GeauxForIt

Days 5-10 were HARD! I swear I thought I was going to starve to death. lol Then it started getting easier. I called my doc and asked about puréed foods a couple of days early and it was okayed. Call and ask!

No cheating for me!! JUST SAY NO!!!!

I had the injections while in the hospital. None before, none after!

I just tried avocado and my stomach is going crazy! Has anyone else tried it? How'd it go?

I just tried some avocado and my stomach is going crazy! I hope it wasn't a mistake...

I was also on full liquids at 1week out and I could have broths and strained soups (except potato or corn). So I had a lot if Cream of Chicken put in the Ninja with chicken broth to thin it out. Filled me up quick!!

Do you like beans? For some reason, pinto beans have tasted SO good to me! lol They've been tasty and I've tolerated them well. Tried chicken salad but it felt "stuck" and uncomfortable. Maybe next week.

Thanks! It sounds like so little, but I'm trying to think of every pound lost as a little victory. That's hard to do when I still have almost 100 to go!!! :/

This helps me bc I can easily get into the "I've had a bad day/week/month and I DESERVE this _____________ (<---insert unhealthy food here)" mindset.

I think you're awesome! Thanks for posting this loving kick in the ass!!

I had issues with anything cold and did WAY better with warm (not hot) liquids like broth and strained Soups. I put them in a coffee mug to keep them warm. I also starting using 1/2 Water and 1/2 milk for my shakes instead if all milk. It made them thinner and easier to drink. You'll feel better soon!!

No pre-op diet for me either. I didn't even have the night-before colon cleanse!! Just nothing to eat or drink after 11pm the night before surgery! I consider myself really lucky. I'm 16 days and sling great. Good luck to you!!

Nope!! It's a slippery slope for me, especially with sweets. I can't allow myself to cheat, especially at this point, bc who knows where I'll end up! I have NO willpower with sweets and will have to stay away from most altogether to stay on track. Don't cheat!! You're strong...and you can do this! You're only cheating yourself. Just think long term and put in your mind, the reasons you went through this drastic surgery. I bought a cute, size 14 dress that I look at, along with a picture of my children when feeling tempted. Try to distract yourself...you got this, girls!!!

5 lbs the 1st week and 5lbs the 2nd week. So far, so good!

My legs have been aching SO badly for the last 2 days. I'm really hoping I'm not dehydrated as the last 2 days I've struggled with fluids and Protein (I went back to work). I also have a bad headache. I'm drinking as much as I can tonight.

Yea, I tried eggs last night. NOT PRETTY.

I usually just refer to my husband as "My Baby Daddy"! lol I didn't take his last name and we joke that people think we're just shacked up with 3 kids!!

I had some lentil soup with garlic salt just now and it was so good!!

Hubby doesn't bother me, but I hate it when people say "mani-pedi". It sounds like baby talk to me for some reason!!

No suggestions, but misery loves company and I'm having a hard time choking them down, too!!

10lbs in 2 weeks...I'll take it! I wish it was more, but honestly, when can I say I've ever lost 10lbs in 2 weeks?! lol

Days 5-10 totally SUCKED for me! Felt better but not better enough. Cranky, head hungry, sore, but not really in pain and not losing weight! Then...it got better. Just ride it out!
