Hi I had my surgery on February 26, 2013. I am 5 ft 5.5 inches, I started at 220 lbs before preop diet and as of today I am 166 lbs. I went from a loose size 18 to an 8! My goal is 150...best think I ever did!

Amazing! How long did it take?

Thank you! But unfortunately spoke too soon have stalled this week. Started regular food...

So, today is my 4 week anniversary. I am down 8 lbs preop and 12 lbs post op, which is 20 lbs total and leaves me at 200 lbs. I am happy considering my goal weight is 150...so I did have lower bmi. On the other hand , since surgery, I have had strep, cold and now sinus infection!!! Ugggh...those darn kids and their germs

Yes..I lost 7 lbs the first week post op and then nothing week 2. , finallyy week three, now, the scaled has moved a few lbs. I will be 4 weeks on tues, so the week is not over yet. I realized I was not even enough calories so my body was in starvation mode. I was eating 500-800 calories and uped it to 1,000 calories and the scale moved. I am in full liquid phase, so shakes, yogurt, cream of wheat, pudding soup and crackers. Oh an I was constipated and took milk oh magnesium and that helped too. Hope it helps...hang it there:)

CongrAts firelle!!!

Congrats!!!! Just curious are the 14 lbs lost include preop diet weight loss? Or was this your weight surgery day?

So I went for my 3 week post op appointment and my surgeon told me I have to stay on full liquid phase for two more weeks!!! Pretty disappointed. Also, only lost 8.2 pound in the 3 weeks post op...I know my bmi is only 35 but still!!! Very frustrated. I am 5' 6" started at 220 and went down to 212 during preop diet and now I,m at 203.8 3 weeks post op. goal is 150 lbs ...anyone had similar experience and succeeded. Would love to hear

Thanks so much for your support Houston support:)

Thanks Houston 17....doc just said it was their standard procedure to stay clear liquids for 1week, and then 5 weeks full liquids and then soft foods after that. I just wish I was losing weight

Prayers your way...feeling any better?

Good to know...won't be doing that again for a while....I am feeling fine...I assume I would be in pain or some thing would be off if it caused some damage... I am always worried about that but hopefully there would be some indication if there was something wrong

Thanks!!

Sounds good! Any way I can have the recipe....is it considered mushy soft food

Kayla, I hate it too...feels like the foodies stuck and you want to wash it down...so I only wait 10 minutes

Actually it was only 1 link and it was turkey and I had like 3/4 of it....no bun.....but the small crescent roll was worth it! Lol. I know I can eat solids but doc. Has meon liquids so I feel guilty for doing it and since my bmi was only 35 I am barely losing. Lost 7 lbs first week and nothing since..arrrggghhhh!

JeAlous! I am still on full liquids.... But have cheated and eaten 1 hot dog link, crescent roll and yesterday had pei Wei wanton soup and nursed the lettuce wrap appetizer for lunch and dinner...just the filling...

Oh my god that is terrible....just devastating

Omg! You look adorable and younger...I did not recognize you! Lol well congrats on your weight loss! R u working out yet and what r u eating...I am sick of full liquids, bot I did cheat and had a small bag of pop chips today...hee hee!
