Hi everyone~

Love to hear about all of the great progress being made and all the different things that each of us are trying. I am 3 weeks post op and doing very well. I had my first post op last week and things were looking great. My doctor allowed me to go ahead and start pureed foods...HOWEVER I have mental block with pureeing meat. Sooooo...I eat real foods and just chew it to death..LOL For the most part I am doing great with it. I am still getting used to taking tiny bites. Apparently i used to shovel in my food by the plate full so what I think is a tiny bite is not so tiny. I am getting better everyday with it. My weight loss is steady and I get excited each day when I step on the scale and see it going down. I have had a couple of days where it has went up and it infuriated me. NO WAY will I accept the scale going up!! So I just walk extra and it goes back down. As far as excercising goes all I am doing is walking. I am so ready to go to the gym or something more. I want to work on my abs but not yet....dr says NO!

How is everyones port feeling? That is the only place I still have discomfort. I am not sure how long that is susposed to last but my port is right at my waist band in the bend of my waist. I only notice it if I bend over and stand back up or if my clothes push into that area. I hope with time that that will go away. I wonder how it will be when I don't have as much cushion around it..lol

Well, thats all for today. I will check back in soon

Hi yourself.

Hi, Amymom2! You are down nearly 29 lbs?!?!?! Congratulations. That is awesome. How are you feeling? I think we had surgery at about the same time (mine was Oct 11th).

Hi

Hi!

Hi

Yes...I cant believe how fast it is coming off at this point. My doctor say that will slow up soon. I am trying to walk alot and that seems to be the difference maker. How are you feeling? How is your port sight?

hahahaaaaa...HI! I hit the post button before I was finished with my post.

Hi!

Looks like you're doing really well! I lost quickly too. It's pretty exciting! I think your port pain should subside soon. That was the last thing that hurt for me too. I don't even notice it at all now except I can feel it under my skin.

Awesome to hear!! You have lost over half of your total....thats incredible! I can't wait to hit that mark. It is so exciting!

Well, it looks like you're definitely on the right track!! I'm looking forward to being down 100 pounds... that's my next mini-victory.

You will be there by next week probably..so cool!

Great Start! I am a little over a week out and had my 1 week follow up this morning. My incision site looked good and I'm down 23 pounds! I also get to start full liquids, and am ready for this week to fly by so I can get my hands on some real food. Even if it is all mushie! I still feel like someone punched me in the stomach, but every day it gets better. I've finally gotten rid of all the gas pain, and just have a lingering cough that I can't wait to be gone!

congrats

i am alittle over 2 weeks

feeling much better

looking forward to solid food next week

how much walking are you doing

i hope that counts
