I agree with butterthebean....I actually laughed at some of the post...laughter is good for the soul....everyone here really want to see people succeed. I fell off because for some reason I stop wanting meat & only wanted soft stuff, such as macaroni salad, mashed potatoes...I got back up & dust myself off....I started back to protein shakes to get back on track. I was doing the happy dance today after I got on the scale & down three more lbs after a three week stall...yayyy meI didnt need any pain meds after the first day & a half. I had the most pain right after surgery. Like others have said I rate my first day about a six.Krystal, you are right everyone is different but my Doc told me to start puree food on day three. I didn't because it iritated my tummy. I did better after my stomach started to go down. I blended my food for about two weeks after I started my puree stage. Good luckIf you are on the net you should be able to click on your username & then click "my settings"Thats is wonderful...I am so happy for you.... I was sleeved July 24 & including my 14 day pre-op I am down 33 lbs mostly from pre-op....I hope that I am not the one of those people that go months without losingI will be five weeks out tomorrow. I have purchase some size 14s...my 18s made me look sloppy. I can wear 16s but only because my backside is big however a lot of people has told me that it has gone down. I can still kind of get away with my size 16 dresses but for those who know me know they also fit loose...best of luck to youIm not doing so well I will be five weeks tomorrow & I havent loss any since week two. I gotta make some serious changes. Surely this is not all the weight I am going to lose...soooo upset....ughSorry to say but my NUT said no spicy foods for that very reason....some of the veterans can probably answer that...Off four weeks but its only because there was no light duty work for me.Sorry that happen to you. I have not had this problem because I take chewables or use a pill crusher. Maybe others can provide a solution.
