Is anyone going to support groups?

All I know is I'll never eat jello or drink chicken broth again.. lol

Sorry about typos. Fat fingers and small phone..lol

Hey everyone, I'm on soft foods, tilapia,tuna salad,scrambled eggs, humus,bean dip, etc.. Still doing at least one Protein shake a day for protien, I found primere protien shakes @@sam's that have 30g 160 calories and very few carbs. $15 for 12 shakes. I've also been utilizing the P3 protien packs, grilled chicken variety. Walmart has a coupon currently that makes them only $1. They are 11g protien and 110 calories, the fill me up and are tasty.

Sorry to butt in sleevnv... I have done those and humus and boiled tilapia mashed up..

Congrats!! I know what u mean. Funny too my shirts are getting longer..lol I asked my Dr about "stalls" and he said the only stalls that come your first year are by people weighing themselves too much.. he did say that at about 12-16 months our bodies will recalibrate and the weight at that time will become our new set point.. take it for what it's worth...

Ktprimo... I think it's odd that people already have judgements on how things are going to be.. hell we just started this process I'm still over 300 pounds.. I feel better and weight is pouring off me but my friends are my friends.. if they don't like the new me then to hell with them. This has everything to do with my long term health and being around for my family.. plus most of my friends are fit and support me 100%.. as for the heavy friends, I'm hoping to be an inspiration and I personally didn't tell them about my surgery.. I want them to see the results and hopefully they will consider it.. Just be yourself, it took courage to do what we did and if you find confidence and improved health than hooray!

SW...353 CW...315 Two weeks post op today.

Welcome katgio52.... everyone questions it right after surgery. Hell I even broke down once and I'm not an emotional person.. I'm two weeks out tomorrow and I can honestly say I never thought I would have felt this good just 13 days after.. I feel better than normal, because my normal sucked.. Ktprimo congrats on the swimming and you gave perfect advise.. I'll find out Thursday when I do my 2 weeks checkup. Really 16 days but the only one counting is me because I want beans and eggs..lol

That's huge! Congrats.. the little victories. .

Thx!

I would but I don't want to inconvenience my wife and two boys.. I'm stubborn. My issue is my issue.. sometimes it sucks being Irish.. lol

That's an awesome story.. I feel ur pain.i woke up this morning to a house infused with freshly cooked bacon.. I thought to myself are u kidding me? I had to go outside. Some smells are just too much right now. Especially knowing that I still have three more weeks before I can have soft foods. 6 weeks total of liquids and purees when it's all said and done.. for some reason I didn't realize it would be this long. ..lol

I love NOLA.. enjoy the show. I saw him years ago in San Antonio.. he did 6 straight shows at the Alamodome.. it was awesome

I have a little discomfort when I bend forward to pick up something but that's about it.

I haven't lost any weight in 3 days.. uhg

Nice.. it gets so much better

Is everyone ok? Progressing?

Refried beans

I'm 7 days out and other than just a little soreness from my big incision area, I'm great. I had actually forgot about the sleeve twice yesterday when I tried to chug water.. your will recover exponentially over the first week.. it's unreal. The body is amazing at healing, I feel guilty for what I have put mine through for so long. Plus the weight is peeling off.. steadily. ...

Greek or any?

True that

Bnm4... crazy but I've never been on a cruise but all I hear is about the buffets. .lol

I agree with feeling bloated.. I did take a pack of Ramen and cooked it then drank the juice.. something different.

Nothing like propel water and jello to celebrate the 4th..
