I took 2 weeks but should have taken 3.

Bronx, NY

I don’t know what I’ve done, rest, shop online, read, organize and pick up after the kids.... but I’m really scared to go back to work on Monday.

I'm not looking forward to.... "You lost so much weight. You look sooooo good!" Not sure if anyone will actually say that but I’m anticipating it because I hear people say to others and I don’t really like what it means.

I made a black bean puréed soup. YUM! Then next meal was puréed hard boiled egg with either low fat mayo or Greek yogurt. That’s where I am right now. Love hearing the other options thanks everyone!

I went in to surgery at 242.5lb and one day after surgery I was 249.1lb. 8 days later I am 229.5lbs. It took a few days and quite frankly a bowel movement to see the scale move.

I am 8 days post op (bypass) - Day 2 of puréed foods, and I’m finding it difficult to follow the breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner sample menu provided. For example, I prefer a shake in the morning for breakfast, but then I am not hungry again for “snack” or “lunch” and here we are at 4pm and I’m ready to eat breakfast. Now I tried to eat “breakfast” at about 1pm but could not get it all down. Only a couple of bites. Any advice?

What do you do with the medical card?

I’m on day 7 too. Bypass. I’m having trouble getting in all the fluid and protein. Going to have a popsicle now.

Congratulations! What are you doing for protein each day?

In the hospital they gave me OxyContin and something in my IV and Tylenol. They didn’t want to give it... they made me feel like an addict. But I insisted. They sent me home with Oxy and Tylenol Rx and I crush those pills. I take them as I need them, which is very often.

I'm going June 11 too
