Wow. Great pic. Can really see a difference. Amazing.

Hello nuzzelbear. Welcome to the May thread. How is it going so far for you ? Are you on soft / purée foods or have you moved to regular food. The 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery was rough. Congrats on your surgery and here's to being a thinner you !

Weighed myself this morning , I am down 8 pounds this week. I only weigh once a week on Tuesday mornings. Feeling good. ????

I have my 6 week follow up appt with surgeon later today. Can't believe it's been 6 weeks already.
Feeling pretty good today. Still have the good and not so good days.
It continues to be a challenge to get Vitamins , Water , Protein and exercise all in each day. And being back to work adds to the challenge. Get busy and forget to eat and drink.
Never before , ever, would I forget to eat. Hahahaha. I can only get down very moist or wet foods. I made chili yesterday and it was wonderful.
Isn't it amazing just how small our portions are now compared to pre op.
I had many regrets after surgery those first few weeks. Now that I'm feeling better and getting into somewhat of a better routine , no regrets Although, this by far is one of the toughest things I've had to deal with or should I say manage.
That's my thoughts for today. It's helpful for me to just say it on here.
One more thing, my husband will not see this but I will be sure to tell him.... He has been so amazing though this entire process. Could not have done it without him.
Thanks again to all of my fellow bariatric pals out there. Your feedback and your own posts have helped me greatly. Continue being losers !! ????????❤️

Thanks for all the comments and support. Hope to keep this 50's + thread going. liquid diet begins this Tuesday. Yikes!! I am going to have to fight through that for 2 weeks.

How are things going ? Do you still have picc line? Was thinking of you and hoping you getting better.

Seems your on the mend.. Wishing you the best .. Hang in , I believe it does get easier .. Take care.

I weigh every Tuesday morning. I'm down 3.2 ponds this week.
Pounds*

I get my protein powders at GNC So happy for you that your stall is now in the past.

Hello all. Hoping everyone is doing well.
Just sharing a bit. Milk : fair life fat free has 13g Protein per cup and taste good.
I made a smoothie today
Half banana , half cup milk, 2 tbsp PB2 , half scoop unflavored Protein Powder and half cup ice. Blended and was delicious. About 160 calories and 20g protein.

Hi guys!!!
I took a little break from this site to just sort of focus on my diet plan and get a head start on my homework and of course, go back to work!
How is everyone?!

A quick fix?! I have to share what some simpleton thought I could do instead of bariatric surgery - liposuction! LIPOSUCTION! imagine, 100 lbs through liposuction, people are too stupid for words!

I can absolutely see the difference. It's amazing.

Thanks so much. I'm sure things will get better, just have to find a way to get through it. Tough but not impossible. So glad to I'm not the only one dealing with taste issues. It smells also for me , everything has a weird smell. Don't know what that's about !

Thanks so much. Your words of encouragement are much needed. I know things will get better.
I'm sure your right with it being water weight.
It's a journey , not an overnight fix.

Hello.... Just goes to show how different this journey is for all of us, I'm close to 4 weeks post op and am just now able to sleep on side. And as you said , really annoying.

Hi JennYes, for sure, scale can be just plain frustrating. I only weigh myself once a week. Body weight fluctuates too much day to day. More accurate weight if weigh weekly. Just sharing my thoughts and how I manage weighing myself.
I'm not looking forward to the stalls. And I'm sure there will be stalls. ????

Got it. Thanks. Have it now and it is very helpful.

Your really being put through the wringer to say the least. Hang in. Will be thinking of you and hoping for speedy recovery.
And yes , for sure , keep posting your progress.
