  1. I am feeling great in body and mind but my spirit is starting to feel a little down. Within a few day of my surgery I dropped 20 pounds then nothing!! I know that we all seem to stall after the initial loss but I have actually gained 4 lbs back in the last couple of days inspite of the fact that I have increased my physical activity and severely decreased my eating!!! I'm starting to get concerned that I'm doing something wrong!!

      I'm doing great with the fluid, managing 66 oz a day. I'm eating 3, 3 oz pureed meals and 1-2 1oz snack...I have a new love for beans now!! I guess I just need to be patient!! LOL

      What kind of beans are you eating and how are you cooking them?

      fat free, refried beans cold out of the can. I measure out 2oz and eat them with 1oz slice of turkey lunch meat. I think I need to increase my water, I have noticed that on some days I didnt even manage 30oz, so now my water comes first before I consume anything else!!

       

  2. Good morning!!! 2 weeks post op and I am feeling great!! This morning I drank my protein, walked 3 miles then ate an egg for breakfast all before 9am...loving my new routine and way of life <3

      I'm just a little ahead of you, I was sleeved on June 23rd. I'm not minding puree at all! My doctor started me on it at the beginning of week 2 and I'll be on it through the 5th week.

       

      Congrats on quitting smoking!

      Thank you!! I am thrilled to be sleeved and an ex-smoker :-) My Dr. had me on liquids for 2 weeks, pureed food from today to the 24th, then soft solids until my next appointment.

  4. Ok, so not only have I quit eating on June 27th but I have also quit smoking!!! It has been 13 days since my last cigarette and I have found today to be the most difficult as I am finding myself wanting to munch!! I am trying gum to keep my mouth busy and am about to take a walk...I refuse to eat or smoke, I CAN DO THIS!!!!

      Congrats on both.

      Hate tell you this but gum is not an option it puts air and gas in your stomach which is not good.

      After six months I understand you can chew it again just occasionally.

      No need for the gum as the walk took the edge off just fine, thanks for letting me know about the gum though Chelly!! Thanks for the encouragement and well wishes Babbs, Chelly and Hopeful!!!

       

  5. This afternoon while grocery shopping I could feel a sugar low coming on while I was checking out. I am still on liquids only but wanting to raise my sugar (and maybe cheat just a little) I opened a box of pretzel crackers and hummus and promptly shoved 4 crackers and 2 teaspoons of hummus in my face....I am feeling stuffed like a pig but my sugar is back to normal!! Grrrrrrrrrr :-/

      This as a lesson I learned within 10 minutes of my little cheat...Thanks for the pointers ladies, no more cheating in my future. I guess I just needed to see what I could get away with :-/

      Whenever I go to the grocery store or even the bank or something, I carry some apple juice or water...as soon as I feel myself getting weak or anything I start sipping my liquids...That helps alot...

  6. Today I learned that if you drink your protein drink too fast you will no longer need a laxative...LOL

      How I wish!!! I'm struggling with constipation and my doctor today just gave me some things to try. He didn't mention drinking shakes to fast! :)
