I am on cloud 9 at the moment. I lost 13 pounds since my surgery so I am now down 43 pounds!

I can now have soft foods so as soon as I got home I made a Hula Scramble (Hungry Girl) and it was DEE LISH!!

I can now exercise as tolerated. It will be a while before I attempt anything abdominal because it is pretty sore still at the port site. But yay, I can start toning up my floppy arms!!

Congratulations! Keep it up!

Congrats! and what is a hula scramble ?

1/2 c egg substitute, 2 oz. ham chopped fine, 1 pineapple ring chopped and a Laughing cow Light Swiss wedge. I the recipe is probably on line. Hungry Girl did the recipe. I love it!

Congrats to you on your post op appointment. I got the same go ahead from my doctor. Never thought chewing soft foods could be so heavenly. Congrats on your weight loss so far too!! Keep it up. P.S. my port site is really sore too and was even more so after yesterday's visit when he checked to find it. Did a lot of pressing.

Good luck!!

Yeah, mine is stinging a bit just from him taking off the streri strips. Luckily he did not press on mine.

I am actually chewing eggs, lol. I think I used to swallow them whole before.

Congrats on your weightloss. I'm 2 wks post op too!

To Marybell- don't worry, the first week i didn't lose a whole lot, i was still swollen and bloated feeling.
