I just had one visit during which the therapist asked me questions about my weight-- how long obese, why I thought I couldn't lose weight on my own, why I wanted surgery. It was a good conversation.

HW 288 DOS 2/28/13 277 CW 252 36 lbs gone forever!

First time out to eat since surgery 2/28. Trying grilled salmon and mashed cauliflower at ruby Tuesdays. Asked for the take out box with my meal.

I had the same thing last week and I also 5 weeks out. My doc put me on maloox liquid twice a day. It works really well and I am doing great. I also take a protonix. It's not reflux but the pouch is inflamed and the maloox calms it down.

Wow!!! Everyone looks wonderful!!!

Kale, artichoke, ricotta egg bake. Very good. I could only eat a little but it was great to have some veggies!

I am 56 and had the surgery 2/28/13 and also cannot tolerate shakes. My nut had me drink warm tea and stay on puréed food. I also take maloox twice a day and one protonix a day. I am able to eat soft foods now and got in 50 grams of Protein. Feeling really well!!!

Half an Emily bites chicken parm muffin. Very yummy and easy to eat. Glad to be off puréed food and on soft foods.

Try Old Navy. The xxl is a 2x and they have a lot of colors/styles of compression shorts.

I did have one jelly bean and one little chocolate egg and didn't feel the need to try anything else. That's a huge change for me. And frankly, the tiny little egg wasn't all that great.

Scrambled egg with cheese. Actually about 2/3 of the egg. It's so hard to not eat too much.

I am back on puréed food since my pouch is inflamed so I decided to do a little juice. 21/2carrots, one apple, 2 celery, handful each of kale and dandelion greens. Soooo good and 43 calories for 4 ounces. It makes 12 ounces so I will have more later. Lots of vitamins.

I was told I could swallow a pill roughly the size of an m and m. Maybe your doc will clear you to swallow the pill or give you the smaller version.

I only did it for a week because I was switched to protonix which is a small tablet.

Baked tilapia a tablespoon of sweet potato and if i have room, a few asparagus tips.

1/2 cup of homemade chili.

Loving! No one lives gas!! Moving that gas along.

Milk of magnesia works really well in loving that gas along. For me it was much better than gasx.

Milk of magnesia. Liquid of course. Take the largest dose then take a second dose in a few hours. It is the only thing that worked for me and my doc swears by it.

I used canned pink salmon (6 oz) , boneless, an egg and a tablespoon of bread crumbs, diced onion and salt, pepper. Then shaped into four small patties which I cooked in a frying pan on medium with Pam. Made sauce to keep moist-- some light sour cream mixed with dill and line juice. I could eat one with a little sauce. 67 cals and 11 grams protein.

Salmon burger and some carrots.
