You got this! Be like the little engine that could, instead of "I think I can, I think I can!" Say, "I know I can, I know I can! Finally you will be saying, "I did, I did, I did!" 4 days to go!

Woohooo!

Hello 👋🏼
so my revision surgery was on October 16/19 the night before surgery I weighed around 237lbs... almost a month out I’m 222... total loss of 15lbs... Haven’t lost anything in almost a week and I’m getting discouraged. I was told after 4 weeks I can start eating soft foods... do you guys have any recommendations? I’ve honestly been eating eggs 🥚 after I reached my 3rd week... I know I shouldn’t have but I got so tired of broth and Protein Shakes. I can eat 2 scrambled eggs in one day... I know that’s not much but that’s what I’ve been eating so far. I’m scared to eat mashed potatoes bc I loveeeeeee potatoes!!!! Lol ... any food ideas would be great... I get to see my nut in a week but for now I’ll take you guys suggestions

thank you!

I am on schedule for December 30th. Getting nervous!

Omgoodness, just got call my insurance is approved! Surgery date 12/10/19! One day turn around! Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

Day 6 and I have me my docs 5lb weight goal, plus more. can i eat? lol joking.....still not bad. I thought the weekend would be tough but so long as I am busy I am good.

2. Herb Ox bouillon cubes
3. Clear broth soup/bone broth (once a day)
4. SF Popsicle
5 SF Gelatin
6. Mi0

Hello Loridee11, yes me too! But I am scheduled for 2 extra nutrition appts guessing in case I had to reschedule. My surgery has been set for December 30th. Now I was approved for lapband removal and had done in July. Not sure if I have to get approved for 2nd surgery for RNY or if it goes with the removal surgery? But, I have a date set for December 30th. I have already given them my FMLA paperwork. Bought trial box of Protein Shakes and received a shaker bottle, will buy required Vitamins and Protein on next visit in Nov., soooo im just waiting and waiting and getting nervous! I do already have my suitcase packed for the event!
