Congratulations!! Every milestone is a big deal and motivation to keep pushing.
Wishing you the best on your journey.

I like my crock pot slow cooker. I use it for my Soups and chili.

At one month out grill chicken and hamburger was not allowed. Even now at 2 months chicken is to dense on my stomach and always feel stuck. Deviled eggs is a good option.

Excited for you, surgery gives you a brand- New tool to use. AND it does WORK, this 73 year old has lost close to 125 pounds in less than 10 months with a Basal Metabolism Rate mimicking a Sick Sea Slug. Yes My Lovelies it can be done!

Congratulations!! Don't let others dictate what is good for your health. WLS takes courage.
Wishing you an easy surgery!!

The give me, chicken broth, Jello, yogurt and mashed potatoes. I was only able to eat maybe 2 spoonful of yogurt and a bit of the chicken broth. jello was way to sweet. I mainly sipped on Water and ice chipped.

Don't stress over it. Look on the bright side you are almost there. I did purchased Jello and Popsicle for post op and ended up not liking them because they were just to sweet. Glad my daughter ate the Popsicle, the jello was a different story. The gave me a jello while in in recovery and I wanted nothing to do with it. My daughter ended up eating some of the jello and took some to school for her friends. In the end I ended tossing the rest.
So just take in to consideration that your taste buds will change. To date 2 months out and I still hate everything that is sweet. I drink my Protein Shakes just to reach my Protein goals.
Wishing you the best!

Mine specified no red Jello.

@curlygirlgetsfitCongratultions on your journey, you are in good hands at Mt. Sinai. My surgeon was Dr.Dong and I cant say enough good things about he and his staff. If you are uptown, and you can please come to the class in June lots of information. They also have a FB group.
Wishing you the best.

I would have said, thank you for your input but my medical decision is made between me and my doctor and we both know what is best for me.

ahhh that bearded dragon is so cute. @SeattleLady for a minute I thought you posted a picture of my cats. I have 2 cats the same colors. The are now 2 years old.

Yes the heavier a person is the more drastic the weight loss is, aong with other factors. Men also tend to loose weight faster than women.
Remember if someone start of at say at 350lbs and you started off at 250lbs you may reach your goal weight first, providing you stick to the program. Another reason why we should not compare our weight lost with others.

I am sorry that your husband lost his job, remember behind every no there is a yes. You will get over the pureed stage and will be eating other variations of food very soon. Remember why you had the surgery done. Be strong for your family especially the kids. My kids always know when I am sad. Stay positive for them. Talk it out with a therapist, especially if you had emotional issues with food before the surgery.

It's normal, I had my surgery on the April 29th. Yesterday I was at 216 and today I am at 214 a total of 30 lbs since surgery and (46 lbs overall). My doctor and dietitian said my rate is above expectation. Don't compare yourself to others. There are times when I am at the same weight for couple of days and then I see a 2 lb drop on the scale.

We are our biggest critics. You will do fine especially that you are exercising. Currently I spin, work out on the elliptical and treadmill and was jut cleared weights. You will be successful continue to do what you are suppose to do. Don't pay no attention to those that loose an enormous amount of weight in one month. Your success is your very own and you are doing amazing so far.

I learned to not compare my weight loss rate to others. I know! Its hard to do! But this is your journey and you're doing fantastic!! Remember, another person losing a ton of weight fast may have started at a much higher weight than you. I had RNY on Nov 28, 2018 and was concerned that I was slowing down - 2 to 3 pounds per week. My nutritionist did a check on my muscle mass vs. fat and I'm retaining muscle which means I'm doing it right. You're doing great! Congrats!

It's normal, walk as often as you can to build back up some energy.
