That's awesome!! I just love the whole office. You should join us for 2nd Saturday sweat and 4th Saturday circuit!! Dr Shay was there today!!

NSV For me!!! I got on a plane and the seat belt fit and I could pull it about 6" extra room!!! Oh and the tray didn't touch my body anywhere!!! Small victory but I'll take it!!!

Count me in!!

That's incredible!!! I was hoping to get there but I'm kind of at a stall already!!!

I haven't forgotten just struggling on how to even figure it out.

I was also sleeved 9/23. I was clear liquids for a week after and literally thought I might be dying a slow death. When I called my surgeon they moved me to full liquid a day early and I felt so much better. Now I am on puréed or soft food and trust me you will feel full!!! Hang in there!!

Okay I do have a big bag of unflavored protein powder I just haven't been adding it. I guess I will start!

I only add unflavored protein if I'm eating something like pudding or canned soup, but I'm passed that stage really. I cook real protein and blend instead.

Ok I guess I'm just MFP inept!! I'll have to practice more ha ha thanks everyone.

I'm in the puréed or soft food stage. I eat about 1/3 maybe even 1/4 a serving. How do I even keep track of what I'm eating or does it matter so much at this stage??

It went really well. I have lost 28 lbs since one week before my surgery!!!! Dr said I am doing great and I can return to all normal activities now. My mission now is to go to the gym every day starting Monday!!

I'm doing much better. More protein and liquids every day!! Had first follow up post up with dr and I've lost 28 lbs since my last appt before surgery which was a week before surgery. I can start going to the gym and swimming so I may hit the treadmill tomorrow.

I was 9/23 so a week and a day ago!!

Tomorrow is my post op appt with my surgeon!! I'm excited to see what their scale says, mine says down 14 lbs since surgery. I'm feeling so much better since moving to full liquids. Today I made homemade cream of cauliflower soup. It's so good even if I can only eat 2 ounces ????????

Trying buying GasX strips. They helped me and recommended when they called to see how I was doing day 3.

Wow!! One red hot lady!! You look amazing!! I can't wait to be in your shoes!! 6 days post op here.

Dr Moses Sheih Ft Myers, Fl. Love him and his staff!!

Called the surgeon this morning and they said drink more (DUH) and also start some cream soups or yogurt. Wow!!! What a difference 2oz of broccoli cheese soup can do!! I feel like a new woman. Also just had 2 oz protein shake and well, Nap time. Hope everyone is still doing well.

I'm clear liquids until Tuesday then I go to full liquids. Maybe tomorrow I will try another syntax nectar. And stir some Benefiber in it.

I was sleeved 9/23 and I also had a hernia repair. Is anyone having fluid intake problems. I'm calling the dr tomorrow because I try to drink plenty but I'm also competing with diarrhea and I'm feel good in the morning, take a shower and completely exhausted. Or don't shower, work in the kitchen cooking and then BAM!! I'm done for the day.

Hi I'm Jamey. 45 yro mother of two daughters 24 and 21. I'd say my weight issues started in college. My freshman 15 was 30. I married young and it was an abusive relationship, I lost some weight remarried and became a widow at 29. Goodbye normal body forever!! I'm now married to the love of my life and my girls are both going to be married in the next year or two. My highest weight was 325 (hysterectomy and hypo thyroid helped NOT) but by the day of my surgery which was just Tuesday 9/23 I was down to 289. My goal now is 165 but I'll maybe change that when I get to that point. Nice to meet you all.

I know but the nurse told me it was a true story. I'm kind of in pain right now just from 1/4 c of jello.

I know!!!!! I'm just trying to drink fluids!!
