you look awesome..your legs look sooo tiny..i have 2 weeks to go. May 25th..im soo friggin excited..im ready this time..i am..then i can put my entire wardrobe (designer, at that) on ebay..lol

Had a bit of a trying week. I work in Elections and Tuesday was school elections and they brought in all this not so good for you food. So of course I had to have some. Although I did not do as bad as I would have in the past and I think the scale will show that when I weigh myself tomorrow. If I gained a pound this week oh well I won't fret because I know it'll come off next week.

That's alot of weight you've lost so far. How awesome is that. Your liquid diet will be easier. By next week you won't be wanting to kill people and being around food will be easier for you. You will see that weight dropping off you and it will keep you focused on your goal!

Hello babydoll1, things are going good. I went to my 2 week check up on the 5th. I have my first fill next month on the 9th. I started my soft foods on that day also for four days. So on Mothers Day I can have reg. foods. My doctor said to eat slow and to take small bites.How is the weight loss going for you?

pre-op went fine. But, the week before the surgery my stepfather passed away and we had to race down to Arkansas for the funeral. We had to cancel the primary doctors surgical clearance appt and the apt scheduler at my surgeon just about lost her mind. She was very uncaring and let me know that she did not appreciate having to reschedule a dr appt. I had a great surgeon and most of the staff has been friendly but my experience with her has me thinking about changing practices for my follow up. She has always been a little rude. I have heard her talking inappropriately about other pts. Saying that they call and ask too many questions and are non compliant with the program. My surgery went very well and I am home. I will be thinking about you tommorow. Take care of yourself today. I treated myself to a pedicure (with out polish) the day before and it was a nice treat. have gas x and plenty of jello and pudding on hand. I will say a prayer for your speedy recovery.

Hi Kathy! I've been on real food since my post-op visit 2 weeks ago.

Broth- I used Leana's (voiceomt2002) recipes for that and the soups I made. I've made several other of her recipes as well. She's writing a cookbook now!! have fun.

Good luck tomorrow!!! I am still a little over a week out ... Liquid diet is going well... I try to stay busy and exercise when I feel I want to eat... I def know the difference now from wanting to eat and needing to eat. Nice to hear from you!!! Once again good luck tomorrow. Talk to you soon ...

Hi Kim

Well its taken a week but I feel great. I went for my 1 week postop and I lost 18lbs!!!!!! The food is starting to gross me out and I stare at people eat like a starving child but the weight loss is worth it.

Any word from your insurance? I ended up calling myself to find out, why don't you try that.

Good luck with it and let me know.
