Girl, put ur big girl panties on & dont worry about lil stuff like this. A stall? We been in a stall for as long as we been fat. U worried about the way ur body look after 3weeks? Dont do that 2 urself. When u feel like that please think about me...I started at 526lbs, so imagine what this body is going 2 look like in 6 months 2 a yr....but I DONT CARE!!!!!!! Im going 2 put on a GOOD girdle & my Sunday bra & keep it moving. THIS journey is about being healthy. If u dont like certain things believe me its some doctor somewhere that can fix it...from now on put all ur change left from $20 in a jar & call it my NEW body collection & by the time u lose all that weight, u will be ready 2 fix whatever u like. Think positive about this, u just added YEARS 2 ur life!

So I was cleared 2 eat soft food 2day. I jus made me 1 pc of talapia. I cut up some onion & bell pepper, put 1 teaspoon of butter in a skillet & let that simmer...then I put a pinch of seasoning on the fish & jus put it right on top of that simmer. It was the BEST fish I ever ate in life...maybe cuz its been WEEKS on liquids. I cant wait 2 eat this fish EVERYDAY..lol I made 3 pcs & could only eat half of 1...but it was damned good!

Girl, peanut butter is protien...lol Anyway, ur body is like WHT the hell is she doing...so u get those feelings of I NEED something other than just liquid. U are fighting against ur own mind. My mind says a protein drink or shake..is just that, a drink, where is the food? So u literally have 2 play tricks on urself. You will be fine. I ate 3 grilled chicken patties on my liquid diet not all at the same time but I did it & everything went fine. You can do this, trust me IF I can ANYBODY can.

Im sorry I dont have any good news for you because 2day Im really down myself. I shouldnt be because just like you, I too have lost weight (30lbs) & Im only 2 weeks out but for some reason Im just not feeling into it. I feel like I wanna just climb back in bed, put the covers over my head & just cry myself to sleep. I think about how I have SOOOO much weight 2 lose & it gets 2 me EVERYTIME. All I can say is keep doing what you been doing as far as your weight lost is concerned & pray that moments like those pass. I know Im praying & HARD!

BE ENCOURAGED!

This week I am starting 2 have my follow up appointments & I went to the 1 of the doctors 2day. Now when I 1st went I couldnt be weighed on their scale because it only went up to 500lbs & as all of u know I was 526lbs. Well 2day, when he called my name I was thinking omg, Im still not going 2 be able 2 give my weight. So the nurse said just put all of ur things dwn & lets see. So I did & I got on that scale WITH MY SHOES ON & it read 497lbs smh. Yall have no idea, how that made me feel. I know EVERY scale dont go up 2 (500lbs) but I can actually get weighed like a normal person...all I could do is cry. Most ppl dont have 2 worry about that kinda stuff but I do & it made my day 2 see my weight come accross that screen EVEN THO its still alot it came accross that screen & thats ALL that matters 2 me.

Congratulations on ur new life.

What happened?
-
Well, I dont kno really because I have 2 different list...1 from the doctor and 1 from the hosp. The doc says, that full liquids include puree things such as soft eggs and mashed potatoes....BUT the hosp list reads full liquids is just that ONLY liquids. My doc says at my 2week appt. he will introduce me to soft foods which is AFTER puree, I been really hoping that Im doing the right thing. I can only get 3 spoons dwn anyway, so the rest is all liquids.

NeverBeTheSameAgain replied to NeverBeTheSameAgain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&AGirl, thats the hosp protocol... then I had 2 stay because my blood pressure wouldn't come down. I have a high pain tolerance so I was using the meds. They made me take the meds & once it went down I went home
-
