Hey everybody since our april thread is a bit disorganized Amourette and I decided to start a new one:-) How is everybody doing with their weight loss? Im not losing and way too frustrated:)

So Efficka............I am doing ok but not as well as I thought I would be......have my 5 week check up next Thursday, approx a week away...........I really struggled with the mushie stage............am still struggling now.........I don't understand...............how is everyone else doing??????? Feeling a bit down!

Well doll..........I don't have my 5 week check up till next week, I am still off work from flying, which is killing me as I am not earning what I should be................I am on mushie's now but struggling!!!!!

I am finding it hard, how about you?:rolleyes

I have had no weight loss at all.....but then I am glad to have food down at all, and have been spreading the mushies out..........how about you love??!!!!

Hiya....I was goin' gangbusters at first but now I've stalled (0 loss) for the last 7 days. I started mushies 6 days ago so that may have something to do with it (?). Plus, I have been exercising (no ab work!). I don't start solids until 27 May but I may start a few days earlier. Right now I'm certain I have nooooo restriction but I'm still trying to eat as if I do. I get my first fill on 1 Jun...I hope that will help. I'm in it for the long haul so I'm just trying to keep things into perspective and look at the overall goal. It's hard sometimes though....I really miss some of my food!!!! LOL.

Everyone keep up the good work. One minute at a time if you have to!

Well don't know what my surgeion wil say either.......will let you know..............Ok so I have friends coming around tomorrow nite, give m,e some ideas for mushies.....................:clap2:

and you want to do mushies for your friends as well?

yeah, why should I suffer???

I dunno, well what I love are sliced potatoes (thin) a bit of cream, blue cheese and milk,put the potatoes into the sauce and bake them for I would say 20 minutes.Its almost like mushies:-) or the pie,cant remember how you guys call it but its meat cut into tiny pieces with corn on top of it is mashed potatoes and baked in the oven....

or add into the potatoes some brocoli for your friends of I even add pieces of chicken breasts

Hi Everyone

I'm having my surgery may 25 so I find this site so helpful and informative thanks.

Thanks for starting a new thread.

I start my preop diet thursday and my Doc says only yogurt and cottage cheese, do you think protein shakes are ok on preop. I use the low carb ones? (atkins) also can i have fruit in the yogurt?

Thanks again everyone for support and valuable info

Jill

welcome to our site!

welcome cookingjillie,

I guess the protein shakes are ok.they wanted me on low cal diet in order to shrink my livers:-) Congratulations on your date:-)

Hi Guys!

I just had my five week visit...down another 2 pounds. I will be getting filled on Monday! I am excited!

NJGirl....congratulations on your weight loss!!! I have my check up on Monday, but here they dont give you fills within lets say 4 months...

Hey Girls, I am on my 23rd day and have dropped 19 pounds and lots of inches. Just be careful of what you eat and eat healthy. I dropped 15 and then thought I never would and this morning I had lost another 4. I excercise everyday ( Walk ) and don't eat between meals. My doc says no more and no less than 4-6oz per meal and Recommends nothing but a protein drink for breakfast. I make my meals last at least 30-35 min. and don't drink for at least an hour-hour and a half afterwards. I eat fish of all kinds just baked or grilled,chicken,ground beef,pork loin and then nothing but veggies. Hope this helps some of you and keep it up.
