pureed cottage chesse isn't "gross". It has the consistencty of Greek yogurt.
For breakfast, I did pureed cottage cheese with a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, and artificial sweetner. It tastes like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting!
Another treat: 16 ounces low-fat cottage cheese pureed with 1 small envelope of sugar free Jello powder - makes four 4 oz. servings. strawberry is my favorite, but any flavor will work.

If you start out heavy enough you can easily lose 30 pounds in a month just by dieting. I lost 35 in the first month of my six month pre-op diet. I started out at 484 pounds. After six months of sensible eating (no sweets, very liitle carbs) I lost 112 pounds. The first month I was losing a pound a day, the second and third month five pounds a week, then four, then three pounds a week by month six. Then I went on my two-week peo-op liquid diet and lost a pound a day again Two weeks out of surgery, I am currently losing at the rate of six pounds a week. I'm down to 340 - 144 pounds lost so far!

I'm one month out from surgery. I'm currently losing 5 pounds a week. Even if that goes down to 4 pounds, I'll reach my goal by the end of the year.

Here's a "before" pic - I don't have any full body pics, but you can see the change in my face. My old double chin is now a slight turkey neck.

I hate when total strangers address me as "Big Man". If I was 6'4", maybe I wouldn't mind. But I'm 5'6". "Big Man" is just their passive-aggressive way of calling me "Fat Boy".

The heavier you start out, the quicker you lose. I started at 480. My insurance required a six month supervised weight loss program BEFORE surgery. I lost 110 pounds in the six months. My surgery was 7 weeks ago and I've lost 50 more pounds. I'm now at 320. I hope to be under 200 by the end of the year.

Sleeved 2/25. Total loss for four weeks (including two week pre-op diet) = 26 pounds.
I had to do a six month supervosed diet before the surgery (required by my insurance), during which I lost 106 pounds. So, seven month total = 132 pounds. Starting weight: 474. Current weight: 342.
