Woo Hoo!! Go you Sounds like you're doing great. I also learned a lesson early on about eating too much / too fast.

Great job! Keep going and don't let up. You'll get there

Welcome to the other side. Getting through the first week is a little tough but after that it's downhill! Walk, walk, walk and give yourself time to heal.

Congratulations! You are doing very well.

Thank you so much for the inspiration. I'm just about a couple of months in and I'm still amazed at how little I can eat. I have finally learned the "you better stop now" point I read the forums a lot and I'm always on the hunt for positive information and progress updates from the veterans who take the time to come back and encourage everyone. Congratulations on your success!

Not protein shakes, Meal Replacement Shakes! The difference? One keeps you full and the other offers liquid protein. You should save the protein drinks for after surgery. Buy the Equate Meal replacement shakes at walmart. 6pk is 4$ which is enough for 2 days or the 12pk is $8.88. i lost 15lbs in 10 days with them.

Thanks for that great advice! I have invested lots of $$$$ in protein shakes but didn't even think about the meal replacement. I love this website I start my liquid diet on 12/12 in 4 short days which moves me 4 days closer to surgery on 12/26/12

Way to go! You look amazing.
