Who would have thought this former couch potatoe would have ran 2 miles this morning????

22 getting surgery 1/9/13. Starting all liquids tomorrow, freaking out!!

I had my 2 week post-op appt yesterday. Everyone is pleased with my progress and weight loss (20 lbs.). NUT says I can now start "soft textured" and "moist" foods like chicken, turkey,fish,casseroles,corn or rice based cereals, fresh and frozen vegetables.
Looking forward to it!

I am still in the hospital,being discharged tomorrow. He did a hiatal hernia repair as well, all is well so far..I am hungry!! Can you believe it, hope I have good restriction when I am able to eat solids! Will update tomorrow when get home,,, thank you very much again for your support,...

Each day will get better. I am 10 days post op and I spent 6 hours at the office today. Just a week ago I could not have dreamed of feeling so much better that quick.

Well I am only a week and a half out and I spent 6 hours in the office today and another three hours on the computer at home. I am pretty beat but I was going crazy at home. Yesterday I got 59 grams of Protein and am hoping to pass 60 today.

I just ate pureed chicken and green Beans in a fat free cream of chicken/broth mix. Never thought I would say this but after 8 days of clear liquids....I loved it

Luvindee.. my walking was pretty limited to around the house for the first week. My one week appointment was yesterday and I received the green light to start getting some Protein in. My wife, daughter and I went for a walk last night and wewent about a mile. Definitely not a fast pace but my goal is to start getting in the habit of setting aside time to exercise for long term success.

You've got this Vicki!

Have my first post op appt today. Surgery was 7/2. I am currently down 30 lbs! Nutritionist and surgeon were very pleased with everything. I have no restrictions and can do anything I want! I can eat any anything I can tolerate and he is letting me skip the pureed stange! yay!! Just chew really well. My surgeon always makes me feel so great. He told me I looked great and keep up the good work!!

Mine went well too! On to full liquids. I had a little more then 1/4 cup of strained cream of mushroom Soup with some melted mozzarella cheese melted in it. It was fabulous! I have to wait 2 more weeks to have an egg but I finally feel I have turned the corner. I also am down 28 pounds since the start of this journey. Glad you are doing well!

You will do great! Just keep doing what they ask you. Walking post op can be your best friend. You can do this!

One week appointment went well. I am about to have what seams like a feast to me. 1/4 cup of egg beaters

Congrats Jetson!!! Your almost there!

I am so excited! I am sitting on a plane and I'm able to fasten my seatbelt without having to ask for a seatbelt extender! I have flown for the last two weeks for work and haven't had to ask for one and today I'm on a different airline than I normally fly and I don't need an extender for their planes either. So seatbelt extender free on American & Delta airlines! I am smiling from ear to ear!

I made it! Sorry for taking so long to update. I have been sleeping most of the day. My wife told me everything went well. Apparently I have spoken to a lot of people but I don't remember much. Pain is not too bad. I feel like I have done 10,000 sit ups while trying to hold my mother-in-law.

My day is finally here. I am strangely calm. Today is like any other. I am completely in the hands of God.

Driving from sanibel island home and stopped at cracker barrel. I got meatloaf and green Beans. Ate about 1/4 cup meatloaf and one bite of beans. Yum!!!

Ellismom' scrambled eggs sound pretty good right now. Let me know how the one month appointment goes.
