2 snaps and a twist! Love it!

So it's the first day i can eat mushy food, yogurt, cottage cheese etc. I was so excited, now i am terrified to take that first bite!

Ooohhhh, pureed food! Lucky! I start tomorrow on mashed potatoes, loosely prepared, Greek yogurt, applesauce and oatmeal. Woot woot!

Hi ladies, doing well. They thought a possible blood clot. They gave me an ultra sound on my legs and chest ct. All turned out negative. I had shortness of breath and calves hurt. They chalked it up to dehydration. So everyone, sip sip sip. Thanks for the prayers!

Minor set back. At ER, I'll keep you ladies posted. If you pray, please send some my way please. Thanks!

Starting weight 230 Day of surgery after 3 day liquid diet 225 Today 211.5 We are all going to lose at different rates, depending on starting weight, age, etc. we got this! We are all going to rock it. Oh, btw, I'm short! Lol 5.2

It's weigh in Thursday!

How is everyone doing this Wednesday!? I'm still struggling to get all my liquids in but doing pretty well with the protein shakes... pain is minimizing but I still can't sleep well. I have to take shots in my belly (blood thinner)even I'm getting used to those! Overall I'm improving, hope you all are doing well!

I had surgery on 8/22 and next week is the mushy week. Then week 3 tuna! I have never been so excited to eat tuna!

I think weigh in Thursdays would be great!

I def had a sore back when I got home. It still is. It gets better when the gas gets moving too. Standing straight is difficult.

Maybe tmi but has anyone passed stool or something like it?

I'm Home now. But hard getting in liquids. Any one else afraid of eating jello?

On the losers bench! The gas pain is awful. On clear liquids. No Catheter, off the oxygen and leg pumps that prevent clots. But my oh my all the pills and shots and i.v. Duff is crazy. Everyone says i look great, incisions good. Took a shower. Pray for burps! Let's all kit!

I just got the final call from my surgeons office that everything has been approved. They will call me later with check-in time for tomorrow. I think it has finally set in and I am starting to cry. I am happy and so nervous. I know this is the best thing for me -but now doubt is rushing in. I have ROCKED my 3 day liquid diet though! So that gives me real hope and strength. I can't wait to talk to you all after we are on the losers bench!

mrs.katie you are on the ball! I think I am still thinking this is unreal, or maybe surreal. I started the clear liquid diet today. Thinking about packing my bag tonight. I am so nervous and excited, Been watching youtube videos all day at work, I cannot concentrate!

I am the 22nd as well. Start the liquid (all clear) on Monday. Nervous. Excited. So many emotions. I've been overweight for 16 years. I'm a single mom and want to get healthy for my little girl and myself. So glad we are in this together!
