Thanks ! The mushies are going "ok" , the weird thing is that I am not even hungry like I used to be and have to force myself to eat.....I will admit that I am eating chunkie (no punn intended !) food as well and have absolutely no problems but still take it slow. Move around ? lol If you call painting the kitchen, hall way and stair way moving around I would have to say yes I am ! I hve also been planting a ton of stuff in the yard. I ended up in urgent care due to a bladder infection but they just gave me more pills to pound . All in all it has been good so far ! I love to cook and have yet to do any in the past 5 weeks but will startg again soon.

Did you get your date yet ? Have you started the pre op diet ?

Congrats and keep up the good work. I know that the group that I am going to requires a 10% body weight , weight loss before they schedule the surgery. I have a 32 pound weight loss ahead of me.

Date bumped up to August 17th. I have so far lost 26lbs!! YAY!! Keep getting nervous that I am going to gain it back by the time I get the surgery, but I am still working out daily, see my trainer 3x weekly, and eating well. Weird thing is, I feel full after a small amount of food and "feel bad" about it. I don't want to feel bad about that....

Hey on another note, how soon after surgery were you guys back to working out??

I was banded 7/27. It seems pretty dead around here. Where are you from?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
