I'm two months out and down 40. I think ur doing great.

I haven't needed one. Ur tummy will tell u when ur done. I'm 8 weeks post op and down 40. :0)

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. It's insane that our circumstances can be compared to an alcoholic or other addiction but it is so very true. Well, I made 2oz of egg salad with one large egg and low-fat mayo. I mashed the hell out of it with a fork then chew, chew, chew until it felt like applesauce and it went down ok. A lot of tummy noises (I'm so hoping that dies down a bit). I couldn't even finish it (left maybe a teaspoon). My body told me exactly when to stop. That has NEVER happened to me...or maybe I just never listened.

Lol. Thanks

I'm supposed to start purees today and, at almost noon, I have yet to eat anything. I had my surgery 5/7/13. Going in I had already lost over 10 pounds on my pre-op diet and, as of today, I'm down a total of almost 25. I've followed all instruction to the tee and things have worked out beautifully so far so why am I scared today? Ugh. I feel like it's a showdown with my arch nemesis. lol

I have a tentative date set for 5/7 considering all goes well with my endoscopy next week. Woo hoo! Yay us!

I may eventually feel differently about telling people, however, right now this is something I'm pretty emotional about and I'd rather keep it private because not everyone will understand. I need an interrogation and opinions from every Tom, d**k and Harry like I need a hole in the head. Thanks for all ur input. U guys are great.

Omg. Throwing up blood sounds really scary. Has anyone else had that happen.

Ur post helped me make up my mind about my "story" (lol). Thanks a bunch

Thanks to everyone for the input. Your responses are very much appreciated. I think I'm leaning toward the hiatal hernia as I have researched a bit and those dietary restrictions do mimic those that we need to follow. U guys were all super helpful. Thanks again. :0)

Thanks.
