I had sushi tonight. I'm almost 6 weeks post op and on regular diet (save for grains). I got the crab naruto roll which has no rice and is wrapped in cucumber and I also got some sashimi tuna. In all I ate about 1 1/2 pieces of the roll and 1 piece of the tuna. It was amazing

I'm sorry he is not being supportive. My husband and I still go out to dinner. I just plain to take home a doggy bag. It is a hard adjustment for couples who use food as bonding and entertainment. Once he sees you can still have fun without over indulging it will improve

Hit my 100 lbs gone. Its taken almost 7 months. I feel so much better! Only 38 lbs to meet goal! Dont give up! The hard work is worth it!

So frustrating Ladies.....one word of advice to Denise.....water, Water, water....if you are exercising and not getting the minimum of 64oz of water....the scale will be cruel...it seems strange but its 100% true that flushing your body with Water will flush out the excess water from exercise and you will see the scale respond....I had to remind myself of this simple truth as well....its so hard when you are working out and don't see it on the scale...more water....is your best friend.....trust me....
Good Luck Ladies...we can do this!

I initially set two goals: a goal of 140 and stretch goal of 130. I hit 140 about a month ago and like where I am. Ultimately I'd like to maintain at around 135 and will work toward it but I'm not working too hard so it will take awhile. Go with how you feel and look. At 138, my tummy is mostly flat, I wear a size small (4/6) so I learned I didn't have to lose as much as I thought.

I was approved!

I am in my pre-op liquid diet (surgery 4/11)... last week I dined with friends at Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel. I asked if I could speak to the Chef. He came to me three times during the evening and was very discreet and accommodating. He was willing to help in any way and served me a wonderful chicken stock Soup, a small salad with the exact ingredients that I had requested, and rounded out the meal with a lovely raspberry yogurt. All served with class and discretion. You can partner with the manager and/or chef at any of the Resort restaurants and they will do thier best to accommodate your dietary needs. I love Disney. Full disclosure I am a Cast Member... but Chef did not know that. The service he provided would have been excellent for anyone. So impressed. Have a great time.

The liwuid and puree phase suck no way to sugar coat it. We feel your pain. Just keep your head in the game. Soft foods very well chewed are essentially pureed in mt humble opinion.

Hi everyone, just a quick follow-up: One week later, and I am down 5 lbs. I had a decent week and was able to get back on track. I appreciate all the support!
Be well…

I track but it is tedious because of the small portion sizes and adjusting MFP for that.

I went to the doctor this week for my 3 week check up and the doctor said I should be losing at least 10 pounds a month and I lost 32 pounds. I also got my butt into a size 18 jeans, I'm doing my happy dance around the house.

I bought these pants a few days ago and wore them for the first time today!! SIZE 8!!!!!
Whooooohoooo!!!!
I've been a little upset with my scale, but I'm about to focus on muscle instead. I was dead-set on getting to goal before I muscle up (head games, I know). But pics like this help put things into perspective. So, I think I'll throw out the number goal and start lifting ??
Pic: size 18 vs size 8!

Spray tans are quick and can look fantastic!

It does! Im five weeks out and can go to dinner with my family no problem. I eat alot less, but leftovers are nice!
