Is Chia seed oil extract what you guys are talkibg about?

I had surgery on a monday & started a new job the next monday.

Im going on 5wks & my tummy hurts when food doesnt agree with it or eating too fast. Hv you stuck w soft foods for awhile? Or do those bother you too?

I am 5 weeks this wk & tried it on saturday. I actually had it & strawberries w no problems at all. Maybe try a small bite? I knw every dr is diff in wht they want theur pts to do.

I had my surgery on July 16th & started a new job (desk job) the following Monday with no problems at all. It really helps to keep busy. I had a very speedy recovery. The main problems i had were drinking fluids but its getting better.

Where do you get flatbread?

Its so strange how lots lose 30 or more lbs then others lose 15-20 lbs the 1 month. Happy for those losing so quickly. Not sure why there is such a diff

Reading dwn thru the post lots of us are in the same boat so it has to be normal lol. We will lose to our GOAL! I knw if u lose too fast you will be more saggy, right? So this could be a blessing

Yes! 18 lbs is better than nothing. Was hoping to lose more but glad im losing.

My surgery was July 16 th. To me i hv lost slowly! I hvnt cheated either but do hv a hard time w liquids. I hv lost 18.9 lbs & 21.5 inches. At least im losing!

Reading this thread & im 4wks out & still hv a very hard time w liquids. I knw tht i dont get near enough liquids. I make a smoothie type drink frm my protein in the morning (18 oz) & a few days ago ws able to drink low calorie gatorade. Only wy i can drink water is if its ice ice ice cold, which is why I can drink the smoothie protein drink & tht I sip on thru the day at wrk. Really i dnt knw wht to do abt fluids. Wht im doing seems to wrk for me, at least im getting some fluids in.

Thank you. Im not familiar with how pintrest works at all. Thx i will chk it out.

Yes i can see the pictures, just cant view the recipe.

Hey Lucky, i looked at your pintrest but theres no recipes attached.

Im 4wks too (16 th will be) & in need of some diff foods!

Im for sure going to use these Recipes!

Next 2wks liquids including: yugurt & on 3rd week adding soft foods like mash potatoe & as my stomach can tolerate.

Mine was Saturday before my monday surgery, Clear liquids After surgery on monday July 16, i did not hv anything to eat or drink, not even ice chips until Wed. Abt 5

Thats awesome! Congrats!

I will be 4wks Monday & as of few nights ago lost 13.7. I ws thking same thing & pretty bummed abt it. However i hv lost 13.5 inches. So im glad i measured myself.

I meaured before surgery & 3wks later. Glad i did, scale wasnt moving much but i lost 13.5 inches. I meaured ea thigh (in the middle), ea arm, all the way around under my arms, over breast, & waist. Some say to weigh weekly, some every two weeks....so your preference. If you there is an app calld: myfitness pal tht is awesome for keeping track of your weight, calories, protein, carbs & so forth. Really has helped me a lot.

Thats awesome! Thx so much for sharing. What a mighty difference. You look great. Thats so encouraging!

I use myfitness pal & it helps a bunch!

It is frustrating! But im not giving up! We can do this!

I will be 4 week on Monday & hv only lost 13.7 lbs. I knw how you feel. I dont understand either. I only intake between 400-600 calories & tht includes my protein drink. I dont consume much liquids. Thts the one thing thts tough on me. I can do the orotein drink if i make it into a smoothie & can drink water if its ice cold. Im sorry your frustrated.
