Awesome! Why’d-a-go! You tell’em! My dearest friend said “well I like myself so I’d never to that”!!! That was the day I realized I didn’t have a support system except for myself ... and I’ve gotten very strong inside. Two weeks Post-Op and altogether down 27 lbs. .. and going all the way ... why.. because “I love myself”!

Thanks Guru in training. Seems I lost a whole pound yesterday ... so maybe your right ... day two of puréed food!, have a great day and good eating.

Hi all today is my last day on 14 day Post-Op liquid diet. I don’t want to eat, I’m 25.8 lbs down and am consuming virtually nothing but protein shakes, water, tea and soup. I’ve also almost stopped loosing except for half lb ... I just don’t get it. I’m afraid my body thinks I’m starving and is holding on to my weight. I as feel kind of depressed. Does anyone else feel this way? oh yes, one other thing is that my husband (who was sleeved 2yrs ago) scrutinizes my every input! Grrrrrrr

How awesome of you. Thank you, I’m really hearing you and feel an awakening. Big news ... day 5 ... first bowel movement. .... it’s truly crazy the things that make me smile these days ... life is good.

April 3rd rny Oh how I wish people understood my need for this surgery. My oldest simply thinks his father and I are lazy!! Wouldn’t here of our struggle, htn, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease. It has only occurred to me this a.m. that “we” have to put our health and wealth ahead for ourselves and let others (family) grow up and take care of themselves. We’ve catered to the point our children are only consumed with themselves .... oops! Times up. Love them enough to let them go. As for my progress (husband had sleeve two yrs ago), I felt so hungry yesterday I wanted to make mashed potatoes and go crazy!! Of course I didn’t ... but boy howdy did I want to. My husband bought me premium pre-mixed protein shakes (vanilla) ... wowza ... horrible ... we’re going to try another brand and flavour today. ... 9 days to puréed food ... oh I’m down 21 pounds .... I kept checking and rechecking: before Optifast 228.2 .... four days post-op 204!! Have a great day all
