I have stewed chicken going in my crock pot. I can wait to geyr home and try it :-)

Youre making me so hungry, lol.

I will have to order some.

Rmspencer, Eat it if you must must maybe just 3 bites and chew chew chew. Maybe just eating the cheese will satisfy your urge.

Athomas, awesome weight loss!

Rmspencer, I can assure you :-) the spare tire will be the last to go flat, lol. Our laugh for the day! That tire likes it right where it is, lol.

Rmspencer For me the shrinking feeling happen with my rings falling off or being too loose to wear them on the normal fingers. My shoes also seem loose. My abdominal area was very swollen and still is a bit. I did notice thst my dress lacks are looser in the thigh area.

Everyone In my first week post op, I made home chicken noodle soup and just strained it and had the broth. Three different times to be exact. I was so excited for something homey and satisfying. Well, the next day I had gained 2 pounds. I think it was the sodium. So be awhere of sodium. I just drank more fluids that day as well as my protein drinks and the weight came off. Im just saying this because it could and probably will happen to us all. Keep up the good work and stay strong and positive.

Susan, that sounds yummy, lol.

Everyone, I am definitely happy to be on the mushy diet but my doctor doesn't even want me eating potatoes or cream of wheat or any grains. He said to only eat the high protein for my three little meals. I would love a little baked sweet potato, lol. I will have some at the holidays!

Jen, good luck. I know you will be fine.

Hey, my ticker is working, lol! :-)

Hi Everyone, Im not a Facebook fan but will try it for the group contact. I had a long day at work today. I fell sore and exhausted. I was cleared for soft and mushies yesterday. I had 3/4 of a scrambled egg and felt stuffed, had 3 oz of tuna in oil because I dont care for mayo. It was great. I was surprised I could eat the 3 ounces.

Have a good night VSGlady.Rest well.

I added my ticker but it isnt showing . Back to the drawing board :-)

This an awesome group! :-)

Shmeyers, I guess that could be the next move but we can see what the others say.

Frienenn, im sorry about your dog. Hopefully he much better now. Full liquids is definitely better than clear.

Vsglady, we haven't lost one yet! Pull yourself together. :-) Seriously, im sure all will go well tomorrow. I will pray for you.

Steph, that's awesome.

Steph, ty. Im so happy to stop taking the blood pressure meds. I will be able to tell you more on how I feel later this week. How much did you lose the first week post op?

Hi Everyone, I just got back from my post op 2 week appointment which is the first appointment I've had after surgery. I only lost 10 pounds but the doctor says that's good for my beginning body weight and not to worry it's different for everybody so I won't be worried I know it wasn't cheating so it is what it is I'm going to be happy with the 10 pound loss.concerning the blood pressure issues they took me off my blood pressure medicine today. My beginning blood pressure was 144 over 88 and today it was 118 over 62.they told me it could be the blood pressure that was making me a little weak or dizzy because I seem to be well hydrated. I will have to monitor my blood pressure daily as I have been doing for the last two weeks.

Athomas, ty

How can I get the weight loss ribbon, anyone!

My blood pressure has been running about 120/63 for the last week. Maybe I should see my doc sooner. I will ask the surgeon this afternoon at my appointment.
