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 1/24/18.. Weight: 210 I am down 50 pounds! I am almost out of the "Obese" category!

Lookin' good! (and you do too Jersey Jules lol)

Dr. Kwon is very mild mannered, matter of fact kind of guy. He is awesome and my surgery went very well.

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.

Excellent advice! Will give that a shot tomorrow! Thank you!!

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.

Didnt know that cold cuts were bad! Will def stay away from them. And wont have trouble staying away from crap. Thanks for the advice!

Yes, my Bariatrics office has 2 in house full time Nutritionists. They see you for a year (or more if you like) post surgery. They teach you what to eat, how to eat, have recipies / suggestions..very happy with them.

Update Day 14 (11/8/17)..lost 3.5 pounds since yesterday! Wow. Down to 234 from 260 total loss of 26 pounds!

All excellent points. Ok, I'll take some credit! Lol
