Praise God, I am finally tolerating more. I SUCK at measuring and counting calories...but I do still try my best to reach my daily Protein, even if I have to use a shake. It's amazing what happens in just a few short weeks. I went from struggling to getting 2 ozs in, to eating a small meal, just as they said I would get to. My plan included soft meats by week 4. That chewing slowing is key...but I've noticed each week, getting meals down has gotten easier and easier...even meats. Looking forward to getting all of my protein from meals!!! According to my packet of instructions, on this Tuesday at 6 weeks, I will hit maintenance. I'm still losing, but the big drop has moved to about 1-2 lbs a week, which is fine by me. That week 3-4 stall had me down, but glad to see the scale moving. Still so grateful to God for this opportunity to get right and fit after years of trying. This was definitely in His will for my life at this time! Congrats on .. You success.. No complications are always a blessing. How are you tolerated food etc? Keep in touch let us know how you are. We are here for everyone .. Blessings to you.

Love this thread!!! My eyes are weary, so I can't read through all of the posts but just a quick encouragement to hang in there and keep pressing! I'm one month post-op and so thankful for having an amazing recovery with zero problems. God is so faithful! Excited about my future in Him!

had my first sip of soup yesterday to ease into the stage 2...I felt 100 times stronger, lol. So glad that people are doing well around the same amount of time as i am--1 week post-op today. 1st appt. tomorrow!
