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.

My surgery was June 21st. I'm going back to work tomorrow and will also finally get to be on full liquids. I haven't had much pain or heartburn yet and I'm hoping that will continue as I leave the clear liquid stage. I didn't lose much the first few days but dropped 2 lbs between Friday night and Saturday. I keep telling myself that the weight will melt away, I just have to keep smiling and following the doctor's orders. Nice to meet some people who are within just a few days of me.

The ride to the hospital takes 5 minutes. You stay safely inside until you take your 5 minute trip back across the border. They didn't even stamp my passport at the border. It doesn't look like I even left the country. Rosy does the run 7 days a week. You are in good hands. I've got a bunch of pics of my experience that I would be happy to share with you. They make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. It doesn't hurt that Dr. A and Dr. Rosales are both good looking guys. :-)

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.

Surgery Date 6/21/14
SW 245
CW 238
I start full liquids tomorrow. Can't wait. I've been living off of sugar free Popsicles and Gatorade. I've already made myself a homemade low fat low carb crab bisque to take to work with me tomorrow.

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.

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 was there June 21st-23rd. The hospital is a mile over the border. Rosy pulls you straight up to the hospital and walks you inside to meet Dr. Alvarez. Jessica will take your family to dinner or to the market during your hospital stay. My mom went to a store down the block by herself with no problem, but she speaks perfect Spanish. She didn't find it any more dangerous than where we live in the states. You will love Dr. Alvarez. I was up walking the halls the day of surgery and walked the Riverwalk and Alamo area as a tourist the day I was released from the hospital.

I only had to do one week of liquids pre-op and I thought I would starve the first 3 days. After that I wasn't "starving" anymore or maybe I just got used to the empty feeling. I had surgery on 6/21 and have been on Clear Liquids since. Now I'm actually looking forward to being allowed a Protein Shake and some thicker Soups. I'm planning a healthy version of crab bisque (using puréed cauliflower instead of cream), butternut squash Soup, split pea soup.... The yummy "full liquid" choices seem like an opportunity to me now instead of a dreaded punishment. Get creative in the kitchen and find some delicious things you can have on your liquid diet.
