Congratulations on your weightloss everyone! I had my surgery July 11, in Tijuana Mexico. Was a little scared, but a friend had gone a couple of years ago and had fabulous results, so I bit the bullet and did it. So glad I did! I was 255 the day I started my pre-op diet, I was 242 day of surgery, and today I am 229! I am so excited. I am on the full liquid diet until thursday, then I start the pureed diet. I am still hungry, I think. It may be all in my head though. I do fine when noone around me is eating, but as soon as I get around family and they are enjoying their meals I am like a mad person. I have cheated, one bite of a chicken leg, one bite of some cheese bread, and about 1/2 a teaspoon of peach cobbler - not all in one day. The chicken was the hardest on me, I felt it go down very slowly, felt nausous and swore I would never cheat again. Of course I did. Anyone else putting their lives on the line for just one bite? Why do we do this to ourselves? I beat myself up over it then drink my soup or protein shake. Anyone having issues with gas? I have never been a gassy person, but now it seems like I get gas just by drinking water. I can't wait to see where we are this time next year. Good luck everyone!
