You go girl!! Great job.

I'm 44 and have been yo yo'ing my entire life, so far my face is ok other than the usual crows feet at this age, neck is good so no complaints there. Everything else kinda sags all over lol. But eh, I'm married 13 1/2 years, he loved me at 280 he'll love me with skin so it doesn't bother me .... much.

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and have lost 14 lbs from surgery date. Total of 27 from the date that I started the pre-op diet. Welcome and good luck!

YES!!!

I am 2 1/2 weeks out and on mushies now until my next dr's visit on the 26th. Today: Atkins Protein shake low sugar oatmeal made w/skim milk SF choc pudding w/FF whipped cream Atkins Protein Shake FF Peach Greek yogurt I'll be having mashed potatoes w/FF chicken gravey for dinner.

That is where I want to be . I have hereditary high triglycerides so I will have to take meds for that for the rest of my life but I knew that going into it. I am having blood work done at the end of the month so we'll see what the numbers say.

Ok, so as some of you know my main goal was to get rid of as many medications as possible. I have gone from 20 to 10 to 6 pills a day and I couldn't be happier about that. Well I thnk I have to call my doctor about my last diabetic pill, glipizide that I take once a day now, because seems my sugars keep going low. Today I woke and had a shake, then a 1/2 hour later had an oatmeal made with skim milk, a little later on I had a SF chocolate pudding with FF whipped cream. I was full and wanted to take a nap, so about 1:00 took a nap for a couple of hours and when I woke up I had a SF ice. MMmmm love those things. I felt a little jittery and took my sugar reading and it was 55! So I drank another shake and took another reading a little bit after that and it was 78. I am going to call my doc tomorrow about going off the last pill for diabeties and see what he says. 5 pills a day here we come!

I had a "pig out" for about two weeks before my pre op diet started. lol I don't feel guilty at all either. Now 2 1/2 weeks post op I have towed the line to the letter. It is weird that if you are determined once you start you are good to go!

It happens and it will pass.

Everything happens for a reason and if he walks out on you for something as silly as joining a message board at a time when you need his support the most what can you expect him to do when other things happen in your life that require the support of your significat other? I dare say not much support will be given. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise? Maybe its time for you to take the negativity out of your life as you embark on this positive journey to a better you? Your decision, but keep in mind that it is only your decision and since you are on a streak of making the right decisions think long and hard about what kind of people you want to take on this trip with you. Good luck!

I wish I could just have one cup of coffee! My doc says nothing but decaf until after week 4. Why bother with decaf, besides that it tastes weird to me lol.

Because of the internal bleeding I had they stopped the hep shots on surgery day, but I did notice that the one shot I had did give me a bruise. Hope it gets better Meggie!

At my two week post op on Thursday, my doc said no, it is a soft food and to wait til week 5. His regimine was pre-op 2 weeks full liquids, post op 2 days clears, almost 2 weeks fulls until I saw him, now on mushies until I see him again on May 26th. I expect then that I will progress to softs.

Thanks guys. Meggie I know, I know! LOL First day and was just testing how the consistancy and quantity would "flow" I agree about the oatmeal, but I also thought to myself "self, nothing else has carbs in it" so I splurged. My total carbs that day was less than 40.

Fantastic! Glad everything is moving along. Ugh, I remember when my c-section inscision got infected and had to do the same thing! I couldn't wait for a shower LOL

Good luck and all the best. This board will give you so much information and support that you may be over whelmed.

Mine stopped about day 7 or 8 ish, and now I am fine on day 17 Feel better.

MMMmmmm can't wait for a grilled chicken cearsars salad LOL!

This is a home away from home sometimes! I don't know what I would have done without htis site.

I lost 25lbs in 4 weeks since the pre op diet. I am 2 weeks out now and of that 12 was as of the surgery. Not sure if that helps, but I love it considering that I started out needing to lose 66 from the first day of the pre op diet.

I always thought NSV was "New Sleeve Victory" LOL

Hehehe I thought it was humorous! Glad its going well for you Pasquini, Let us know when you get home safe and sound!

Glad to hear you are doing well! The gas will pass, and you will fee better. The ice chips were a god send! lol
