Update: 3/13/19 wow it has been over a year since I posted?? I weighed myself this morning and it was 198. I finally made it to ONDERLAND!! ok, barely made it, but I'll take it. Had a bit of a set back. I gained weight over this past holiday season, but dusted off the books my Nut gave me and went right back to eating well and have lost the 17 pounds I gained. My last post surgery doc revealed that my sleeve grew by 50% and that is my fault. I am drinking and eating too fast. Gotta get to work on that. Sent from my SM-G892A using BariatricPal mobile app

Update: 12/13/17 Weight..219 I had my final post op follow up yesterday and was cleared to eat meats and "regular" food. But I think I'll stick to the fish, and puddings and jellos, and keep the steaks to a minimum. Doc said everything looked great and I am right on track. The next challenge is Christmas and New Year's Eve parties!

Update: 12/1/17: Weight: 220.. down from 260 for a total of 40 pounds lost. Thanksgiving was...interesting. I ate some turkey and stuffing and mash potatoes, but what was different was I ate very little of it and felt full much quicker. I feel as if I didn't miss out on anything. I had a tiny sliver of pie and could not even finish it.

11/13/17..Phase change from all liquid to puree. Yuck. Gross. How the hell am I gonna get through this? Puree is just...yuck. Luckily, I can have scrambled egg beaters, yogurt and smoothies. So gonna start making smoothies with my Ninja bullet and get through this stage. The good news is I am down another 5.5 pounds and weigh 229.9. Yeah I know- 230..but 229 sounds better. :-)

Update 11/11/17: Happy Veteran's Day to me. :-) We had a birthday party for one of my daughter's friends at our house. This is what was out and I had NONE of it. The sleeve prevented me from even craving the junk food! This surgery works.
