So great to see all of this July surgery success! I’ll be 8 weeks post op on Tuesday. Down 42lbs since surgery and 63lbs total. I’ve hit a couple weight stalls along the way and currently in the longest one.

But... my peloton bike arrived last week and it’s awesome. The work outs are already going to the next level! Goal weight is 42 more lbs away. Keep it up everyone!

Good explanation. Thanks for sending that.

Watch this video as a great reminder of why not to mix liquids and food!

Hey everyone! I start the mushy food stage next Tuesday and also the no Water before, during and after food (30-30-30 rule). This seems like a lot to remember since I’m so used to having liquids right now. Anyone have challenges with this? Figured I would ask before I got started.

Thanks!

So awesome that you are doing so well! I’m day 8 post op and having a very similar experience. Only thing holding me back is the sutures healing and some abdominal muscle soreness. Just curious, have you cheated on anything full liquid or mushy yet? My doc has me on Clear Liquids until day 14 but I’m actually starting to get hungry. A cream Soup or a pudding just sounds so good I feel like my stomach can handle it but I’m a rule follower. Hope all is well!!

I'd go for the filet mignon w/ veggies instead of the potato. Chew it really well so it doesn't try to come back up! LOL!!

Thank you! I called today and they said the same thing. Doc said I can inject anywhere as long as I can pinch an inch.

Those blood thinner shots can cause some bad bruising if you do them too fast. Call your doctor and ask if you're able to inject them anywhere else.

Are the pain meds helping? I have my surgery tomorrow!
