Yep a difference. Could the one on the right be Tyson and son? A very cute little dude!

2 months out and 40 lbs down. I am starting to see a slight visible difference. My clothes are definitely starting to fit better.

This is the system that I have.

I have used my ninja to make a couple of puréed foods. I have the food processor attachment and have used it for bean purée and have also made applesauce and carrot purée. It works well for making a chicken pate as well When I made a 3 week out version of chicken salad. So yes, a ninja will work for you.

You could ask your physician to request lab work to be done and do a full panel. You may be deficient in some key Vitamins.

That sounded like a horrible experience! I’m glad that you are feeling better @MsTipps.

I had 2 food funerals before I started my preop diet. I had a dominoes pepperoni pizza with cheese stuffed crust and garlic and herb dip. The next night I had a rare steak in blue cheese sauce with seasonal veg, mashed potato with butter and onion rings followed by crème brulee with shortbread biscuit. I absolutely don't regret it. I enjoyed every mouthful and I know I will not be able to have these things again - certainly not in the quantities or the fat/sugar levels I had before.

Has anybody else gotten lightheaded easier after surgery? I’m 25 days post-op and have noticed that I get lightheaded a lot easier if I stand up quickly or from a squatting position.

Yes I have had dizzy spells too. I can tell you now at just over 3 months post-op it is slowly dissipating.

The young women are not creepy about it, just blunt and forward. The women my age or older make me very uncomfortable. A confident woman is sexy, a woman who looks at you like a predator looks at prey? Uncomfortable. I've had my wife or kids come save me when a woman in the neighborhood comes around.

That’s awesome brother. Keep up the hard work. I’m actually in Law Enforcement. I’m an 18 year veteran with the Sheriff’s Office. I’ve been a volunteer for 25 years. I was out of work for 7 weeks.

Congratulations! I’m just now starting out ,17 days post-op. Started out at 369, surgery day I was 340 and today I am 317. It’s exciting seeing the clothes sizes change.
change of subject... I’m assuming you are a firefighter, when we’re you able to resume your job duties? I am volunteer and was curious to see how long I can expect to being out of service.

I think i’m down a cup size, but i’m a guy.... will be happy when the moobs go!

We are told to have three meals and three snacks....and it should all balance out to 1000-1200 calories per day and 60-80grams of Protein.
So, six times a day, I eat about 150-200 calories.
I'm never hungry...it's a lot of food:)
As our stomachs stretch a bit and can tolerate a larger meal months down the road, we'll decrease Snacks to 100 calories, and up meals to 300 calories.
Eventually, we may eliminate snacks.

Do you snack in between meals? Do you have 4-5 small meals throughout the day? Or, do you just have 3 meals a day?

Tyson Mahalo for the info.

I had Thrush on my tongue, which is pretty common after a surgery. This is pretty much a yeast infection on your tongue. My PCP prescribed oral Nystatin to swish and spit (can be swallowed). You may want to ask for a second opinion.

I have always been a big dude all my life. I have also always been the dude that works outside and never wore a jacket until it got below 40 degrees and was always hot even when the AC was spitting out popsicles. I am now 13 days post-op (down 20lbs btw) and have found myself to be unusually cold these past few days. My wife always complains of being cold when I was either comfortable or feeling a little to warm. Now she is looking at me like I am going crazy and turning into a weenie. A few of my compadres experienced being more sensitive to temperature, but this was after they had considerable weight loss. Has anybody else experienced a reversal in their temperature tolerances this early in the game?
