I like the lotion idea. I got some good smelling stuff for Christmas from Bath and Body- it’s called Hello Beautiful. Uplifting and smells good- yes please!

Avocado BLT
Avocado, turkey bacon, lettuce and tomato- dash of salt and drizzle of ranch-
They made them in the actually avocado cup but I put in a bowl cause I can only eat 1.5oz. Sometimes only 1oz depends on the day. The actual recipe pic and then my modified bariatric version lol

Woo hoo, Sarah! Gotta love that. My husband and my best friend have noticed, but people I didn't tell about the surgery don't seem to notice anything yet. My niece keeps looking at me and making comments about how good I look, comments on my blouse, my pants, etc., but I don't think it's dawned on her yet that I've lost weight. I didn't tell her because she's such a big mouth and thinks she has to post every little thing on FB.

Umm my husband has been my biggest “noticer” I can’t keep him off me. It’s so great! We are loving just the freshness in our home. And we are having fun with my two bite maximum lol he even teases me lol it’s super fun! :) my best friend that know about the surgery was shocked at our lunch date at the change.
My surgeon told me. We will lose lbs on the scale then our body will change dramatically through our stalls. So that’s why it’s important to check inches. Through my stall I lost my 10inches!!! But no weight! It was astonishing. Because my stall kind of messed with my head. I was expecting it. I was prepared for it. But at the end of the week I just felt so down.

So far so good! I made it a huge point to hydrate the crap outta myself and feel good energy wise. I carry around one of those Gatorade squirt bottles and it's made a HUGE difference in getting in my fluids. It seems stupid but when you have to open your water bottle every 35 seconds to take a sip it comes to pain in the ass when you're out and about. But if you have the square bottle I just took it out and would take little squirts all throughout the day. I also had a p3 pack with turkey and cheddar (husband ate the nuts) in the car ride so I'd have energy to walk the museum - hit 10k steps today already.

Kids wanted rainforest Cafe for lunch so this was my first time eating out since surgery and still on soft foods. They had an ahi poke tower on the app menu which was ahi, avocado Tomato with wonton chips and a small salad. I ate the avocado and ahi and it was perfect! Probably around 3 ounces total and I felt full but not overly so.

Tomorrow is Medieval times and I'm sure my husband will be eating most of my meal haha but if I remember correctly they do have Soup so I'll have something. I also have been carrying around those Justin's nut butter packets so I always have access to Protein if I need it.

40 lbs gone!!! You go, girl! 👍

40# down this morning!! 17# since surgery 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I love this tool.

I week out from RNY. Two weeks of liquid diet and Keto found my ankles but one week after surgery gave me an even bigger blessing!!!

I haven been able to wear this comfortably in about two years. Now I’m scared to wear the dern thing because I’m so used to the silicone bands I’m afraid I’ll ruin it! At least it fits!!!

Yaya you! I lost 14 since surgery and then hiy the dreaded 6 week stall! Not worried, just plugging away.

Today we leave for 2 days to Chicago (driving distance) with the kids. I packed an entire lunch box of foods for myself but this is gonna be a true test of my energy hahaha !

Welcome. I had VSG surgery on Jan. 27th too! I just started purees Friday and so far, so good. I've had scrambled egg, refried Beans with mashed avocado, broccoli cheese Soup, and pureed sweet potato with Protein Powder. For the last two days I've had a green smoothie with Protein powder and I really think that's helped my energy.
I've lost 19 pounds so far, but I know the stall is coming....I think everyone experiences it around weeks 3-5.

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to the forum and this is my first reply to a thread. I had VSG surgery January 27th, so I'm almost 3 weeks out. Physically I feel fine, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't missing food a lot!
I moved to pureed diet last Monday after 4 weeks all liquid and that first egg I ate was the best thing ever. Today I tried an egg with a runny yolk and thankfully it went down smoothly.
I did throw up for the first time last week when I ate a small piece of salmon, I think I ate it too fast, so I've definitely been a bit gun shy. Sounds like you guys are really brave with your diets, I'm scared to try all these new foods.
I also think I've hit my stall early, I only lost 2lbs last week which was really discouraging. But for now I'm focused on getting in my fluids and Protein Shake (premier protein), and getting food in around that, but between fluids and all the damn supplements I find I'm not hungry all too often.
I'm following now, can't wait to see how everyone is doing!

Way to go! Eating out sounds scary to me right now, but you did great.

Y’all!! Someone posted the Ricotta Bake recipe on the other thread and OMG. It. Is. Heaven.
I served it over spaghetti noodles for my 10 year old and she LOVES it. This will now be in our rotation!!!

So does my mom! She is a CRA.... since she works from home she stayed with me for two weeks....

Hi!!
I have been MIA. Super busy.
I found a cool doctor on YouTube. Don’t agree with some things but like his info.

Breakfast this morning. Another cheese omelette with a little diced spam lite in it. I am using egg beaters smart cups which are single servings. It looks big because that is a 6 inch salad plate I am using. Took me 25 minutes, but I was able to finish it.

Feeling like there was lump of clay in your chest/stomach sounds terrible. I was a "scarfer" too, so I'll really have to be mindful. Did you throw up, or did it eventually go down?

Three days! 😳 I don't care if you do work from home, that's awesome that you were able to get back in the groove so quickly.

IDK.... I feel like I’ve hit that stall people keep talking about but who knows.

The supplements aren’t so bad, I just forget to take the Calcium with meals. Trying to get better.... oh and I’ve added Biotin on my own.... my hair had always been one of my favorite attributes so I want to do what I can to keep it! Lol.

Sooo I started this topic then disappeared... sorry about that!! Going back to work was NO JOKE. I was fine eating soft foods, being at home, yadda yadda... but then going back to work threw me for a loop! I was EXHAUSTED. I teach middle school art so I was hugged on and loved on allllll daaayyy long... finally I told my admin I had to get back to the kids.... lol. But for real, I didn’t get a lot done that day because I was catching up from the past two weeks.

I’m staying on plan, which is good, but I’m having a harder time getting liquids in because of going back to work. I can’t take two or three gulps like I used too, so now I, sipping small sips all day and still don’t finish my tee is full of crystal light. *le sigh* I’m getting there though.

Another hard thing is supplements. I briefly scrolled through the feed and saw y’all were talking about that- my doctor has a strict supplement policy. There are three different options, and I chose the one my insurance pays for. I have to take 3 Calcium chewables a day, 3 irons at bedtime and two multivitamins at bed as well. Also, it includes a B12 nasal spray that I use once a week. It’s called nascobal, and PTL my insurance pays for it because I have a feeling it would be expensive otherwise. After a year of so, I will go on two flints one chewables a day. Yikes. Prob an Iron supplement too because I’ve always been slightly anemic.

Anyway, hope y’all are well.... sorry to drop off like that but y’all! I was a ZOMBIE!! Xoxo xoxo
