Mashed avocado if you’re allowed. Twinge of lemon juice in it. It was actually pretty good.

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

You got this!! Holler when on the other side

20171031_170400.jpg.lxc3f3f.partialThought I would post my first progress pics. The first and second photo in my underoos is from my highest weight of 242 lbs. The 3rd is a month after surgery at 225, and the 4th photo is from today, and the last one was from Halloween with my little guy. I am just over 2 months post op. I am 5'10 and my bmi right now is 27.

So glad you’re feeling Ok. Happy Halloween!

Day 7 Update (10/31/17) Happy Halloween!!
Had my first Post Op appointment with Surgeon yesterday..weighed in at 244! Down from 260, so that is 16 pounds lost. Nobody has really noticed, but that is ok. I am sure my mom will when she visits on Thanksgiving.
Doc has me on 3 Protein shakes a day for the next two weeks until my next appointment which is Nov 13th.
Feeling good, NOT hungry at all which is a nice change. Taking my water in one sip sip sip at a time.
So will post again soon.

Day 4 Update (10/27/17).feeling alot better. Walking around and getting my water down. Lost 5.3 pounds already.
Best of all? NOT hungry and NO craving battle to fight.

“Damn, I wish I had some of that!” or “Boggkk! Change the channel!”?

Home and settled in. Never knew how many damn food commercials there is on TV.

Got discharged today (10/25/17) at 12 noon. On water only until Saturday the 28th. Then start Protein on Sunday the 29th.

You know, I hate the fact that my gut reaction is "Oh, how much prettier you look with the weight gone." so I decided to really take a look at that feeling, that reaction.

It's wrong, first of all, you were just as "pretty" whatever that means before. What I guess I really want to convey is, you look happier. You look like you want to be seen more, you look extroverted as opposed to introverted. I get that just from your pictures. I don't know you. Also I am probably projecting some of my own feelings onto your pics.

All that aside, if you are happy, that's great. Your eyes shine like diamonds.

2 years 7 months after gastric bypass. From 258 down to 125 and size 24 down to size 3.

We made it! Next stop: The Losers Bench!! Whoo hoo!

@Killian Yay! We did it! I made 6 laps 30 minutes ago, it was my 3rd time out. Surgery was at 7:30am and I was in my room at 10:46am. Slight pain, but doing great. Great nursing staff here too at Rockford Mercy. NPO until tomorrow after the barium swallow test.

Woke up in bearable pain. Feels like I overdid it on sit ups..and that is not bad. Not having any trouble getting the water down. (Sip sip sip!)
Just went for my first walk around the Bariatric Ward and so far so good. Staff here at Bon Secors in Port Jervis, NY is amazing. No wonder they won an award!

You got this!! Holler when on the other side

Nice progress, congratulations!!
