209 this morning. Goal weight was 210.

I hit my Labor Day goal. I weighed 214.4 this morning. New mini goal... 210 by Labor Day

219.6 I started this challenge at 235.

225 today. It hasn't budged in 3 days. I drank 2 glasses of wine Saturday for the first time since surgery. I wonder if that caused a mini stall.

7//7/14 229.6 7/14/14 226.4 This morning 225.6 Labor Day Goal 210.

I've had this shake for lunch twice this week. They have it at a gas station near my work. I love that I can get 40g in one shake. It takes me about an hour to finish it. I'm 3 weeks post op.

I bought 4. One is half full in my fridge and the other 3 are still sitting on my counter. It is possibly one of the worst things I've ever tasted. I tried and tried to finish the one I started but I just couldn't do it.

My last meal before starting my pre-op liquid diet was lobster Mac and cheese with a lobster tail on top. I had a week of faves before that which included a pimento cheese burger with pepper jelly, smothered pork chops with cornbread dressing, pasta with mussels, scallops, and shrimp and a white wine cream sauce, almond fried chicken, sushi.... I also drank a bottle of wine my last night of food and probably a gallon of coke during the week. I'm pretty sure I gained 15 lbs that last month lol

Chapstick was my favorite possession next to my iPad. I had my favorite little egg shaped Chapstick. That stuff is the best. .... Never mind. I just realized this question was from yesterday.

Roll Tide! I'm about 3 hours to your southeast, but I went to UA and travel there frequently. I had surgery 6/21.

You can have canned tuna with fat free mayo, avocados, scrambled eggs, baked, broiled or grilled fish, and any meat that has been cooked all day in the crockpot when you are at the soft food stage.

Every surgeon has different rules and timing for the stages. My particular surgeon says soft foods starts 3 weeks from the date of discharge.

I'm not sure where to set my goal as I've had surgery within the last two weeks and am currently dropping almost a pound a day. I know this will slow down soon. Sw: 245 Cw:235 Goal: 210 (?) too little? Thoughts from the pros?

I work for myself so I've been trying to balance work and my lack of energy. Surgery was 6/21...I was released from the hospital on 6/23 and I had a court hearing in heels the morning of the 25th. I took the rest of that week off and only worked about 4 hours a day this week. My dr keeps you on Clear liquids for a week after you are released and so I had very little energy. I go back to my regular schedule on Monday. I can't wait until I can get to soft foods on 7/13. I think that will really help my energy level. I'm dreaming of scrambled eggs at night lol I haven't had any pain and feel pretty good. Maybe it's not so much a lack of energy as it is I really like this not working thing and wish I could just stay at home a few more weeks.

This is what I'm the most worried about. I lost a bunch of hair when I went through a divorce about 5 years ago and had to have injections in my scalp to restart the growth in those areas. I don't want to go through that a 2nd time. I had surgery 6/21 so I haven't had any hair loss yet. I'm taking chewable biotin dots every day. I just can't seem to get enough protein in while still in the liquid stage. It takes all day to drink a protein shake and I can't find the Special K protein water packs anywhere.
