Awa

I am on Prilosec and my dr. Said I should take it for 2-3 more months. I too had awful heartburn, especially when I went to bed. I hope I’ll be able to start tapering off in a couple of months.

Hi all, at my 6 week checkup on Friday, I had lost 43 lbs total and 22 since surgery. I’m free to add all food to my diet and to work up to 1/2 cup food at my 3 meals per day (half protein, half vegetables, including raw veggies!). I can have nuts too! I’ve had a tough time with ready made protein shakes, but I made a protein shake at home with spinach, banana, Fage yogurt, blueberries and vanilla protein powder and it was quite good. It is so good to feel almost normal :).

Awesome on the weight loss! I’m 3 or more weeks behind you, but now I can’t wait to go to Cheesecake Factory :). I know what you mean about being scared to branch out. I’d love to nibble on some raw carrot or some nuts! Hopefully I’ll be out of “mushy phase” at the end of this week. I’m not sure what will be allowed, but right now my favorite meal is chili!

Yay, I get to start mushy foods today! Breakfast was some scrambled egg with cheese :). Lunch will be 2 tablespoons of regrows beans with a little cheese. I’m supposed to have a protein shake between but I’m wondering if I’ll be able to drink a whole one. So glad to be done with the liquid post-op diet!

Well, the time has come - I’m about to head to the hospital to get sleeved. Best wishes for all 28thers!

November 28th for me! I look forward to all those things and flying without worrying the buckle will fit!
