Hell yes! Amazing job!

Real food is so good! Im experiencing some soreness with new foods as well. But other are easy to eat. I’ve lost 45 lbs now! Can’t believe it. Energy is better. I’m managing to get through my day. Work is sometimes physical for me. I don’t know about anyone else but I miss the Pub! We are going Into increased restrictions for covid and they are closing which made me sad to know I wasn’t having a last beer before they close:(. Anyone have a go to sipping drink in a social setting?

I hit my first stall for weight. The foot is ok. Not great but not flaring up. My stomach is sore on my right side for some reason. I assume it’s the new foods. I’m going in week 2 of soft foods. I’m eating ok. Have to chew well. Hope your stomachs settle!

So I just had my one month a few days ago. I doing ok. Getting use to the new normal. Things really change lol. My wife says she can feel where my stomach was and is now missing. Crazy! I’m down 42 pounds since pre op which is 50% of what I was expecting to lose. Not sure what to think on that. Thankfully I’m not in a lot of pain except I got Gout from the diet! That is a lot of pain. Holy smokes! Hope everyone is doing well and happy thanksgiving for those that celebrate.

I had a similar experience for a week or so. Then I started taking things to make me poop. If your not pooping you won’t lose! Your just filling up your intestines!

The easy answer i found is that it takes away your choice. After the surgery you don’t have a choice anymore. It’s not up to you so you follow the steps. Most of the food is available in the stores in individual packages. You won’t be cooking for quite a while and by then you will welcome the chance for some variety.

How’s everyone doing?! 3 weeks for me know. I’m on soft foods which is nice! Down 38 lbs since the pre op diet started. Really seeing a change now?

Be prepared for constipation. Start taking proactive measures now!

Pains fine. And mobility is ok. Little pain bending etc but less than anticipated. No painkillers at all. Except a Advil before bed.

I’m ok thanks. See the nutritionist today. I’m 9 days post now and losing. Constipated which is new. Frocking ostrich eggs lol. Otherwise looking forward to some real food at some point. Or at least mashed food. But for now it’s protein shake and jello. Or cream of wheat. Yeh!!!! You?

I hate jello! And decaf coffee too now. Not sure how that happened.

Hope everyone is fine! Still nervous I’m Losing to much. Down 10 pounds in 6 days. 26 in the past 3 weeks including liquid pre diet. Anyway I feel ok. Start work pt tomorrow. Should be a interesting week. How are you doing Poly?

Had my first day of eating today. No more clear fluids! I got the sleeve done. Have lost my bloating and am starting to drop. Just nervous I can eat enough lol.

Hey. I’m in as well. 3 days post.
