I like cream of chicken mixed with chicken broth.< /p>

I'm a 26th bandster too! Congrats on being on the other side. Still dealing with gas pains but it comes and goes. Just being up and moving seems to help the most. Good luck!

Hello everyone!
Until I hit puberty, I was as skinny as a rail. Once I did hit it though, I gained weight and kept it on. I guess i was never really "fat" even though I was called fat by classmates and the like, but I've always been bigger than I wanted to be. My mother passed away after a brief battle with cancer last year, and that sent me into a really bad funk where I gained a lot of weight. My wife and I also welcomed our first child near the end of 2012. It was certainly time for a change.
I started this journey at 6'1, 349 pounds. I lost 10 pounds leading up to the surgery, and have lost another 20 since my surgery, which was at the end of June this year. I am currently at 319 pounds and heading in the right direction. I look forward to interacting with you all and sharing the experience together!

I want to thank everyone in this site--it's so nice to have people be so open and honest about this journey! I'm on post op day #3....today has been the WORST for has pains! My left clavicle area the most painful of all. A friend told me to try activated charcoal pills....I think they helped! I has tried gasx, baby gas drops and Tums-nothing helped! I've also been walking around the block 1-2 times about 2-3 times per day. Still just eating broth, thinned down cream of chicken Soup and Jello. Tried thinned cream of wheat this am....2 bites and I was FULL and MORE BLOATED!!! Concentrating on Water intake-which is going good! Heading back to work tomorrow--- hoping for a quick day! Thanks for all the advice and support on here! Have a great week everyone!

I'm scheduled 4 sept 26th....nervous yet excited!!
