This is sooo inspiring to me!!!!

Congrats on reaching your goal!

Thanks for the update. I will definitely try the baby food meats and mashed potatoes. When did you start eating this 2 or 3 week?

You know I was looking at using Dr. Rod to and going to Star Medica but after reading the US Travel advisory, I decided that it was just to dangerous for me. I had enough to worry about with my surgery without having to worry about the violence. I really hope you are doing better. Keep me post. Good luck!

I got home yesterday, how are you doing? I hope things have got better for you. If not I would definitely call your doctor and your patient coordinator ASAP.

Congrats on the fantastic WL!!! I'm only 6 days out from my surgery and LOVE hearing reports like this!! I'm trying to figure out my post op diet and it's been a little crazy because everyone's post-op differs as to when you go from Clear liquids, full liquids and soft foods??? I want to have the kind of success that you are having!!! Please share your thoughts and insights of your post-op diet. Obviously you are doing the right things!!

Awesome!! Congrats on the WL!! I'm not weighing yet!! I gained weight in the hospital from the IV's so I'm a little intimidated with the scale right now but I'm doing all I know to do it right so my body should cooperate!! I was told that first 3 weeks was up and down because of your body adjusting??? Any post-op advice is appreciated!!

Congrats on the WL!!! Do you mind sharing your post op diet? I really want to be successful but I'm not sure when to start what?? full liquids?? What is that? Soft food?? When and what?? Is pureed considered full liquids or soft foods?? My head is spinning!!! Please save me from this madness!!

Congrats on the WL!! I'm only 6 days out and I'm still trying to figure out when, what and how to eat!! I've been on Clear liquids and I added full liquids yesterday. But in looking at the different post op diets, it's really different?? Liquids/clear?full? soft food?? It's confusing on when to start what?? It's all over the charts!! Anywho, I welcome any suggestions;)

Sounds yummy....definitely going to try:) Thanks!

So noted. Makes perfect sense to me. Thanks!

You are definitely an inspiration and I welcome any "post-op" diet recommendations! I'm trying to find my way, I'm still on clear/full liquids (day 6 post-op) trying to figure out how, what and when to eat? How to get my Protein in 50 to 70 grams per day?? Thanks for you posts and congrats on exceeding your target weight loss!!!

I am so glad to hear this. I was wondering how such drastic caloric restriction was going to keep my body from going into "starvation mode"! I'm definitely trying to find my way as I am only 6 days post op(Vertical Sleeve Plication) and I'm trying to figure out how to get all my protein in on a clear/full liquid diet. Good luck and keep posting. It really helps to communicate with people who are walking similar paths and sharing the experiences along the way. I just love this forum. I'm constantly learning from "someone" on this site!!

Keep posting..I definitely want to follow you on your journey. My surgery is tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is my big day!! I'm getting Sleeve Plication with Dr. Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center in TJ. I have gone back and forth with Sleeve Plication versus Sleeve Gastrectomy and unless something changes after pre-ops in the morning, I will be getting the plication. I am a little nervous but I've done my research and I feel confident with Dr. Ortiz and his team:)
