I had my surgery 12/14/17 and my non scale victory is: I'm down a shirt size, I can now shave my legs, I can but my arms around my back and touch my fingers, my face in thinner and I am starting to have a lap. A little disappointed that I haven't lost size in my pants. 🤔

Probably right, if one thing is for sure, I am horrible in math, lol

So Tuesday I go back to work since surgery 12/14. I am looking at the suggested eating pureed foods. I am a Parent Educator and drive to families homes all day. And now I am struggling with an example, the eggs I fix and wait 30 minutes before eating the second portion but they are cold. I can reheat at home but work, will be harder to reheat the foods, any ideas and food to suggest

I felt the same way at Christmas, all my favorite foods were out and I couldn't touch it. Watching everyone else eat was hard. But I ate Jello and just talked and spent time with my family. They are all very supportive. It was also first time weighing since surgery 12/14/17 and I have lost total 28lbs including the 15 before, so was excited. That helped a lot. When planning your food, add something you can have.

My mom paid for mine as well, I had to sign a contract with her, that if this fails, I have to pay it all back as well. But I feel the same way. Sleeved 12/14/17. I lost 15 lbs before surgery. But have only lost 18 lbs so far, I feel like I am failing as well. I have been walking on treadmill but only doing 75 kilometers. So I have picked it up and last night walked for 15 min and 230 kilometers.

18 lbs in two weeks is a phenomenal rate of loss. Most of us lose 15-25 lbs in the entire first month. You are going to end up on the higher end of that range, if not over. You may be basing your expectations on what you see on shows like "My 600 lb Life". Yes, those people do drop a ton of weight the first month or two, but don't forget, they are starting out at 600+ lbs. For those of us more "normal" obese people, that much of a weight loss isn't at all common.. You will undoubtedly see a few of us who drop 30 lbs the first month, but they are outliers. Your weight loss is right on target - in fact, it's above average.

P.S. I *only* lost 16 lbs the first month (and that's in a month - not two weeks), and I lost over 200 lbs. Your commitment to your program is what makes the difference - not your rate of weight loss. But again, yours is absolutely fine.

SF popsicle... liquid diet too!

Crystal light...lol...damn post-op liquid diet!

Nope. You didn't hurt anything. Next time you want to try foods, stick with the next foods on your list. Try a little oatmeal or yogurt....leave the pecans for a while down the road:)
