It's amazing to see everyone's progress I'm so proud of us all

Night before surgery 9/9 about 12/17

It is so amazing they can make diet drinks like diet dr pepper soooo tasty, but they can't do anything with Protein shakes. No matter what - they are sooo gross, even the smell can make you gag! I drink mine in my sleep about 5:30 in the morning so I won't have to remember it!! Lol

Glad I'm not the only one with the scale problem. I only lost one pound last week and I'm not eatin anything at all. I am barley getting in my fluids. I wanted to cry in fact I did cry. was pissed @ my Dr. for making a big deal out of the 1 lbs loss. Now I am even more PISSED now that I now I'm not the only one it's happening to. Can't wait to see him next week. Imma chew him up n spit him out. I won't stay mad tho. He is a good Dr and I love his staff. They comforted my better than my boyfriend when I found out I found out I only lost a pound.

I think one of the worse things we can do is compare our weightloss with everyone elses. I agree with DL.....how do you feel, 5 pounds a week is unreal compared to diets we've all been on before this surgery. You're doing awesome!
I human too and it's so natural to want to compare or check out the losses. When I find myself doing that....I change it up and remind myself this isn't a race, this is my life....and I'm going to do the best I can. I can't see the finish line yet but, I sure know I'm going in the right direction
Keep up the great work!

Promoted to soft, chewable foods!! So excited.

I can't drink syntrex nectar I have some samples if anyone is interested to purchase I also can't tolerate Isopure either

But how do you feel? Are you exercising? Are clothes looser?
Wait you have reduced 24 lbs so that not none right? I would suggest you not get hung up on numbers but focus on changing habits utlizing the tool you have fought so hard for to achieve healthy eating and better health. The wt will leave soon and on the bright side slower means more chance for your skin to rebound. Keep up your Vitamins so you don't lose hair etc. good luck it will come!

There Michele I fixed your user name. I admit I did the list yesterday on drugs lol.
I personally like the idea of a Facebook group and I love this support site maybe once we all have surgery and establish a core group we can make the fb page to keep in touch in addition to here. I know you all want videos and pics and info about my grandson ( he is the cutest 18 month old evaaaaaaa)

I have to agree its so far from being the easy way out. I'm praying for you. Your journey has been rough so far but you will be better soon I'm sure. I get really tired too. I can't imagine how you must feel. Hugs take it easy and don't worry yourself. I'm not sure if your religious and if your not I'm not trying to offend you but have faith the Lord he can heal us and make us healthy again.

Mushy sounds like heaven! I feel pretty good physically. I've been really blessed. Mentally I'm obsessing over how much to drink when to take Vitamins what Protein I can get down ect. I want desperately to have some food because some times I have to force myself to drink Protein. I've been doing Premier Protein it has 1 gram sugar and 30 protein. It's easy to drink 2 of them. They are only 11 oz too. I have been trying to walk everyday but I don't think it's been more than 15 mins plus the usual getting around to pick up and what not. I'm making the hubby set up the treadmill I've been afraid to myself but he has off this weekend I'm going to aim for 30 mins at first well see how I do. Thanks for asking how I'm doing.

I'd just run it past the dr. I call their office everytime I have a question and they don't seem to mind better safe than sorry. Hope u feel better soon. The thin strips resolve on ur tongue like listerine strips so nothing goes into ur stomach just absorbed in your mouth. So it may not cause u pain to do them?

I think the best thing I did was get three(3) of those egg crate style bed toppers, place them all on top of each other, makes it a lot easier to sleep!
Then, I blast some gas and make my eyes cry.....really sick of only liquids, want something to TASTE!!!

I asked and they said I have to wait till my appointment with my surgeon. I'm not sure why I think it's because there was no apt sooner than the 5 and he wants to clear me first. He skips puréed phase so ill be able to get into the soft adapted but for real it's hard. I'm ready to eat my arm lol 2 more weeks and then I can eat something real I can't wait!

I get those pains from time to time even if I dont drink it's worse if I breathe deep I think it's gas pain

You look great I'm do happy that ur feeling better

Abd or stomach..lol

Congrats Steve!
Pre liquid diet 1 week before surgery I was 303 today I am 279. I swear even if I only lost a pound I'd be thrilled but for real this is amazing. I haven't been able to get my weight down to this since 2007 when I had my son. I had went from 200 to 285 in 9 months that year during that pregnancy. I've not been able to lose since then and I've had a daughter last year. This is so great I feel like I have a second chance at being a mom.

Very nice day today, FINALLY passed a lot of gas( my dog has been giving me evil looks when I did) but really makes things better! Short walks around house have been the key, now trying to keep mind occupied. Also got some milk of magnesia, also helped with bm

I weigh 280 today. Only 11 days until surgery. I have blood work and a meeting with the surgeon. Pulled out a bunch of my saved jeans from my thinner years. Sure am excited about fitting into them again.

So guys I had my surgery yesterday. I felt horrible all yesterday. I could barely breath because of the gas. I woke up everytime I needed pain meds. My meds made me nauseous so they had to switch them. I couldn't eat ice or Water or take gas x till my nausea was under control. This morning I was still full of gas but I was able to get nausea under control. So I had some water and gas x yay! I have a gi drain that isn't fun. But all in all I'm doing so much better. I got my cath removed and was able to walk a little. I hope all of you stay blessed and have good health. Ill be praying for us all.
