Not many people know what EoE is. My son has it and he is 15 and I had the gastro sleeve surgery this past November. If you want to message me, tell me your food restrictions. I do think you can meet your weight goal. But I may not know exactly what you are going through. But I do have plenty of knowledge of EoE and having the surgery. I hope you message me. Good luck.

I took 2 weeks off but that 3rd week at work was hard. Everyone is different and also depends on what you do. I sit behind a desk. But if you work in a job that requires hard labor or lifting heavy things, you are going to need a much longer healing time. Good Luck... ???? hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 341

Hello Pal Fam - i am excited on this Monday morning. Even though my children don't want to get out of bed for school, I didn't either it is a whopping -6° degrees out here in Chicago with who knows what the wind chill is. But I hit a milestone and I want to shout it out but nobody would understand but here. I lost 100lbs, starting in April at 444lbs scared the crap out of me and didn't think I could ever get away from 400lbs. Most I ever lost in my life was 9.6lbs and that is cuz what my son weighed when he was born. I have so much more to do but that person I dream about in my sleep (me being thin) doesn't seem that far of a fetch anymore. Happy Monday all, hoping you are in a warmer place than me. hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

Thank you all, I love you all on here. All gave some comforting words, love the pics of all pups. I prob gonna get a new pup, still have one too. She is sad too, lost her sleeping buddy and she seems confused. But thank u all. Everyone on here are to kind for taking time to share their stories and comforting words. hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

Well, if it's not normal then I'm crazy as a loon because every dog I've lost has left a hole in my heart and hurt like I lost my best friend. Bernie, Samson, Luke, and Mesa....my fur babies I've lost, ever loyal in my best and worst times. I am so sorry for your loss, but also so glad for you that you took a painful thing, recognized it for what it was and haven't just headed straight for food. As surely so many on this forum do, I totally understand your desire to turn to something to eat for comfort. Hang in there, cry it out if you need to, exercise it out, do something kind for yourself, or ask someone else to do something kind for you. Just remember to keep food in the category where it belongs, just fuel for the body, and work through what you're feeling in a healthier way. Like the saying goes, that which doesn't kill us, can only make us stronger.

Not sure how anyone these days xmcan own their own rigs and make it. Government makes it so hard with all the rules and regulations they put out there. But I am sorry. hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

Hi all, I am 16 days post-op. Doing okay, struggling with liquids and the mushy food, I am only going potty 1 or 2 times a day. And this bubble in my throat, any ideas to help that. I think that is my only complaint, I guess that isn't that bad at this point. But what mushy foods are you all eating that is good? But I am 6lbs from losing 100lbs, and that was mostly pre-op weight lose. Till more to go, glad to see all the pics everyone post. Really gives me some faith that I made the right decision. I am looking better. Wish all well wishes. But any help with that bubble in the throat would be greatful and mushy foods that are good. hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

I thank u all for your thoughts and kind words. I know venting here my crave for food, you all would understand. Food is my booze. Thank you all..???? hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

I never had a pet before, it is normal to be so upset over a dog?? hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

Venting to all that would understand me, I want to indulge in food (something good, not puree potatoes) and I can't. I had to put my first dog/down first pet ever down today, I loved him more days than I was mad at him. My bacon buddy, always gave him half a piece of what I was eating so I wouldn't eat the whole thing. Lightning is his name, 9 year old deaf great Dane. Putting him down was hard, never did that before. It was peaceful but tonight the house seems different. So many emotions and all I want to do is eat to comfort me. I know I can't. But to all that may understand what i am feeling and to all who read this to hear me vent. Thank u. hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363 ~ cw 351

I am 11 days post op, getting ready to go back to work. I have searched online and found meal planners, but wanting to honestly see people post op who have just started puree foods, what or how they eat all day. I would greatly appreciate it. hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363

Pain is no where what u think it will be, promise. When is the surgery? hw - 444 ~ surgery date 11/23 ~ sw - 363
