enjoythetime

Thx ladies!!! I just left the office and decided to wait til my next appoint. In two weeks to get my first fill. I am sooo excitrd I've lost 20lb. Since my surgery and 36lbs total including the pre- op diet. Im so excited!! Thx for the advice!!

I have my first adjustment scheduled for tomorrow. Im excited and nervous and my biggest question is how do you know if you're ready for one?

What a fantastic story and accomplishment!!! You're rockin' it girl!!!!

For me its day 15-22 post op and then i move to full diet

Thx so much Cheznoel!!

Meant to say obviously "arent" soft

Thx! Yeah they did but its kind of contradictory. They give examples such as eggs, bananas, chicken/ tuna salad, baked potato, fish, and well cooked veggies and then toast and crackers which is whats confusing me those obviously soft so just not sure how this fits in?

Tomorrow is day 1 of soft solids. I was wondering if someone might give me some examples of what they ate during this stage. TIA!

nectar chocolate Truffle 25 g protein and 100 cal per 8 oz serving

Yes these are totally normal emotions. I was banded on may 30 and remember making a similar post regarding being anxiously nervous. You will do great! It sounds like you have a positive outlook and support and thats key. **** luck!

Yes in addition I typically have 2 protein shakes and for 8 oz they have 100 cal and 25 g protein. But even with those the food im eating at 1/2 c portions dont exceed 100 cal each.

Cant wait to try this when i get to reg. Foid. Thx for sharing!

Thats awesome and so encouraging!! Thx for the inspiration and CONGRATS!!!!!!

I was wondering if there's a target caloric intake while on the puree stage of the diet? Im only getting about 300 per day, this is day 4. Im only eating food 3x a day like a yogurt for breakfast, refried beans for lunch and mashed potatos for dinner. No more than 1/2 c for each meal. Does this sound right?

Whoa!!! Amazing job, you look great!!!!

Thanks CG and Creekwood for the encouragement and support. It's reassuring to know others have gone through the same. You are both inspirations. Thx again!!
