I've been on a cooked artichoke kick at the moment lol

I keep asking my NUT every week if I can have salad yet (I'm 8 weeks out now....and I'm craving it). She keeps telling me not until around 10-12 weeks How far along are you?

Every meal for me before surgery was the "last supper" LOL And I don't regret it one bit

Here's mine! There's a lot of boards, but I do have a lot of different food sections http://pinterest.com/ladylaura75

I'm 8 weeks out and my feet are shrinking too! I'm in between sizes right now (which is frustrating lol), and I'm trying to figure out how does this happen? I get your foot spreading and the arch falling, etc...but how do feet actually shorten in length? Does anyone know?

I'm 6 weeks out and my NUT said I could as long as I could swallow and tollerate them....
-
I hit a stall! It's frustrating. It hasn't been stalled for too long, but I've only dropped about a pound in about a week and a half. Is that normal? I'm about 5 weeks out now...
-
Thanks everyone!

My doctor made me do 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks pureed and 2 weeks soft foods....I'm nearing the end of my pureed now...finally LOL

I boil my chicken then use a hand mixer to puree it with some marinara sauce. Then to eat it, I put a little parmesan cheese on top. It's pretty good

I was sleeved the same day as you and I'm just down 19 lbs LOL -
Hi all, I've been feeling down lately. I'm in my 4th week, and I've been doing pretty well until now. I don't know why suddenly it's kicking in, but I've been almost mourning my old stomach. I miss being able to eat whatever, and eat what my family is eating. I miss being able to drink in between bites if I wanted to. I'm finding myself crying and just...sad. Anyone else experience this?
-
Yeah it took me about 2 weeks before I could even stand up straight without pain LOL Hang in there it will get better!
-
Thank you for the encouragement everyone! It is nice to know it's normal and I'm not alone. I do look forward to the day when I can even eat a salad again lol but...until then...I'll keep thinking of those clothes I'm going to buy off the rack
-
Thanks everyone!
-
I think once I get to the stage where I can have more options in the diet it will get easier. It's just really hard right now for some reason...
-
Oooo good idea Did you just leave the croutons out?
-
I'm not trying to. Obviously I don't like it and wish I didn't feel this way!
-
Do men lose faster than women, or is it my imagination? LOL Btw, you do look great! Keep up the good work!

I asked my surgeons office today when I can start back at the gym and she told me not until 6 weeks out (I'm 4 now...) I walk, but I would love to start weights and gets these arms firmed LOL

Yeah I went to my cousins wedding and nobody said anything. I know I haven't lost a WHOLE lot yet...but the closest I got was from my mom, "I can see it in your face"...well gee...that's great, but what about the rest of me LOL -
Can we have crackers at this stage?
-
I don't puree the tuna....I just mush it up like normal and chew it well. I can't wait until I'm out of this stage lol
-
I'm in my 3rd week post-op and just wondering how long the burping and such lasts? Everytime I swallow something I drink or eat, my throat gurgles and I burp. It's getting embarrassing Does it stop soon I hope?
-
Yes! And it's loud lol
