Don't feel bad. My guilty pleasure is half unsweetened tea half lemonade! I've lost 22 lbs since surgery 2 weeks ago.

You're gonna be great! I'm 22 lbs down from my Aug 20 surgery date! My first follow up visit was today!

Are you ready?

I went to the Doctor today and purposely chose not to weigh until that visit. Well, I've lost 22 lbs since surgery on August 20! I've never lost that much weight in such a short time! I'm excited about the future! So... Excited!

I went to the doctor today and they gave me a sample of the nasal B-12. I'll see if I like it and let you know.

When I go to the doctor, I might ask about the injections.

Okay, this may not be a big NSV, but it was to me. I have never worn less than a size 22 or 24 in LB jeans, even when I lost weight on my own. But, today I stopped in LB to buy some Spanx and said let me try on some jeans. My surgery was 2 weeks ago today and I could wear a size 20 jeans! Woohoo! I don't know how much I've lost because I decided not to weigh until I go to the doctor on Wed., but I'm pretty happy with that little victory! Yay me...

Maybe try getting some sleep. I found that when I got some serious sleep after the surgery, I felt better physically and mentally. I took Ambien and slept like a rock. I felt like a new person the next day. I also had a massage and sat in the steam room a long time. I highly recommend it. The massage helped me turn the corner.

Half unsweetened tea. Half lemonade. From MacAlister's.

Is it because grapes cause gas?

I agree with you. It just doesn't taste the same.

Woohoo! Good news!

You look great!

Amazing! You look great!

I'm trying not to weigh until I go to my follow up appt next week, but I went to get my hair done this morning and my hairdresser screamed that I have lost weight! Woohoo!

Great job!

From first visit to surgery was 7 months. I had to do the six month supervised diet. Well worth the wait...

I've done poorly with Protein this week. My NUT said to focus on Fluid this week, so that's what I've been doing. I'll go back to my Protein shakes when soft starts! Much success to you, my brotha!

Hey, I just saw this! I am 5 days post op. She said because it stimulates appetite and would probably cause me to fall off the 3 day liquid diet. But, I couldn't stop drinking coffee and my NUT relented after she saw how grouchy I had become. So, my last full cup was Aug 19, the day before surgery. Now, because I'm a risk taker, I had a couple of sips today. Now, I'm feeling like I have more gas than yesterday. My doctor's instructions say that you can have coffee several days after surgery, if tolerated. Quite frankly, although I love coffee, it made the old stomach hurt. I'll pass on it for a while.
