Congratulations! I have 11 more pounds left to lose until I reach 100 lost!! I had my surgery May 23rd 2013! !

I would ask your surgeon as all plans are different but I was able to eat that soup around the same time post op. For me though it didn't sit well, however the wonton soup was perfect!

If your Dr allows it try popcorners, they are in the shape of tortilla chips but they are popcorn

Steak tips with mushrooms, onions, and broccoli.

I made a ginger chicken stir fry, yummy!!

I made meatloaf with ground chicken spinach mixed in and stuffed with low fat mozzarella cheese with a light alfrado sauce over it.

Checking in also, my surgery was May 23rd and I am down 47 lbs!! Finally starting to get the hang of things!

Fellow May post ops, Just wanted to start a thread to see how everyone is dealing with life after surgery. I am finally getting use to eating, taking my Vitamins, Protein, and maintaining my Fluid amounts (this was the hardest for me). When I first had the surgery it was difficult for me to deal with the social aspect of this surgery, such as going to the movies with out getting Snacks or sugary drink or meeting up with friends for a drink or dinner and not being able to enjoy the same things. I know these seem like such small things but to me at first it was quite difficult even though I did plan on this and prepare for it. Thank goodness that is over with!!! I have found new activities to enjoy and my friends still invite me out even when I am eating off their plates and they also like having a designated driver!! Anyone else have stories of struggles or victories to share?

My starting weight was 232 and my current weight is now 186, my surgery was May 23rd!! 46 lbs total and still in between sizes but loving that if I buy something a little tight it will fit in a few weeks!!
