Today is my first day on softball/pureed foods! So happy to have a scrambled egg for breakfast... three bites and I was full. Lunch was tuna salad and dinner will be my protein shake. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Congratulations! You got this! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

My surgeon used the first weigh in with him. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Im going back tomorrow... two weeks post op. I feel great... even went to the mall today [emoji4] HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Breathe! You're not alone. I'm certain most of us had some sort of reservations in the beginning. Ask yourself is it worth it to continue being unhealthy. If you're confident in your surgeon, share your concerns with him. He may be able to offer you some relief. Come on....you can do this!!! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Two weeks post op and decided to go shopping today. Habit had me automatically reach for the XXL/XL and both were too big!! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

I'm two weeks post op and still have three remaining. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

I apologize if this seems harsh. It seems like you keep trying to find reasons to cancel. First it was the coworkers intervention and now its nicotine. You have to make it up in your mind that this is the best decision for you... if it is, do what's necessary and make it happen. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Recipe????? HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Thanks for the encouragement! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

We've all been there. Breathe and relax... you'll do just fine. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Breathe! Make sure you have everything you'll need post op and for your hospital stay. Its normal to be excited and nervous, just take it one day at a time. You'll be joining us on the loser's bench soon. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Thanks! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

I was hoping to have lost at least 10 pounds but I'll gladly accept the eight! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Thank you! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

I start the next phase on tomorrow. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Thanks! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: 230 GW: 165

Today was my first post op appointment. My surgery was on April 25 and I'm feeling pretty good. My highest BMI was 41 and now its 37. My current weight is 230... which means eight pounds down since surgery. Overall I'm happy and can't wait to continue this journey. HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: ? GW: 165

Everyone post op have been where you are. I asked four of my friends to join me during this phase. Their job was too motivate, encourage and support me. Its hard to give up something you love and need, but trust me, the outcome is so much better. We are all here for you and will save you a seat on the loser's bench. Hang in there [emoji4] HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: ? GW: 165

Too funny! Its amazing how all I could think about was what I wanted to eat during the pre op phase! Hang in there girl, you're halfway there! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: ? GW: 165

Thanks! HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: ? GW: 165

I believe they sell the Premier shakes HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: ? GW: 165

The scale didn't move much for me during the liquid phase, but the morning of surgery when they weighed me, I lost 11 pounds! Don't let the scale discourage you...hang in there [emoji6] HW: 256 SW: 238(4/25/18) CW: ? GW: 165
