It took me 2 1/2 monts until I could handle salad-- it hurt my belly earlier than that-- I was on a lot of yogurt, soups, tuna, eggs at 18 days out.. They told me 700- 800 calories ... which some days I am over some under.. I have re-introduced shakes because I don't feel I am getting enough protein.. LOVE bean or pea soup though!

Looks good but even a large seems like it may be small.. I may look into custom garments

Yoyu are moving ahead and they loved you then since they are noticing your loss-- if they said nothing then they did not care back when you were heavier! Congrats on the new you

Exactly at least the cheat was not and not 5 days after surgery as the repercussions are so much worse-- Move on and behave... You can do it

Another high protein food! And when you are snacking on something good for you , it feels better!

You are going to do great!!!! Just take little sips-- I am 2 months out and still no hunger-- set your alarm to eat if necessary!
