I all! I have been so excited with the weight coming off. Had surg on July 11 SW-293 day of surg-278 Today-258!! Yay!! I'm down 2 sizes. Seriously I don't remember this weight. My mom said I think u just skipped a lot of weight! Ha. I believe her. First pic..size 18 second pic and third pic 20-22 third pic is heaviest 293. I'm off blood pressure pills and have energy. Im only 4 wks out and still struggle with Protein but I'm getting majority thru food. shakes r awful, trying the Protein drinks but it has to be ice cold...not tasty. I've been eating those protein Cookies and some bars. Dr said doing good. Cheat-- I ate a corner of a brownie and sugar free vanilla ice cream.(4 protein) blue bell. I had no prob with ice cream cause I ate it before....brownie on the other end. I dumped! But TMI alert....diarrhea like instant. Don't try brownies y'all. Unless they are sugar free! Thanks and if u have any snack tips I've been craving things I shouldn't crave I know it's head hunger but what are some healthy quick items you have had and liked. Thanks!

you look fab darling! Congrats!

Dang barebones! It will get better for u don't lose hope. This is hard as it is so any nausea n vomiting makes it worst. We try to use a bottled water and sip all day on it. Staying hydrated is so important we r struggling with protein so all foods must contain it. Much luck to u on ur journey!

Thanks for all the well wishes! Hope all the others here who had surg July 11 are doing great! First day was the pits! Pain and gas pain all in one! Gas x is ur friend! I hav finally got comfortable so I will check out of here! Ttyl!

I feel like a ball of emotions! My surg is July 11 and I am excited and emotional. This liver shrink diet has me totally crazy. It's not that hard but influences(coworkers) saying hey let's get burgers for lunch, doesn't help. I've been strong but it is still tough. Hubby had his surg tues and it went great smooth sailing. He said his most pain was the first night. But he has been doing great! No pain, eating puréed, drinking, everything! I'm so proud of him and watching him has me more calm about my surg. Ladies we r gonna do great just don't let the emotions get the best of us!

Vamp girl that's my size now can't wait to get to half! Hubby is at home now from surgery on Tuesday. He said he has no pain! Wow I hope I'm the same! Now I gotta get his energy up he has just been laying around. Did u go thru that at all?

No solution for alcohol;(( I'm sad too...but maybe in much smaller portions. If u can't control it don't even try it. Pizza- my fav also...recipe
Tortilla wrap-low carb or no fat
Pizza sauce
Low fat cheese mozzarella
Turkey pepperoni
Ground turkey sausage
Sautéed veggies(soft)
Pop Tortilla in a skillet to brown then add pizza sauce cheese, veggies and toppings pop in oven for 6 mins and bam!
Low fat pizza...make sure u go by serving size to check calories and fat and protein.
Enjoy!

Ha!! I've heard chicken thighs are more tender meat I saw a recipe on YouTube I can't remember but u could purchase boneless skinless thighs an bell pepper, onion sautéd and season chicken with taco seasoning. Also sprinkle a little low fat cheese on. Hope this helps!
