I live in Houston and did not know Galveston had this new attraction. I must go and check it out. Congratulations on your success and losing has never felt so good!

I like the idea that you revisited and and updated...so glad to know you are doing better!

I totally understand...I am constantly burping. I think this is my body signal for being full. I tried the deli meat and peanut butter but I was having small annoying pains, so I went back to yogurt and malt-o-meal and tuna with no crackers...LOL! I know it will get better soon!

You will love the Puree stage it is so much better than the liquid phase. I have a pot roast in the crockpot now that I plan on whizzing up. I got that idea from someone. I am past due for something that tast like real food! I never realized how much I enjoyed eating till now and I never considered myself a real big eater.

How funny...I am the same way and when I went in to see him I had lost 3 pounds from the day of surgery. My clothes really haven't changed much but everyone at work can tell I have lost weight because it shows in my face. I can't wait for the rest of my body to get the memo...LOL! Well keep up the good work and I am going to try my best to stay off the scale as well!

Those sound like some pretty good rewards...I need to set some for myself....now you really got me thinking! Well have fun and keep up the good work!

Wow Congratulations! Im sure once you start an excercise routine you will tone up in no time!

I just noticed your surgery was July 3rd and mine was done on July 2nd. Did you go to First Street Hospital? I tried malt-o-meal today last night and again today and it was fine. It has taken me 3 sittings to finish one serving...LOL! BTW I had only lost 3 pounds and someone made a post to tell me that was fine because most folk gain weight. The swelling causes you to gain after surgery and your body has to adjust first. I know my clothes and face shows I lost weight but not the scale. I am trying to patiently wait on that! LOL!

buy some chicken broth or soups and drain them for the liquid. I bought a can colander. I also bought a blender in a bottle which I use daily to mix my protein shake with milk. Those are the two most important investments to date and I am nine days out.

I am on day 6 as well. I am not really tired...but I try not to sit around too much. I sip sip sip...sip sip sip...and I did manage to eat some soup on yesterday and I drink a protein shake in the mornings with 1% milk. It seems I am able to drink at least 100z in 30 min to an hour. It seems like a lot to me.
