rude at all. From my preop appointment on 4/26 until today I have lost 17 pounds. From the start of my 2 week preop diet until today (4 weeks) I have lost 24 pounds. In addition to the PA I also saw the nutritionist...she said I should expect to start losing a bit more quickly after starting foods but I honestly feel so much better than I did 4 weeks ago that I am more than happy with where I am at.
