I celebrate my two month fromsurgery date on Valentine day and from my home I have lost 34 lbs. (this included one week liquid diet from dec 7th) I took picture of myself and put it in my scrapbook and compare my picture from 2 months ago. It was nicest valentine gift to myself.
I didn't have any problem with oatmeal during my mushies stages. At first, I blended the oatmeal (w/magic bullet) then I cook it with either water or skim milk. It is much more smoother. Now since I have pass the mushies stage, I do not blended it beforehead and cook it as it is. I had expeirmented it with frozen blueberries and then thaw it out and added splenda to cooked oatmeal. It's delicious! I buy frozen blueberries (no sugar added) and use a few at a top.
I just bought the book "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies" and found it very resourceful, perhap this book will help you decided if you want to make lifetime committment to better you and health.

Hey, I think you are doing great! Each of us have different ways of losing weight. As for me, in the last two weeks there was no changes at all even I was very strict with myself on this diet and then all the sudden this week, it starting to drop off.
