I had leftovers and forgot my stomach thinks it needs more than 2 hours to process meat. I ate a Thats it fruit bar. Sad to say, it was to much. I threw it up. I think I am doing pretty good. Only threw up 4 times in 7 weeks. I am losing 3-4 pds a week.

That sounds great. I made it under 300. It was great. I know the feeling. Going out is different. Cannot even eat a children’s meal. Lol

My weight loss is 3-4 pounds a week like clockwork. However this week was about 2 pds. Assuming that I am loosing inches. Went from size 46 down to 42 in pants. Those are getting loose on me. Starting my weight loss at 339. I am down to 293. Surgery was on February 18th

The left side is where your stomach is. There was lots done there

Hey Dub. Don’t want any trouble here so please don’t take it wrong. I just know If I weighed myself everyday I would give myself a complex. Different strokes for different folks. No biggy. Keep up the great work

Don’t weigh yourself everyday

You can look at it that way. But what if you do not lose the weight. It could lead to heart attack or other health issues if we continued going down the same road. I do agree that it is a huge change mentally and physically. I am 40 years old. We have eaten one way for so long and now we have to do it another way.

Things are going well. Losing 3-4 pounds a week

Just share enough

Has anyone recognized their temperament has changed. I tend t be bothered easier or might make a snappy comment. I cannot say that I miss food that much, but if feels like the adjustment from 40 years of eating can be challenging.

Med28thmed. I am doing fairly well. I have been back to work for two weeks now. I just moved from purées to moist meats and an egg. All of my incisions have healed but one. I am down down 19 since surgery. I ordered a food scale to weigh the meat. My eyes cannot completely estimate how much is there.

I just ordered a food scale to help prevent over eating. My eyes are way bigger than my stomach. I felt so bad because I ate a bit to much. I am learning that when I start to burp a little that I should probably stop. Recidivist you should try ricotta bake. Its yummy. This last week I dropped 4.5 pounds. I think I will continue do protein drink each day.

Emz, last night was the first night I had a problem with this. I am still trying to get used my signs of when my stomach is full. I accidentally over ate and I got some foamy and spit up the applesauce I ate with it

I took gasx. Then once my gas disappeared I was able to take in what I was supposed to

Glad you are doing better recidivist

There is all of the fluids they put into your iv. You will see that weight come down over the next several days

Recidivist. Yes it has. Good luck with surgery

Back to work tomorrow for me. Let’s see how this goes. Looking forward to this, but a little anxious

Has anyone else’s surgeon sent samples taken during surgery to pathology. I was unaware they were going to do this. Just wondering if it is normal

Agreed

Got none gas

Gottajustdoit. This makes me so happy to have something beyond protein drinks. I purée Wendy’s Chili. With a couple saltines crackers

I can have anything in yellow right now. Lots of other stuff on 2/28

Up to purées now. Saltine crackers

I was feeling bloated and could not take in that much. I took some Gas-x and that started to help and my intake of protein and water doubled. Each person is different
