I have to admit, this is pretty cool

Today is my first day back at work since my surgery 10/16. I thought I had thought about everything and returning to work, meals, protein, water, etc. One major thing I didn't think about was me getting dressed for work this morning and putting on slacks that I wore pre-surgery...they looked ridiculous and were entirely too big. It was awesome and stressful at the same time. Luckily, as I rummaged through the closet I found a smaller size that I kept for some strange reason, and while still a bit baggy, they were much better. Guess I'll need to get a couple pairs of slacks tonight to get me through the next month or so, then swap those out. What an awesome feeling to get rid of clothes for being to big for a change.

Had my surgery on Friday 10/27 afternoon. I was doing so well in recovery that they released me after only one night in the hospital I've been super fortunate so far, only needing one pain pill in the hospital, and right now just taking liquid ibuprofen. I've been burping since the hospital, but today was my first day at home with protein shakes and finally started passing gas - yay! lol Most of my discomfort is from soreness from the surgery and gas pressure. No issues getting my protein shakes in and keeping them down. All of my docs were super happy with my recovery, and my surgeon said the procedure went perfectly. Here's to the start of my new life!

My stall is over Im excited and I think I will start out on the treadmill tonight and go get some things to do strength training tonight Im excited to be loosing again even if its just 2 lbs I have almost made it to 50lbs im excited to have this time to do great things for me today will be a good day

Down 9.6lbs a week out from surgery! That's INSANE. I'll take the crazy losses while I can get them lol

Hello everyone it's been so long since I've been on this site I'm still eating healthy enjoy life loving me I'm down to 135 lbs now and for everyone that's just starting stay motivated you can do it!!

So I'm almost done with the blended/pureed part of my diet progression back to solids. Thankfully, I really haven't needed to blend much of anything. As long as I stick to the foods I'm allowed to have during this 2wk phase, and chew to it's basically pureed before I swallow, I've had no issues. MUCH more palatable than actually blending everything up lol. Looking forward to the soft foods starting this weekend! I'll still be chewing to a pulp before swallowing (basically forever on that), but at least I can start to introduce more foods into my diet again. REALLY looking forward to some fish, been soooo long!

I just had conversion to gastric bypass on November 1 due to hiatal hernia and acid reflux issues. Surgery was a success. The sipping water after surgery is much easier this time for some reason. I am craving savory foods like crazy...hummus, salsa and marinara sauce so I cannot wait to incorporate some of those things in my diet.

Today is my two month "surgiverssary"! I had SIPS on Agusut 30th and so far I have left 48 lbs behind. Here's to 50 more!

Good day beautiful people! I finally have a date for Gastric Sleeve Surgery! It's December 28th I am so excited, nervous and terrified! lol
