First Week DONE! Tomorrow will be Day 1 of my 2nd Week, had my first week checkup today as well, and everything is going GREAT. I have already lost 12 pounds!! Whoa!!!! I'm graduating to smoothies, thicker liquids but pretty much staying to my plan. I have to step up on my exercise, so now I’ll be doing my 30 minute cardio at a tolerable pace, aka WALKING! Starting Weight: 249lbs Surgery Weight: 238lbs Current Weight: 228lbs

Hey gang!!! Day 5 post-op. I am a little sore and tired from all the traveling I had to do to get home but other than that....I feel GREAT!!! Im down 9 lbs since surgery and have felt like walking 3-5000 steps a day since Friday. Doctor told me to take it easy for the first 2 weeks

Do you ever start to think how much you weigh and you think 175, no, 155, no wait... 145!!! I guess my brain can't wrap itself around a number in the 140's!!!

4th day post op and feeling great! Down 15 lbs!

today is my 1 week post-op mark.... i can't believe i've already made it this far. Last night i tried some cottage cheese and it was tough but i don't think i chewed it enough, today i did really well with greek yogurt and i'm able to explore with my purees now. Any tasty ideas that work well for others during the puree stage, please share and i'll do my best to try all the suggestions

Very irritated that I'm not losing weight even though I work out at the gym 3x a week.'

Gastric emptying study on Monday, then when I get home I will have a fun-filled afternoon on the toilet after taking magnesium citrate to clean me out. TMI? LOL

hey everyone! just wanted to let ya'll know that i'm home from my sleeve, resting...gettiing my fluids in and am about to unjury chicken soup protein. My doc said over the next few days just to try and focus on water because dehydration during this time period is likely to occur and he doesn't want me bloated on protein and not taking in water. Boiy, my experience was different than i thought. I woke up from surgery with a great deal of pain on my lieft side but as soon as i told my nurse it was controlled. The doctor said my case was difficult because my liver didn't shrink as much as expected leaving him not much room to get around in my belly. I did have a drain placed to help rid excess fluid out my abdomen, which was removed this morning before i came home... I made it home in time to go to my sons football game and i was ok there. I'm feeling just tired and a little weak but everyday is getting better and hopefully will continue to..... talk to everyone soon!

Less than a week away now.....went and got my cashier's check this morning.......so now I know it's really real and it's going to happen!!!

My stall has finally broken and I'm finally under 300lbs! This morning I weighed in at 297. I'm too excited.

start clear liquids tomorrow and wait on the phone call saying what time i have to be there for surgery on thursday... getting anxious!

down 2 more lbs.- that's 11 gone on the pre-op diet. 8 days and a wake til "the day"!!!

Had to buy my robe for the hospital online because the store doesn't have the bigger sizes. I will be so happy when that's no longer an issue!

day 4 of pre-op liquids, feeling good. Not really hungry but i've tried to stay away from food and the sight of food because my head hunger is trying to mess with me. Three more days then one day all clear liquids and it's all over
