I was sleeved 9/17 and as of this morning am down 32 lbs. I walk around my neighborhood and also exercise with my Wii fit plus almost everyday. My husband and kids participate with me in both activities. We compete with each other on the Wii fit games. I think their involvement and support has been the #1 reason I have been successful with this new aspect in my life. As for the food, I have been on soft foods (mashed potatoes, Soups, pudding) since three days after surgery, my post-op diet allowed me to add chicken salad, tuna salad, viennas and any other processed meat to my diet on day 15. This also has been a big help to me because I HATE the Protein Shakes and I'm now getting a good bit of Protein from the food I get to eat.
Sorry bout that, don't be too jealous, three bites of grits and I'm done. I share a bowl of grits with my 18 month old most mornings, I get 3 bites and she eats the rest. It's kinda said that she can eat more than me now.
