I really hope this happens for me! I live in the Phoenix area and it's already hit 108 this week.

Mmorral, let us know how Disneyland goes!

I haven't checked in with you guys lately! But I just added a bunch of you as friends on mfp. My surgery was April 27 and I've lost 37 pounds with my preop diet. I'm really feeling a difference and can definitely tell a big difference in my face. What did you guys eat at 4 weeks? Tomorrow I get to start eating more "normal" food (just soft) and I'm nervous!

I'm so excited because tomorrow I get to eat more varieties of food instead of just purée! Anyone have a favorite food that's soft?

I'm so glad to hear you're getting better. It will be a great day when you back at this and know it was all worth it. Take care!

I was sitting at my parents house tonight with my 3 year old and realized I was crossing my legs! I haven't (comfortably) been able to cross my legs for a while. Made me happy.

Great job! I have a goal for my birthday too.

Today I bought the generic crystal light from Target and they make a flavor called cranberry/pomegranate. It is so good! I was getting burned out on lemonade type flavors so this made me happy. My kids like it too.

They are ready to drink shakes. I finally bought the chocolate ones and I have to say, they're decent for sure!

Oh man! That's awful! Are you taking pain meds or zofran? Those can both cause constipation.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. I can only imagine your pain. But I have to say you look amazing! Beautiful!

I'm so bummed because I've had eggs twice since I started puréed foods and both times I've been in pain after eating it! Makes me sad because it tasted so good.

I'm married to Nate so I'm mrsnate. This is a fun thread!!

Wow! What a difference! Congratulations!

You look awesome!! Congrats!

My doctor says no bread or wheat products until I've lost at least 75% of my excess weight. And even then it should be whole wheat.

You look awesome! Great job.

I was told before surgery that I was vitamin D deficient, like many of us are. I haven't been taking my supplement since surgery because I was thinking I'm getting it from my multi. Now I'm questioning this...I'm not getting enough, am I? Can I take the vitamin D liquid caplets, or do I need a different form?

You look fantastic! Congratulations!

I've told my family, my close friends and 1 of my cousins. Not a big secret, but I'm not announcing it either. If someone asks, I'll tell them the truth.

I've not tried the unflavored, but I really love the Chocolate Splendor. The only unflavored protein I've tried is Beneprotein and I put it in soup...and through it out, yuck!

I bought mine at CVS.

My dark urine was dehydration and it led me to a UTI. Be careful!

I have found that scar pads work the best. I had a scar on my face that I used them on and it helped a lot. They are silicone covered pads (look like band aids). My cousin used them after a breast implant after her surgeon recommended them.
