Today in 8weeks out from surgery and down 39 pounds. I was stalled for weeks 5,6, and 7. Then this week I lost 7 pounds. I was struggling to get even 30oz of Water. I had to change my routine this week was the first week I was able to get in my 64oz but it made all the difference.

The biggest issue with fried chicken is that it has a crazy amount of calories. Often has too much salt and is a gateway food to biscuits/slaw/other high calorie foods that are not gonna work unless you eat a microscopic amount of them.
Will it kill ya once in a while if you eat 200-300 calories worth and measure it out? Nah...
But it's not a great choice.
(that said...I'm stupid and once in a blue moon will stop at KFC. I get the following: )
130 calories Original recipe drumstick 12 g Protien
120 calories Mashed potatoes and gravy 3g Protein
25 calories Green Beans 1g Protein
For 275 calories and 16 grams of protein.......I can get the fried chicken demon out of my system without crashing my diet.
I don't cook it at home...cause then there would be fried chicken in my fridge and my fridge would become the portal to hell. LOL:)

I was weighting my self regularly until last week. I’m five weeks out and was losing a pound a day until last week once I switched to regular foods. I stalked. I was so frustrated so I started walking and using my elliptical waited a week and I lost 3 pounds. Also this week i can finally drink more Water. I’m now up to 48oz at least a day. I was definitely dehydrated I figured that was why I stalled. Hearing that others have gone though this helps a lot. I was worried.

I’m really struggling today I’m 7 days post op and today I feel weak tired I don’t want to drink or eat anything. I know I have but just not feeling great today.

I’m 6 days post op and had my 1 post op visit with the dr today. I’ve lost 7 pounds since surgery and I’m now approved for puréed food. It’s also the first day of feeling semi normal. I can get down Water now without and pain and my breathing is much better. Hearing about everyone’s journey has been so helpful.

Dec 20th here. I will start my liquid diet on Dec 6th. It will be rough considering I work in a restaurant. I’m surrounded by food all day.

First day of my liquid diet🥛

So man. What a day! Surgery went text book according to surgeon. I was on the table for 55min. He told me it was obvious that I had rocked the preop diet, as he could have likely done the surgery without a liver retractor.

I was in recover for about 2 hours because I kept going apneic on the pain meds, so they had to keep the doses low, which sucked.

Once I got back to the room, and got on my personal CPAP machine things progressed much better. I’m on icechips only until tomorrow morning. Let me tell yah. The dry mouth is no joke! I did 10 laps around the floor I’m on 1 hour after arriving to my room. Since then I’ve done between 8-15 laps every hour I was awake. (I slept for a few hours) All the people that told you walking is the only thing that helps gas pain? Listen to them!

I’ve attached a pic of my ugly mug after walking the floor for 15 laps.

Best wishes to everyone! I’ll update when They advance my diet.
