Hey everyone! I see there are some great victories being posted, I am officially 50lbs down from my highest weight!! so I wanted to share with everyone too! Congrats to everyone on their personal victories as well. How is everyone doing? I am still in soft foods, but loving this stage, I am getting in a lot more Protein, but need to figure out how to get space for the carbs? I did start coffee again, many of you already know my TMI issues and to be honest halfway through the cup of coffee I was in the bathroom and it was glorious, so small cup is what I am drinking and add in an extra glass of Water to compensate for dehydration effects... Miralax stopped working, I see my Dr next week and hopefully we can brainstorm a bit together. I am also hoping to get cleared to do a bit more activity... next week. I could stay in the stage forever lol. hope you are all doing well!

I’m loving flounder right now and cannot seem to get enough of it.. I could eat it for all 6 meals!

my days are pretty much the following:

wake up scramble egg with a little bit of cheese mixed in.

drive to work drink 24 to 32 ounces of Water

Protein Shake, and 20 ounces of tea.

Lunch- deli sliced turkey low sodium, or shrimp, or turkey meatball, or Bolognese sauce.

way home from work- drink 24 to 32 ounces of water

dinner- salmon (my number one choice) plus able to eat over a few meals instead of egg will have this, and then same for lunch, works out great. flounder easy peasy but my toddle and husband will share this with me, Bolognese sauce is easy to make. there is a place by me called captain chucky's and they make the best unbreaded crab cakes ever and they also do them in three ounce portions amazing. Ground turkey and gravy has gone over pretty well too. Like I said I focus on the Protein first but have also tried to up some carbs have done well with cooked carrot, broc, mushroom, and Beans. but I can hardly fit them in. I usually split dinner into two segments to maximize protein.

Snack: slice of turkey or a shrimp (again protein lol)

Bedtime usually another 16 to 24 ounces of water.

my calorie intake seems to be ranging 500- 650 a day red meat even lean seems to bring it up and my carbs are ranging from 9 to 19 a day.

chicken is still hit or miss I find trying things a few times before giving up, and still trying to add in a new item, for instance each veg a day I try to make a new one. I find that when I have the higher calorie days I am having the higher carb day and I see the scale move a bit more.

oh I also did the ricotta bake with ground beef in it so so so good.

Sorry that's happened to you, I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one. I've been stalled for 10 days now (started 3 days post op) - it blows my mind. Having it happen right after surgery is the worst, that's right when we could really use the motivation of seeing the scale drop
Hang in there it will come! Believe me it will start to melt like you are a snowwoman!!! Lol

One month post op. Trying different foods and have tolerated more than expected. Haven't tried Pasta or pizza and careful with spicy food. Baking pork chops tomorrow with aparegus. No barbeque yet. Seems to be doing better on foods with more substance.

Yay, I get to start mushy foods today! Breakfast was some scrambled egg with cheese :). lunch will be 2 tablespoons of regrows Beans with a little cheese. I’m supposed to have a Protein Shake between but I’m wondering if I’ll be able to drink a whole one. So glad to be done with the liquid post-op diet!

Muscle pain 5 weeks out? anyone so past few days I have been doing a bit more, House work, etc, nothing really heavy lifting, but been a little more active outside of my walking daily. mid day I have been having some soreness? No pain when eating or drinking, it is more when moving right along the line of where all my incisions are mid line? Is it healing pain? It has also been really cold and I find myself trying to keep warm a little more? When I go to be and wake up no problems? I am seeing the dr. Monday but wanted to see what you all have to say? TIA

I have a weird pain in a similar location.. but it’s when I lay on it, and it just started this week- I’m 4 weeks out. It’s not terrible but it is annoying. Keep us updated from your appointment on Monday!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
