Hi. Did anyone else skip a period after surgery? I never got mine this month and I am wondering if it is related. I am not pregnant for sure for sure. Surgery was June 27th.

Mine is named Pearl... And recently she has been a fussy little b*tch.... :-/ ah well.

I have only lost 14 lbs since my surgery. I will be a month post op on Thursday. I am feeling very frustrated. I came home from the hospital at 324. I'm at 306 this morning. I lost more on the 2 week liquid diet per-op than I have in a month after. Depressing.

I ate 5 lean cuisine Thai chicken rolls and 1 graham cracker. It didn't seem like much when I was eating, but now thinking about it seems like a lot. I don't feel hungry or full ever. :-/ frustrating.

I got 10 out! They smelled so good baking! Can't wait to try one tomorrow after they cool!

Saw my NUT today and got a good review! Down 29.2 lbs according to her records. 3 weeks post op plus 2 weeks preop liquid diet. I feel like it should be more, but not complaining (much!) Got cleared for most general food! Just no steak, raw tough veggies, or popcorn/seeds... So excited to eat something crispy or crunchy!!! Done with the mush!!! Yay!

Thanks for sharing! This is great! I see my dietician tomorrow and I am going to ask her if I can have this yet! I know it's not bread bread, but I'm not approved to have "bread" yet so... But this looks and sounds fantastic!

I'm about 2.5 weeks out and not only have I stalled, I actually gained back almost 2 lbs. have had a lot of stress and feeling awful about gaining. I have been getting in 60 gr of protein a day. Haven't had trouble with any food. I am having 3 meals 1/4 c and 3 "snacks" a day. Seems like a lot more than everyone else. Usually 500-900 cals depending on what I choose. So frustrated. :-/

I also heard that you don't retain enough nutrients if you drink too soon after because the fluids prevent the absorption.

I got cleared to the next diet stage!!! Scrambled egg with cheese! But I couldn't finish it...

Speaking of water, I have been SO THIRSTY today. I just want to guzzle and guzzle but I am not feeling satisfied. I am 10 days post op... Anyone else get this way??? I know I am doing more than an oz every 15 mins but I can't help it! No issues so far as far as pain or discomfort.

I can't wait to have watermelon again! It's my favorite!!!

Jumping the gun a little... I made chicken breast in the crock pot for my husband... Just plain. I put a little in the grinder with a bunch of fat free gravy and a dash of skim milk... Not supposed to have puréed until maybe Tuesday, but I am SO TIRED of pudding and yogurt!!! Here's to hoping I am not gonna have big issues!!!

I heard this was a good idea, but do you know why?
