There was NO WAY I could have eaten regular food. No way what so ever. I think the farthest I went was one egg and three very small bites of cottage cheese all chewed to liquid consistency, and that was only because we went out to eat for Mothers Day.

Surgery date 4/29/13

HW 214

SW 214

CW 193

I stalled for 7 days as well at 197

Mine was April 29th.

I use Centrum Citrus Liquid Multivitamins and keep it in the fridge. Its not too bad, the consistency is like liquid tylenol.

LOL I'm practicing that now before surgery.

People do have a tendency to blast others on here don't they! Im pre surgery April 29th is my date. I think there are so many emotions that go into all this no one ever has the right answers. Hope you get through this just fine though! I'm rooting for you!

I'm wondering how those of you six months in are doing and how much weight you've lost already? What do you eat now? How does it make you feel, for instance do certain things make you sick? Can you have a "regular" diet, I mean eat whatever you want just very small portions of it? How do you keep from stretching out your pouch?

Hi,

I think watching my dad struggle with his diabetes the later part of his life really clinched the deal for me. I didnt want to have to take insulin shots. The next thing would be that I would like to take pictures with my loved ones without being self conscious. I never want to take pictures with my boyfriend, my son, or anyone because of my weight. It's a bummer for them. A movie theater seat is getting close to being to small to sit in. Mostly I am doing this for my health and my future.
