I did for a few weeks post-op. I ate gas-x chewables like my life depended on it. It eventualy passed. (No pun intended)

I make an avocado dip every once in a while. I only eat a 2oz serving at a time along with a 1oz serving of chips.

I make a chia seed drink. 1/2 gallon of water and 4 tablespoons of chia seeds. I flavor the water with fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of Agave nectar. Delicious!!

Hang in there!!!! 5 days is not a stall, so don't get hung up on that. Be patient. Hold the vision and trust the process. Best wishes!

I started eating 1 oz of dry cereal around the 12 week post-op mark. As of now, I can eat 1 oz of cereal with about 4 oz of milk. I love starting my day off this way.

Hold the vision and trust the process!! You will break thru this stall!!!

This book really opened my eyes to the food industry. Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss (Feb 28, 2013) Great topic!

I was cleared to lift weights at the ten week mark.

I was delayed twice, so don't despair. It happens.

I agree with Chelly, look into getting a personal trainer.

I haven't tried Go lean yet, but I want to.

i started eating them 4 months post-op. They are my number one go to when I have to eat out with friends or family.

A huge thank you to all the vets. I have learned so much from you!!!

I just had my nine month post-op follow up and my doctor and my NUT are a little concerned about me. They both feel I have lost enough weight. I told them I have not. I have had family members, co-workers, and friends ask me how much more I plan on loosing. I tell them I have no idea but ten more pounds would be awesome. They all look at me like I am crazy. I probably am, but I am having so much fun that I don't really care what anyone thinks. I am in uncharted waters and until the boat starts to sink, I am going to keep sailing. Awesome topic!!!

Really glad to hear it!!!

I only lost 5 pounds. I don't think my pre-op diet was as restrictive as it should have been. I only had to do a 5 day full liquid diet.

I am doing what I was put on this Earth to do, deliver medical supplies and have salon quality hair.

I had to wait 10 weeks before I could lift weights, swim, and (at the time) try running. I walked as much as I could during those ten weeks. I also did light stretching and I played Wii Sports.

Alright!!! Are there any support groups in your area? I have been told by others on this site that it is a great way to stay motivated.

I am sure it does.

And that doesn't motivate you?

Awesome!!!

I have throughly enjoyed becoming "skinny." People look at me like I am nuts when I tell them I want to loose more. I just smile at them and walk away.

When I hit my first goal(onderland), I bought an awesome full suspension mountain bike. When I hit my second goal(170) I am going skydiving.
