You look awesome! Congrats!!!

This was about a month preop and the other one was last night... 39 pounds down 75 to go!

I have tried to pick up my protein intake, because I won't getting enough... But now I feel like I am eating ALLLLL THE TIME... Is this normal? I feel like I should only eat of I'm hungry. (Which is not much)

Ok so I'm 4 weeks post op and I'm craving a diet mt dew!!!!! Haven't had one in 6 weeks.... Why now?!?!?

I add a little bit of mustard to my egg salad... As well as the mayo.. :-)

I understand... Mine was so bad it hurt to take a breath or even move a certain way... Thankfully it didn't last long.

The same thing happened to me about 13 days post op. I felt like a hot poker was in my main incision. The dr said it was from my nerves healing. Stayed for a couple of days and hasn't bothers me since. I am now 3 weeks out

Okay girls, I had my surgery on 4-16 and including preop I was down 37 pounds... This morning I weighed and had gained TWO whole pounds?!?!? How do I gain two pounds? I went to the soft food portion of my diet this week could this have something to do with it?

Mine does it when my heart rate goes up to high. Happens when I do to much or the shower gets to hot. And I am 13 days post op.

Hey everyone glad to hear everyone is getting along so well! I am 10 days post op and still a little sore but not hurting. I am to the point I want FOOD. Like maybe an egg with some cheese yummmm, or even yogurt. I was on a two week liquid diet before and lost 14 pounds and currently on a two week liquid diet. In 10 days I have lost 20 pounds. So a total of 34 pounds!! Less hip less hip hooray!!! I don't have much energy because I can't seem to get all the needed protein in. They are so sweet and I am just sick of sweetness!!!! 4 more days, is what I keep telling myself!

Do you think cream of chicken Soup would be ok?? I'm 1 week post op, and on a liquid diet (Protein shakes 4 times a day) Not sure what to do.... HELP

Hello everyone!!! I just want to check on everyone, hope you guys are doing well. Had my surgery 4/16/14. I'm still sore on my left side. My back is starting to hurt from not being able to stand up straight. When I stand on the scales and I'm 20 pounds down (14 preop and 6 since surgery) it makes it all worth it. Is anyone else having trouble getting the Protein and fluids in?

My surgery was 4/16... Finally home!!! Really sore in my left side... Hoping to get some relief SOON. hope everyone is doing well. Preop 276 Sw. 260

Surgery is tomorrow morning!!!! Check in at 8am and surgery scheduled for 10am! So glad this 2 week preop diet is over 14 pounds down!! Now to get past tomorrow!!! I can't believe the day has finally got here. Thanks for all the love and support from each of you! Good luck to everyone else that is tomorrow.

I'm on day 10 of my optifast preop diet and my blood sugar keeps dropping.... Is this normal?!? What could I do for it?

I am making mine into Popsicles.... Pretty good!!!
